Die Vlakte - DanWilson

3rd Jun 2009 22:13 - 17 years ago
Description : Another track from a collaboration with sax man Luke Townsend from Cape Town, also featured on last year's album called 'The Trip'. The title is Afrikaans and means 'The Flats' - it describes an area in the Karoo Desert which is endless. The piece started off as a 2 chord bass groove, which drives the main section, over which a bass melody was added. Luke then dropped in various melodic statements and we developed it with some percussion overdubs. Put together using Acid Pro and finished off using CuBase. The horns were mainly live, and the bass grooves are looped with some variation here and there. We used some drum grooves from Captain Asthma together with some drum grooves from Sony Acid that I bought.

Cool. I must think of a way of getting all 10 tracks to you for free. Posting a CD from South Africa would cost a bit. Any ideas?

Description : It was one of those lazy Saturdays and I was like "Lemme open FL Studio and see wassup", and this is what I came up with. It was an experimental track with MychMych's acapella, but I ended up enjoying the vibe.
I hope y'all can vibe with it!

Description : One of my favorites...
I found that sample; I don't remember if it was the Mandrils or not, but after chopping, splicing and dicing, the painting sounded amazing! I had to put pencil to paper (it was 2010). Before I knew it, maybe 20 mins went by and I was done.

I created, wrote, recorded, arranged, mixed and put a small master on it in about an hour. I added a good music friend Jus J. to the end about a week later.

You won't be disappointed.

If you use this sample in your beat or track, feel free to send me the finished result. I'd love to hear how you flip, chop, pitch, or completely transform it.

Tag me or drop your track in the comments - let's hear what you made with it!

Description : When I made this beat, I had only been learning how to create beats for about two years-back then, I was using FL 9. It took me a huge amount of time to figure out how to use FL Studio, lol.
As you can probably hear,
I don't use any loops.
