I meant to add zajo (from freesound) he provided the great beat for the track :) I’m glad you liked it. I haven’t played bass in a long time so my riffs are a little loose but I think it worked :) Thanks as always for the encouraging words!
Cheers!

that would be an understatement

Ok my riffs were a lot loose ;-)
Cheers!

oops, sorry, misleading quote (2 reference points), ‘it worked’ is the understatement, as it worked very well

Hehe :-) I had a feeling thats what you meant :-) That compliment means a lot coming from a master-constructor/deconstructor of sound. This song sort of lead me to building the bass first. What sample or section of a mix do you start with?
Cheers!

the idea comes as a mix readily laid out in my head.
being very much into drums/percussion i usually start the realisation with those - the thing is i don’t really play an instrument, at least not a real one, so it’s all midi construction.
then bass line or melody elements, no particular order there. i rarely start with the samples i use.
i end up with something that more or less (usually less) resembles the initial idea, often using samples i didn’t think of when i started. i suppose that’s the beauty and power of creation.

Very interesting. I often hear ‘parts’ but not the whole although I usually have a very clear feeling that I want to get across. I just love the creative process! Anyways here’s to a billion different ways to creating a billion beautiful musical moments!
Cheers!

That should make Kara and crew happy :-) Team Smile and Nod 24/7!! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I recently started mixing again so I think I am ‘reset’ to simplicity. I usually don’t do much in the way of guitar tone but I really had fun with this one :-) Anyway have a great one!
Cheers!

This beauty of a song had a great sense of style and when that is the case I just try not stand in the way :-) I’m glad it allowed you to groove. My young son can’t stop running around the house screaming “YEAH!!”. If we could all be so :-)
Cheers!

Thanks! I think it is the only necessary and sometimes the most elusive part of a track… the groove. It’s too bad there isn’t a groove button on my music making machine… I guess that would take the fun out of it anyway :-)
Cheers!

For a long time in my life I did most of my musical musings between 1-5am. I guess it’s ‘home’ for me :-) that reminds me I was going to upload a very mellow track that I wrote sometime ago called ‘Hurtling Yourself Toward the Dawn’. Thank you for the kind words and always for the poignant imagery!
Cheers!

Thanks!
Cheers!

I didn’t do much to the ‘la la la’s I thought they were what really make the original pell… well… sing!
Thanks for the encouragement!
Cheers!
