Dank je wel! Waar is NVT? ;)

Thanks a lot Wayne! The guitar has a mini-wah, but I then added a wah effect in Ableton to make it a bit stronger.

And Manuela remastered it and made everything better... :)

Thanks a lot Paul! Give it another listen... Manuela made it even more pumping!

Thanks man :)
I'll make a fresh export of the stems and send them to you!

Haha yes, I thought about this. It can probably take either another chorus or maybe some giant finale with brass and screaming guitars etc.

Or maybe a fade to just bass and drums :)

I certainly was and I hope that now, so are you :)

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?

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!

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!

Thank you Paul!
I made the opposite journey from yours - I used to simply open a blank Ableton and grab a guitar, but more and more I try to create a structure, start with sort of a goal in mind. It doesn't always work but often I feel it helps to challenge me.
I guess it always helps to do the opposite of whatever you do naturally ;)
Thanks for listening and commenting Paul!

Thank you very much!
