part two of riding a train

Didn't have a lot of time this week to work on anything, but I did manage to bust this out today. Far from finished. I'd like to add scratching and saxing to this song. What do you think?

*No samples (yet).

Theme notes to come


Not sure when I started actually. It's 10:45 now and I probably spent an hour on this song already laying down parts and getting guitar tones right.

I think I stopped around 12:15, but I'm not clear. So maybe 2.5 to 3 hours? There are some messy parts that I've marked as "FIX" in my project file - the intro for example and the chorus needs work, as well as some of the verses that aren't quite the same section to section.

I think I might do some work next week and add lyrics.

A submission for Weekly Music 2017 31

Capping a couple of weeks of illnesses with some indie mope-rock. I'd started with something else entirely, but the B section (rhythm) baritone guitar line popped up, and the rest followed. Only MIDI instrument is a drum rack of dry funk single-hits with a lot of auto-filter and M4L Humanizer (automated, so that it's sloppier on the slow sections, but tighter on the faster ones). Danelectro baritone (left channel) through auto-filter and cabinet plugins, Res-O-Glas (right channel) through glue compressor, auto-filter, auto-pan tremolo, and cabinet plugin, Res-O-Glas (slow auto-pan) through Reuss RF-01 Repeater Fuzz and Vox Wah, Epiphone bass through EQ-8, side chain compressor, and cabinet plugin. Everything through full-chain master.

(Post-upload, I tweaked the mix and re-uploaded.)

Just a quick thing... not really a song.
