Slap Attack - MattKern

24th Dec 2008 05:27 - 17 years ago
Description : Heres the deal. This tune was suppose to be a different tune, but somewhere in the process that different tune evaporated and this tune stuck. Only problem was that different tune was in C and thay wasn't a good key for the samples I ended up using.

By the time it actually became "this tune" it was too late to go back and change the key (because I am lazy and I had too many parts already painfully pasted together) so I ended up with a blues in C.

It also means all of your cool "blues" loops will have to have the pitch shift - o - meter set to overdrive.

On a positive note, I found these great harmonica licks by this guy named "Slap Johnson" on this site. They really made the track.

The name has kind of a double meaning. 1) Slap is the guy who played the harp, 2) the horns had to be pitch shifted so much that I added a ton of slap delay to them to hide the artifacting. It makes it sound kind of dance-y.

There you have it. Slap Attack.

amazing! i see you found the great slaps harmonica loops but i think with out the rest of the song they would just be loops,

i have to agree with everyone and make it longer!

Yes i agree with kapkurt, this could be longer, production is great though... it feels professional... Great track. i read what you were saying on the other site you posted about not jamming in C, im probably worse, im quick to call out Eb minor pentatonic,
(which on the piano is all the black keys)... it also makes it a hell of alot harder for everyone else... w/e great mix though!

Thanks guys for your reviews. It is short but the thing I was writing it for only needed a minutes worth. Plus I was out of samples!

Description : A reimagining of my original track Drive which was uploaded some time ago. This time a female vocal has been added with the help of AceStudio and the track updated somewhat to a hopefully better standard.

Enjoy!

Description : I wanted to create a Euro dance anthem with a hip hop beat and a lower bpm than the traditional 128 to 136 bpm range. This is the beat I created. No AI has been used in this track. I created everything myself. It is a purely instrumental beat. I used Rapid Synth for the euro lead sound and the melody has been composed by me. The drums are a loop from this site.

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.
