Cowboy Vs Technology - RayKoefoed

12th Aug 2008 23:57 - 18 years ago
Description : I think you will like this one! I have decided to stop concerning myself so much about vocals and just enjoy making the music. This is the first track that I have made that was intended as an instrumental and wasn't built around potential lyrics that I had in mind. Instead, on this track I decided I wanted to try creating a decent old fashion sounding steel guitar riff with my midi keyboard and some old soundfonts I have collected. I worked in some Sytrus action (like I love doing) and some cinematic sounding cello and choir. I really started liking how the digital instruments were sounding along with the traditional ones so I thought I would just go with it. Hence the name of the track. I hope it sounds as good to you as it did to me while I was making it. Please let me know what you think.

wow ur just as wacky as me with the song titles,great vibes from the track,you have great midi skills with the guitar riff in great harmony too.
choir is not bad fits really well with the theme which by the way kinda has a outer space cowboy feel

Thanks Frenchkid. Unfortunately it is only a digital instrument, not a real and good guitar, like the one you play

cinematic sounds always seem to catch my ear as what this has sounded like
Great guitar strumming, awesome choir, beats crisp, masterings well done, panning and effects are well sought and used
Very professional but i don't know where i'd see this, it's a very strange journey like composition
great work mate
God Bless

Thanks for the very kind review Gsusfrk. I don't know what this would be used either really, haha. Maybe the credits of a low budget old western style scifi movie?

I listened to this a bunch of times. Nice. Love the sub tone bass and the cello really catches my ear. Good work.

I was sitting and enjoying this tune when all of a sudden it ended. Its got a nice slow intro, building up... that's where I felt it left me hanging, just when I felt like I was building with the music, it stopped. Maybe build it up and then ease out as it eased in.
I'm going to listen to more of your works. Looking forward to it.

I didn't put as much time into this one as some of the prior tracks. You are probably right though, it could have used a little bit more going on. Thanks for the review audioprojek.

sorry I am a bit late on replying, but thank you for the nice comment easygroove. I hope to keep setting my standard higher, though I am not sure how much higher I will be able to with any real music education. I will just hope that practice makes perfect.

I wanted to add some sound clips from some Clint Eastwood westerns in it, but then did some research on the forums about movie clips and copyright and knew I shouldn't. I bet you would have enjoyed it though. Thanks for your review gizzard!

Description : "All my songs are inspired by the work of the bands King and Jester and Kukryniksy. I wrote the lyrics for this track, and the music was created by artificial intelligence. The lyrics are original; I wrote them myself. I don't have the ability to create music for this track, but I hope you'll at least like the lyrics." I'm presenting these tracks to you in the form of a demo - this is what they might sound like; I want you to evaluate my lyrics.

Description : Mindway and The Monzder Squadd go together like peanut butter and jelly man. This is our 4th or 5th collab, I think, but for this one, Pnnywze wanted to blend his and Mindway's production styles and see what happens. This is what happens.

NOTE - Shared this one yesterday before I realized that Rob Fame's verse at the end was messed up. So I'm sharing it with Rob's part cut out until my brother fixes it tomorrow.
