Solo Tunes, Tracks & Mixes

Description : Chillout, funky fat 95 BPM organic electro led by some fun, tinkly arps. A bit of an organic, tribal feel, especially when the flutes are playing, and some fat smooth synth basses, plus a big fuzzy one later on as the track gets bigger and heavier. Slide resonator guitar in the second half, including a dual slide resonator solo (2 different resonators playing simultaneously sort of duelling with each other). A few drum loops but mostly 3 programmed acoustic kits. The heavy, double time drumming before the flutes return around 3:53 may be a bit unnecessary (I'm not sure, let me know). Interesting reflections, praise, suggestions and criticisms welcome and appreciated. "Nice track bro"-ers can save that unhelpful type of comment for another track (or 50). I hope listening to this transports you to a magical place, even if it is for only a few minutes...

Description : When I started producing about 3 years ago, I was sure I would need a master keyboard to play everything I needed in my tracks. But as thing happen, I never hooked it up and just used my DAW and mouse to create the tunes. In a "crazy" mood last week, I did hook up the master keyboard and something like a solo came up. I recorded it, put some chords and drums around it and a new track was born.

Thanks for listening!

Best, Doc

Description : This track is based on the Randy Crawford "Chill Night Mix" and features the amazing talent that is Pauline Wright - a wonderful vocalist.

All done in Logic X with Superior Drummer for the kit and most other patches coming from Logic. My cheap and cheerful Strat copy for the solo and I even get in on the backing vocals in the middle section.

Hope you enjoy it and as always comments very welcome.

Description : 'Grinnin' In Your Face' is my second track featuring the voice of Son House (1902-1988). Just as 'John The Revelator' this re-mix was inspired by watching the rockumentary 'It Might Get Loud' with Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White. The pivotal moment comes when Jack White plays his favorite a capella track by Son House (www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTlSka5iqPY). This made a big impression on me. I wondered how House's incredible voice would sound when transposed to a housebeat. Thus unusual combo of two genres (blues/gospel and house) worked out fine, I think, in 'John The Revelator'. For the new track I sought a hard edge approach. Instead of the lyrical sax by STAX, I used electric guitars for solo and rythmic elements, going for the very rough sound Jack White demonstrates in the rockumentary by playing, slightly out of key, one-string slide-guitar. 'Grinnin' In Your Face' is part of a Son House Project I'm working on, paying hommage to the old blues in a new musical environment.

Description : The idea to do something with the powerful voice of Delta blues musician Son House (1902-1988) came after I watched the documentary ‘It Might Get Loud’. Jack White (The White Stripes) played a record called ‘People grinning in your face’ by Son House. An a cappella song with handclapping; ’one man against the world’. You can find this magnificent fragment of the documentary on YouTube. Please watch it. Be awed. After that I listened to a lot of a cappella by Son House and was overwhelmed by ‘John the Revelator’. Even if you are not religious (like me) or familiar with the Bible (I am), this traditional gospel blues in a call and response-style is everything the blues is about. I realised it was almost ‘sacrilegious’ to put a drumbeat under this vocal track, but it gave me goosebumps the first time I tried it. So I composed a dramatic housetrack together with STAX (Hans Clevers) on sax. I took almost a month or two to split the original voicetrack in enough pieces to re-align them with the basic beat without losing the original feel. Where possible, I eliminated the handclapping because it was mostly out of sync. After I got the basetrack right, STAX played his solo. Afterward the grand piano, choirs and strings where added plus the noise-percussion. The project and mixing took approx. five months.
‘John The Revelator’ (this is from Wikipedia) has been called ‘one of the most powerful songs in all of pre-war acoustic music ... [which] has been hugely influential to blues performers’. The song's title refers to the Apostle John as the author of the Book of Revelation. A portion of that book focuses on the opening of seven seals and the resulting apocalyptic events. In its various versions, the song quotes several passages from the Bible in the tradition of American spirituals. Son House recorded several a cappella versions of this song in the 1960s. His lyrics for a 1965 recording explicitly reference three theologically important events: the Fall Of Man, The Passion of the Christ and Resurrection. This is the version used here.

Description : Got further into the song finally and mixed it down a little more solid. currently working on it solo now. the only thing it lacks is the ending breakdown right after the build up. Currently no vocalist at the time and is taking me longer to finish it since im going to school and working graveyards. i'll make a 3rd post once its finished. i hope you all enjoy it. please feel free to give me constructive criticism.

Description : This track started as an easy listening lounge kind of track. When I put in JJ Weekz's vocals, it turned into another direction. Next to JJ Weekz, I used vocals of Shamoozey and a flute solo by Mhyst. Thanks to you all for this!

I am not sure if the vocals go together very well, but I liked the atmosphere of the combination. I received feedback on the drums, they could be spiced a bit from the second part of the track on. Let me know your thoughts, I'm very willing to learn.

Best, Doc

Description : Here is a song that I dug up out of the archives ! The only reason that I posted it is because there is a ripping guitar solo in it that I improvised and nailed it on my first take. That does not happen often. LOL. The mix is not my best work but I hope you enjoy it. All was made by me.

Description : I downloaded the original acapella and started putting a track together. I thought some additional vocals might work well so I asked if it was possible to have some "oooohs and aaaaahs". What arrived brought me to tears and once again demonstrates the immense talent that is Patricia Edwards. Thank you so much.

The track contains an upgrade to Superior Drummer, the trusty Ovation Celebrity, EZkeys doing the piano part and the Godin Xtsa with a patch from Logic for the solo. The strings, choir and additional percussion also from Logic.

Hope you enjoy it and as always comments always welcome.

Description : This is a track by SBM, who was kind enough to let me mess around with it. I added some Drums, guitar (rythm and lead) and bass. I had to put a little solo right in the middle, because the theme and chord prog. SBM made just told me to. Hope I do right by you SBM :-)

Downloads will be enabled as soon SBM says ok...

Description : This track is heavily inspired by the the French noir movie Le Samourai (1967, Jean-Pierre Melville) starring Alain Delon as a lone wolf gun for hire in Paris. I wanted a melancholic, moody, big city-ambience, referring tot the solitude of the main character in the film. I could not get the track right untill I found the saxophone-solo's by Italian jazzplayer Sandro Marinoni who gave me permission to embed his fenomenal melodies in a rythmic, multi-layered structure. I am very grateful to Sandro and I expect to collaborate more often with him in 2013. The voice you hear in the beginning of the track is Alain Delon, citing (in an interview for French televison at the time of the premiere) the Book of Bushido, the code of honor for the Samourai. The English translation is: There is no greater solitude than that of the samourai unless it is that of the tiger in the jungle... Perhaps.
