Rough Edge - One Hour Challenge - EphyMusic

Description : So, I started this morning. I had this idea in my head: I wanted to make a song that starts in 3/4, and transitions to 4/4. I thought it would be great for a 1-hour push. I got the song done in about 54 minutes, still had 6 more, so I mastered it to the best of my ability. I had to stop at 1 hour, of course. So I did. I apologize if it doesn't sound to great. Anyhow, It's short because I wanted it to be short. I just wanted to exemplify the idea I had, that 3/4 to 4/4. Hope you all like it!

Had to absolutely DESTROY those drums, though.

Note: This isn't ACTUALLY Drum and Bass, but Looperman doesn't have IDM so it's the closest thing.

This is really good for one hour, how'd you manage to get the beat done in that amount of time, it sounds great

It was actually just quick work for me. I tend to make drum patterns by beat boxing the beat out while I make it. But the glitchiness was done with just slicing the patterns really fine and such. Not too hard.

Yo.

This is some pretty powerful stuff and very good for only one hour.

Compelling, kind of pretty intro. Good soundtrack music, actually.

Then some massive bass and distorted, crunchy percussion. Sounds like a fat, very fast d'n'b groove might drop. But it doesn't.

Good to hear you're working on a fuller mix as this is well worth pursuing. Master isn't bad though maybe it's a bit too loud.

2:41 nice arp outro. In a fuller version, perhaps the fast d'n'b drums drop after 8 bars or so of that outro arp and then we're into the second half, with perhaps the first 3/4 half returning in 4/4 time.

What do you think?

Nice grunge to it. Kind of industrial sci fi like. Really good for 54 minutes of work. Master is not bad either. Like those synths. Really nice execution and arrangement

Description : Unfiltered. Just me and the Squier Stratocaster. Comp edited the recorded guitar freestyle clips so it all sounds like it was recorded in one take. I used one of my old beats. Trying to get my guitar to scream was my goal, but in the process i made the guitar make sounds i didn't know it could make.

Really extreme Carti style mixed with Punjabi vocals given by my friend Abbi. This song has a futuristic Arabic vibe. Hope you enjoy it!
