Description : Here is something -unusual- for between. A kind of a shanty.
In a new, minimal, dark, trancelike, wave style. Letz call it electro shanty!
This is an 80 years old song about a crew on a ship.
First there water went bad, then they got no wind, then they hit a riff.
And one after the other died on hunger and bad water ....
I changed the music abit for a more dramatic feeling :)
I used two loops from looperman for this track.
looperman-l-0510699-0066795-jcb-stereo-panning-toms.wav and
looperman-l-0711069-0075941-kristijann-hip-hop-drumloop.wav (used to create the drumsound)
And just one synthsound from IL Autogun.
The rest is just voices.
Hope you like it. This isnt perfect at all
but this is realy more a kind of a fun project.

Very impressive effort you've made here! To me, this has a very minimal techno vibe to it. With just some subtle changes throughout, it would sound more finished and enticing, but I love it as is. The stereo toms are quite impressive, and I can hear why they were inspiring to you. I also like renewing quite old songs as something new and different, so I see where you are coming from. Very hypnotic and enjoyable electronic song, and your voice is quite good! Keep at it! Fave!

Hi Spivkurl.

This is (just) a real raw file. Often i like this raw things more then the finished work. Thats one of the reason why i need so long to do things new :)

This toms are very cool and in my ears they cryed for some vocals. So i done it.

Nice to hear that you enjoyed the listen and give the track a fav.

stay tuned

You seem to run in the same crowd that I find myself in. I was attracted to your German accent and found this to be a nice little track. I can't understand German but it is distinctive. I would like you to sing a song of my lyrics in English with your accent. We'll need some music and I suggest some dance beat that pulsates. The words I have so far are "Rock and Roll Reiner" I will develop it more if you are interested.

So i would enjoy to do something new.

Hey Joe, really creative work here. I haven't heard the original shanty, but I know you have put a really cool modern tilt to it and it works really well. Like I said, it isn't easy to take a song that is over 80 years old and make it work in today's market.

Outstanding effort. It is a little bit long, but what the heck, it is a shanty. They are supposed to be long :)

Hello ShortBusMusic

Thanks for your kind words.
I am happy that you think it works.

Maybe i realy should do a -Madagaskar- track,
with the knowing that i do a -Madagaskar- track.

....the only thing is, my daughter hates the lyrics
- to depresive - :) so i have to do it in the night

stay tuned

Hi. I guess there aren't many tracks in the 'German electro sea shanty' genre. Maybe this is the only one!

I like the vibe and the vocals work well. The main percussive synth movement is good but I really feel the track is just too repetitive.

There are lots of fills or even proper changes you could add to make things more interesting.

Sorry I don't have much else to say but that's because I can't find many different sections to talk about.

Because it's so repetitive, it seems very long.

Let me know if you hear it differently.

Hello Static Nomad

I dont know if it is the first one of a genre :) who knows

The point is - i didnd start to do this track.

I just listen to some loops and by that i found this stereo toms. I liked the sound and the hypnotic feeling and so i just taked a mic and maked some noise to it. It ends on this madagaskar song and i loved the beat and this sad lyrics.
So i just sang the lyrics a few times and later i tryed to make some sounds around. AND a bad thing happend. I didnt hit the notes cause i didnt had any while singing. So only on the main text the notes fits and on the refrain it sounded very bad. So i just take it as it was.

The song is 7 parts long and normaly between all come a refrain. mostly 2 times. i redused that but you are right, it is realy long .......

I realy felt in love to this song and i believe i will do a "real" track with it. And then there will be more sounds and things around. Cause this dieing crew thing and the ocean and the sad feelings .... there can be so much sound

Ok, thanks for your time u spend

stay tuned
joe

Description : Basically, this track was made back in the day when I was a HUGE Electro House (Especially, Big Room) fan. I was inspired by the track LRAD by Knife Party but I ended up with this piece of poopie. I'm not even trying to produce EDM anymore but I just wanted to share this since I spent a lot of time on this. Positive/Negative comments are all welcome! Thanks!

Description : A long time goal of ours was to produce an Electroswing song. Mercury Retrograde means that your day is actually spoiled with problems (If you believe in Astrology) due to the fact that Mercury seems to rotate in a different direction. Thank you 8keey,1Eig8ty and Baby Vice Beats for the loops. And now: Please Start to swing :-)

Description : Hey guys! Here's my remix for Skwish Fish's competition. I try to keep to the original as much as I can. This will probably be my last track in a while. I will be moving for college, and I know I'll be very busy. I did this more for fun than competitively. Good luck to any/all participators. Shout out to Skwish Fish himself for the original.

Description : A fan outro music for Growling Sidewinder
I tried to make the track as CLEAN and professional as possible.
Fruity Reverb for the Arps
Fruity EQ 2 with automated bandwidth
Vital (Most sounds I templated from presets)
In scale of D Minor
Gross Beat for that "pumping" sound effect
Sampled laser gun shot for that subtle growl
sampled knocking sfx for the signature cyberpunk bass roll
