Waiting - JHolmes

Thank you; It's one of my favorite songs too. I have no idea what came over me when I wrote it, but I remember it taking at least 60 or 70 hours to get to the "yeah, I think this song is gonna be good" stage.

Thanks. I'll put the download option back up for awhile.

Thank you. This is one of those tracks I jam out to on my ipod for half the song before I realize it's one of mine. Definitely one of my inspired pieces.

I'll put it back up on featured, on the off chance that helps someone else see it.

Thank you for the review. It's always nice to hear when someone appreciates my work, even if someone else has already said they appreciate it.

The intro part is a chillout drum loop (or four) I rearranged to fit the right kind of swing (I think it started as a four on the floor beat). When the next kit adds in, it was a very plain chillout loop at the same low speed. I started doubling hits on the loops, moving elements around, and generally changing the sound to match what I had in my head.

The last set of drums to add in was a Drum and Bass loop at twice the speed of the chillout ones. I mostly left this one alone, only doing a few minor tweaks to get it to overlay the other kits more naturally.

All in all, I think it's eight or nine loops I sliced and chopped and rearranged. I've been using FL Studio's SlicerX plugin for my slicing, if that's helpful to hear.

I love Moby's work, particularly his older stuff from around the time Go made it big, and for some reason his rock album really clicked with me. I haven't heard any of Brian Eno's work, so I'll have to check him out. Thank you for the review.

I've really enjoyed writing it. I hadn't thought of doing vocals, but I think they'd fit nicely.

Due to a foreclosure on my landlord, I'll be moving up north in a week or two. I have a friend in the area who does a lot of indie work, and his voice is... incredible, in a death cab for a cutie sort of way. I think I'll see if I can get him to put a track down for me. I'll upload if/when that happens.
