Eeking this one in at the last possible hour... I'm not sure, but I don't really feel like I'm 100% done with this song. The sax squeals I'm happy with, but the other sax is just a rip off of a riff from a remix I did, so I'll need to change that up. Also thinking about some faster "free jazz" sax parts. I also didn't have anything in mind when I started this week's track, I just started programming and went from there.
For this song I used the following:
-DM - The Drum Machine
- Logic Pro (DAW/various effects)
- Alto Saxophone
*No movie sample this week, but the final version of this track may have one in the mix.
For week five I had originally planned on going back to the aggressive noisier side of this project, but never quite got as noisy as I had intended. For reference, I've been simultaneously producing the new EP for my other project Kylmyys and I think some of that influence leaked back over into what I'm doing for Weekly Music. Not in a bad way of course, just not the vibe I had originally planned on creating. Overall I'm pretty happy with how this song came out. Not sure if it's going to fit on one of my intended upcoming EPs or maybe for a compilation.
For this song I used the following:
- DM - The Drum Machine
- Logic Pro (DAW/various VSTs)
- Alto Saxophone
Can you guess which film this week's sample is from?
For week three I went back to the more aggressive, noisy sounds of the first week. In fact, I believe it will be my intention to alternate between "nasty" and "nice" sounds for the first few months of this challenge. I've been listening to a lot of early music from The Bug lately and I think that it had a bit of influence on where I went with this song.
For this song I used the following:
- DM1 - The Drum Machine
- Various Logic Pro VSTs
- Bass Guitar (with bass POD)
- Drone Thing
- Alto Sax
As with my previous entries, I challenge you to place what movie my samples are from. Can you guess it?
My first completed song for any project on my new computer. I'm still getting use to using Logic, but overall I'm finding it a great DAW. I was using Acid Pro 4 on PC for most of my music career, so it's taking some time to get adjusted to the new operating system as well as the new DAW.
For my first entry I ended up not really following the theme that I threw out there (winter/cold), but rather went with familiar ground, that being gritty beats and saxophone. I haven't played my sax in the past three weeks due to a bad cold/sinus infection, so it felt good to be back playing again (even if it wasn't my best performance).
This song was made using the following:
- DM1 - The Drum Machine
- Various Logic Pro VSTs
- Drone Thing
- Alto Saxophone
Next week I'll incorporate the theme somehow into my beat. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy.
