BaoBou

Thanks you so much my dear!

Thanks so much mate. Humbled by your words!

Thanks a lot Micky!

It's funny, this track is quite different from what I usually make... and it's doing better than most trakcs I usually make :D

It's now remastered and should be out on streaming soon!

Thanks a lot Aleksandr! It was a bit new sound, I'm happy at how it came out... and even happier with the remastered version now!

Thanks very much Steve :)
Happy wih this one, it's now remastered!

Yessir! If you hear a bass or guitar it's mine, generally keys or midi instruments will be mine, and if the drums sound sh!t they're also mine. If they sound good it might be a sample, as in this track ;)
The samples I used are one humming sound in the background, and a sort of scream/cry~ish sound you hear in the beginning and the end. The terrible vocals are mine ;)

Dank je! Ja ik wou aan het eind dat gevoel geven van als je half slaapdronken wakker wordt en je weet eigenlijk niet goed wat er gebeurd is. Was het echt? Of een droom?

Hey, sorry I missed this!
The track is now remastered and I think it has a bit more punch now :)

It's funny, I've been experimenting with new stuff for the past weeks but most of it still ended up very close to home... but this one happened more or less by accident and the result is I think really different and exciting.
My next track will probably be just more funky guitars but it's cool to have this voice too.

Thanks Atilla, that's fantastic to hear! :)

Haha yes, that's what I meant. Again, awesome job on the Halloween track, I really like it!

Thank you my friend! That makes ne very happy - I hope you recognise you may have influenced me a bit here ;)

Thanks so much Mark! Yeah I'm not done yet with this one, but I have 4-5 more that need my attention, so I had to kick this one out and make some space in my mind. Some of the vocals aren't quite where I want them, and I want to play with the ending.

In general I'm experimenting and trying to get outside my tried and tested guitar/bass/piano/drums/vocals template and discovering some pretty interesting places, I feel. And that also leads to different lyrics.

I'm definitely having fun, and that's all that matters :)

It's mostly mine, but recently I've been adding some samples. Generally whatever guitar/bass/keys/drums you hear are mine.

In this case I played the drums through my midi keyboard btw :D but generally I try to use my electronic drumset.

Yeah we do right? And with our ADD/ADHD and procrastinating, working on a new track to postpone fixing old problems is sometimes just what we needed to create something good.

Btw here's the more polished version:

Thanks a lot Micky! I love Edwyn Collins... his "Never had a girl like you" is one of my all-time favourites!

Yep, all mine, vocals/guitar/bass/keys/percussion; only for the beat I used a standard Ableton midi, then overlaid it with various samples.

I love Men At Work, so that's a super comparison! thank you so much!

Haha the category jungle is a joke of course. It's not what most people would refer to as "jungle", it's just the main theme in the creation on this track ;)
In general I think categories are stupid. Anything that falls in one particular category is usually not that interesting; and you can never make categories either granular or generic enough to make it work.

In the end you make CincoCent music and I make BaoBou music. I can tell people a category but I usually say it's as if Eric Clapton joined Steely Dan (on a bad day) and them people know ;)

Thanks for listening and commenting!!

Thanks very much Steve, high praise indeed!!

Thank you man!

Thanks so much Micky! Btw I really loved the Collab with Startravels and JynxZ!! Excellent stuff.

thanks a lot man :) I'm making a video for it with loads of birds, monkeys and snakes... but the snakes and tigers are of course also metaphorical in this song, and those are less fun, sometimes.

Thanks for listening, as always!

Thanks Kaaman!
Yes, the singing was shy... I was recording it late at night and didn't want to wake everyone up. The original idea was to re-record the vocals, but in the end I liked most of them. You say shy, I say intimate ;)
Here's the final version:

Final for now anyway, if this makes it to the next album it'll get a complete do-over ;)

Thanks a lot! Much appreciated!
