Recorded jams aren't always the best "songs" but interesting to listen to as a musician.

A great display of your musicianship :)

Haven't been on the loop in a while; glad to see you're still putting out tracks :)

Really nice live feel with the guitar. Definitely surf rock with a bit of folk feel to my ears. ahhhh then the synth comes in! excellent.

I feel like it could be cleaned up just a slight bit, but the composition is quite solid and I thoroughly have enjoyed my listen. Cheers!

Good to see someone who has been here longer than me!

There is a lot to clean up, the mix isn't perfect and neither is the playing. If I spent a week or so arranging it and composing some better parts it could come together.

Thanks for swinging by!

The track has a nice flow to it. I think it has a very wide range of vocals that would fit to this track. the mix is good and ready to explore the deep ocean sea!

Thanks! I agree, a vocal track or even a guitar track could take this in a certain maybe different direction.

Thanks man! It's just something to mix, nothing special really.

It makes me nervous getting into the water, floating around and swimming against the tides. Sometimes you see bait fish around you and that's when I get the heck onto the beach, something's chasing them around. I know they satellite track a few great white sharks that have been tagged and swim about 20 miles off shore, up and down the coast. Yikes! ha!

Superbe morceau que voilà! pour ma part (chacun y verra ce qu'il veut, notre culture musicale est propre à chacun lol), j'y retrouve des influences de groupes 60's comme Creedence Clearwater notamment sur l'ambiance globale du morceau.
Mention particulière à la ligne de basse: superbement groovy qui moi me rappelle celles de Gallup.
Félicitations pour ce morceau! et en effet, pas sur que cette version instru s'enrichisse de paroles :)

Je me le mets de coté pour le ré écouter plus tard :)

Greetings.

Intro made me think if a cross between Sister Hazel and Drive By Truckers. Verse more Truckers.

Really enjoying the bass guitar throughout. I would have overdone it and ruined it. You made it tasteful and interesting, and with a great tone.

A kind-of happy/murky feel coexisting. Not murky in tone or sound quality, but in conveyed atmosphere. I dig it!

I hope all is well.

DBT were on a Tiny Desk Concert podcast a little while ago. I do like their music, good story songs.

Been working on instrument sound quality lately, now that I can hear things better I need to make some more adjustments, things are slowly getting better, hopefully.

Thanks for listening in and commenting!

Within seconds I was thinking Nick Cave.
Yep we want blood and death.
You need some killer lyrics on this .......
theHumps
theHumps replied 9th May 2017 - 8 years ago
Blood and death seem to be the request of the day for this track. Can't say I was thinking of doing vocals for this one but stranger things have happened.

Do I need some killer lyrics or would serial killer lyrics on this track be better? I mean what would Nick do?

Cheers man!

You describe the way I most enjoy doing music Wayne...I very seldom do anything but one takes on guitar & bass...& if I screw up too bad I just hit delete & start again or it is what it is...actually this whole thing sounds damn coherent to me...and my mind is catching a bit of the old Surfer Music vibe (and thats where I first started playing...Ventures...Shadows..etc...)
This is my kind of music my friend...absolutely love it...its real..got the feeling...played with talent...Great stuff...big fav.....Ed

theHumps replied 8th May 2017 - 8 years ago
Hey Ed! I usually do 2 takes as the first take is where I work out some ideas and just play, mistakes are common. By the second take I have the ideas in my head then need to play it better and tighten it up. As I never practice, the pressure is on to perform and to just play from the heart. I can tell by listening to your songs that you hit the red button and just play, a lifetime of skill and musical know how makes it fun rather than work.

I shouldn't say it has no structure as there are distinct parts to the song and they flow because I mostly play in one key and intentionally played distinctly different bass parts with different dynamics. I think there is a key change in there somewhere but I am not going back and figuring it out, he.

I've always loved surf music, great stuff! Take care Ed!

This should have vocals about murder betrayel and some more murder; got a nick cave feel to it so that's why. Cool piggy sound for the bass, i like the grawl.
theHumps
theHumps replied 8th May 2017 - 8 years ago
"....and some more murder" lol! Nick Cave reference, dig that.

"Piggy sound"? Can't say I've ever heard that expression. :) The growl that the bass guitar has is just how the Fender Jazz bass guitars sound. Mine is the Jaco Pastorius 1962 reissue, well know for it's exceptional tone. They were designed by Fender to compete against the Rickenbacker electric bass that was very punchy and bright and was popular and sold well at the time.

I go from the guitar into my bass amp, direct line out into my Focusrite Saffire pro then into my mac through lightening connection and am starting to get the punch and tone the Jazz bass is know for being, the best bass guitar in the world. I don't use any pedals or software to enhance it, other than some eq and compression in Ableton.

Thanks for stopping by!

I like the live jam sort of feel to this one! Those one take recordings can be gems a lot of the time, and I would say this is one of those moments. The bass playing is quite cool, and puts me in mind of the recent New Order album, after Peter Hook left. Very stylish rock style, which is very much the style I've come to know from you, and you alone. Very groovy and fun! Dig it! Fave!
theHumps
theHumps replied 8th May 2017 - 8 years ago
I used to do about 35 of these quick ideas several years ago and now I do only about 30 songs total a year. I can hear the tracks much better with my new gear and the input signal is about as good as it's ever been. Getting in and out of ideas like this teaches me a lot and I am seeing better results with substantially less mixes.

This one wasn't about a perfect arrangement or an unforgettable guitar performance. It was about spontaneity and working out an idea a little with a limiting bass line which I had no intention of changing. It was a fun challenge.
There are parts that are interesting and cool despite winging the whole thing, lol. Glad you liked it Spiv!

great track Wayne

the first two chords like an R.E.M. song and that's lead through...towards the end you rowed to the fields of the jam...bass tone is very good again...

all in all, good song, handshake, Danke

theHumps replied 8th May 2017 - 8 years ago
Thanks man! Been working on getting the bass sounding better. The git has an inherent grounding issue that causes me to clip some of the high end freqs so I am not totally happy with it, it could be a bit more punchy.

Take care!

Wayne

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.

Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.

Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
