MY TRIBE - CitizenMofo

7th Mar 2017 11:26 - 9 years ago
Description : This song made its own path, inspired by the loop groove I was building, and I just went along for the ride with its weird structure. Vocals and guitar by Sunny War, will be on our album TRIBEZ. Sunny plays the guitar but the licks were inspired by the guitar loops we replaced from the scratch build, in many cases she played the same note pattern but with a different timbre. Thanks to MrFunktastic for the opening riff, and to the great Danke for the 2nd guitar riff that comes in later. Thanks to zipbass for the funky guitar in the break - that ain't Sunny - and another thanks to MrFunktastic for the big band break. There are other loops in the mix with Sunny, thank you all - another song that would not exist without looperman. Please let me know your thoughts on this one.

Tribal greetings.

Solid beat to kick things off, a big fill and then busy vocals and guitar enter. Pretty energetic, appealing stuff. A fat sound and good groove.

1:05 a little bit of a break from the intensity plus some new, dirty guitar weirdness.

Around 1:30 bass sound really solid.

1:40 her harmonised voice sounds great! Nice wah and 1:49 panned synth is really powerful and dark.

Very busy mix (something I do a lot) but everything seems pretty well ordered.

2:54 nice drop back into the funkier beat. Good mix of deep groove hip hop and weirder, dirtier, grungier guitar music

A decent ending and conclusion to a powerful piece of alternative music.

Congrats.

StaticNomad, you reveal the inner workings of my own songs to me like no one else. It's always interesting how you break it down, and really makes me think about my own stuff a little harder (another hair past obsession). And that is a very very good thing. Thank you thank you thank you for your comments and help. (Yeah, the ending's only decent - gonna maybe play with that a bit in our session tonight...)

Good job!
The only thing I would change is the stereo balance.
It's a little off to the right imo.

Hi Danke, the loop in question is looperman-l-0671112-0079862-danke-low-tuned-metal-riff. It was 80bpm but I upped it to 88. Sunny plays a similar lick, but I think it still needs to be louder. So thanks for providing one of the seeds for this tune, and for the listen and the feedback, as always!

Thanks, pal. Yeah, Sunny can sing, and Sunny can play. We've got a session tomorrow and that might be the last song for the album - I'm still working out the final line-up. This is the best thing I've ever done, thanks to Sunny's help, and so I don't want to mess it up. I really appreciate your input and kind comments, keeps me going!

Description : The title is in reference to the movie, The Fifth Element. This one is kinda experimental, but still heavy. With dialogue of a sci-fi nature for a halloween vibe. Something in the style of Rob Zombie maybe.

No acapella on this, so it'll sound weird for a bit. Check it on my Soundcloud if you wanna hear it.

I used the acapella by MaximusRome and some bits by Metal Ed.

Just enjoy or bin it :) :) :)
