The Ceiling - Howard

18th Apr 2010 03:42 - 16 years ago
Description : This tune was written way back in 1985 on a borrowed 4-track. I used to do a lot of session work in trade for studio time and the use of home recording gear which was super expensive back then. I stored it away and didn't think about it again until 2004 when I decided to re-record it for my 2005 Cd "Bio Rhythm". This song as well as another track "Lunch with Rufus" were both written in '85 and re-worked for the 2005 (3rd instrumental) Cd. FYI: "The Ceiling" is a pilot's reference to the visible underside of a cloud covering. A day with a 10,000 ft. ceiling is a good day to fly!!!

Nice funky number - the sounds are contemporary but it definately has an 80's feel to it. good one!

If you heard the original recording from back in 85 (OMG - 20 Years Ago!) when I used a Roland JX-3P for all the keys you'd really think it had had an 80's sound! :)
I'd post it if the recording...er, rather the programming wasn't so bad...lol

Description : Name: You're Not Here (it won't let me use ' in the title)

Atmospheric liquid drum & bass meets deep house and UK garage, blending rolling breakbeats, deep sub-bass, chopped ethereal female vocals and nostalgic late-night ambience.

Description : I wanted to create something dark and romantic with an RnB and retro wave touch. This song has a retro futurism feel to it. I was inspired by The Weeknd when I was writing this song, especially his first mixtape, House Of Balloons, hence the deep roamntic analogies in the songwriting. I have sung this song myself and produced it too. No AI used here. This is an old song.
