A Little Thing - Minette

8th Oct 2009 08:27 - 17 years ago
Description : This was done in less than 3 hours - very quickly. I gave the vocals a little bit of a jazzy treatment and spooky echo/reverb keys. I used the Deep Table beat off looperman.com and found it "rides" gently and works well with the theme. Ad-lib vocals... like fireflies in the night... came to this tune.

scarlett, is the colour of my love
for you, and all you are
scarlett, is the colour of the sun
going down, over oceans
far awar

dream a little dream
about a little thing
scarlett is the colour
of love

Seriously, I love anything which contain Tabla. By the way I am a big fan of your voice, very sweet and very pure. Very soothing piano. Goose bumps when solo piano comes in. Overall Superb track.

Hello -

Just to let you know this song still remains in my list of top 20 songs of all time, from anywhere. It still brings tears to my eyes with every listen, and is in nearly all my playlists on my laptop.

Thanks for that.

thanks so much for your kind words. in return, i will tell you why i wrote this wong, without giving too much away.

someone i care about battled a disorder for many years. she found her soulmate, got married, and had the most beautiful little girl. she asked me once to write a song for the little girl, and seeing as we're on different continents, i came up with this.

i think she likes it as much as you.

i am so honoured that you like this song as much as you say.
thanks S :)

I was reminded a bit of Christina Aguilera with this one Minette :) Your voice shines incredibly here and the music goes perfectly. Great work...again.

Really lovely vocals that don't detract from the other instrumentation at all. Very reminescent of Siouxsie Sioux, especially of her work in Creatures. Really like this. Faved.

This one hit the right spot just at the right time. Been feeling down lately, and this one made me smile. I love your voice. Right now Im knee deep into hip hop, but thats not usually what I strive to do. The people I surround myself with influence the direction of my music alot. I would love to do something with you if you would feel up for it.

Description : I wanted to create something similar to Celldweller's songs, but with a more upbeat vibe. :P

I created the vocals while benchmarking the vocal capabilities of various AI models: sound effects, transitions, etc. Modern AI models have already been reduced, so they won't be able to do that (I tried).

I used Audacity/OpenMPT (also audio2audio).

Description : I'm continuing the 'Unfiltered' Vol. 1 series, this is track 2.

Same as with track 1, i'm on the electric guitar/Squier Affinity series Stratocaster, drums and bass only in the beat, i kept percussion to a minimum to not distract from the guitar too much.

Made/recorded/performed in Reason 13.

Feedback is appreciated.
