Description : Lofi jazz kind of feel - reposting again for a bit of variety (for some who might not have heard it)

a cut up of Charles Bukowski reading one of his poems live set to some beats and sax

one of a number of experiments on my learning
curve where a vocal sample or narrative drives/ creates interest for the track

Using MPC as a DAW

Hey - thanks for checking out some of the old back catalogue (most is relegated to the dead zone of soundcloud to make room for newer experiments) - I like this one too : )

Pretty interesting track, like the concept! So that's the author reciting it? The music is impactful, goes well with the topic. Sax was a cool addition.

"And an invisible chicken in every pot", ha, great line!

Hey Wayne - thanks for listening mate - yeah thats Charles Bukowski reading his poem of the same name (whilst getting drunk - he was somewhat infamous with the booze) - he is writing about the rain in the depression ... hence the line but yeah its a good one

Wow must of missed this in your stuff mate, great experiment, it works, the pace is great, good beat and the sax drifting in and out, with Bukowski spoken word adding a resonance, definitely lazy day jazz approach, nice giving it a fav cos it's different and cool

Thanks - I was happy with this one even without the Bukowski but the cut up poem certainly adds some narrative structure

Have to say I love this, your music and the poem equally. Has a tom waits vibe in a way. Awesome and well done.

Buen tema amigo pseudoble. Me encanta que hayas utilizado un poema de Bukowski para arroparlo con ese fondo musical tan apropiado y alternativo. También he colaborado con algunos poetas y me sentido muy identificado contigo. Bravo.

Thanks

I think the success of the track might be more to Bukowski than me but I appreciate your compliment

And Yeah - I hadnt thought of Morphine but I used to listen to them a lot ... so many influences hey

Description : I like to play with myself... Thats not how that sounded in my head lol. I finally am satisfied with my digital VST band. I have a Drum, Bass, Lead Guitar, Rhodes/Keyboard, Synth and some go-to Vocals.
Now all I need is some good ideas for tracks and more practice on my Mix/Mastering game.
This track is a slow 97.5 "Chill-ish", I'm trying out my new Band :)

PEACE...

Description : Made with a good amount of out of tune on a very minory chordy tuning I did about a week or two ago.

Lyrics are literally just an absolutely abrasive and unrecognizable part of the verse to John Lennon's Working Class Hero which
illuminates my bullying more than any song I have come across ever.

I named it bandit as a sort of that's what you get to society for people like me
