A Funky Thing - FunkRick

15th Feb 2023 13:03 - 3 years ago
Description : Old school Funk merging 70s and 80s styles. Only keys are midi. The beat is from an 80s Roland CR-8000 which I am using quite frequently nowadays. The rest is straight in.Let me know what you think any comments appreciated.

*Just added a slightly rearranged version and worked a bit on the sound issue*

FunkRick this one has a Stax/Memphis nostalgia 60s 70s vibe. Thanks for the trip back in time.

Very funky! It sounds like you but a lot of time and effort to make this funky song. It's like a funk salad. You got a lot of cool funky things in this one like the Rhodes and the Clav, or was the clav a funky guitar? Anyway, it's funky. Well done.

Lovely sounds man. I recognise the Roland, I have something similar although right now it's broken and catching dust.
Some nice references to a lot of funky 70s songs :)

Thank you BaoBou for your comment! I am just working on the mix which is quite annoying to me as I am not a technical person in this respect and do a little bit of new arrangement. I still have an old Korg Vocooder which needs to be repaired as well as an MS 10. I think its worth it those god old analoge machines are awesome.Great that you recognized my influence from back in the days :).

Description : This is Splatterhouse ENT at its finest - F2F made the beat, the Maawb brought the heat. I added a few flourishes but its F2F for the most part. Two more Halloween tracks remain to be shared.
