In Spite (Rock or something)[Themed]
​
So I just finished reading David Byrne's How Music Works and was inspired by his work with the Bernie Worrell/Adrian Belew version of Talking heads. In the book, Byrne talks about the power of building the band's songs around a central repeating theme and usiing non traditional percussion to enhance the sound of a former post punk band. The ultimate manifestation of this formula is the concert movie Stop Making Sense - which I think is must viewing for any musician.
​
I first built the main riff and the solo about 10 days ago mainly as an exercise in creating a backing track to jam to but then left it to work on other stuff.
​
When I saw the theme today I wrote the lyrics and constructed the chorus sections. The song is about someone who hangs onto a 'nightlife' lifestyle too long.
​
the main part of the beat is created by combining a trip hop sample loop with bongos and the Logic Drummer Jesse.
​
What resulted is a the mutant love child of Some Girls era Stones, Santana and ????
​
Anyway - I really liked the way the bass riff just builds tension thru the song. And I highly recommend that book for anyone that is interested in hearing one of music's true pioneers explain his philosophy of music.
Thanks for checking it out!
Haha I would, but it's on kindle. This is the one : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008Y0XH1C/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
I was browsing some old posts from here and someone had posted about a coursera lyric writing course about a year ago - it's by the same guy, and the first lesson mentioned it pretty much follows this book. So I thought it'd be a good way to pass time on a long haul flight!
Love the richness and depth of your voice. Elegant, unique, soulful. That's what I'm talkin' bout'!
The rest of it can be improved over time. I highly suggest you budget for a pop filter.
I have this one: Auphonix 6-Inch Microphone Pop Filter, but there are cheaper options.
Depending on the kind of computer and software you have, you can start learning how to compose your own beats, even using your own samples.
The possibilities are endless!
Hey I got the same thing! Kinda. Same body, different brand -- Pyle PTED01. I've just used it for a couple songs so far. Hope you get the latency worked out.
I dig the nah nahs and the vocal harmony. All around good song.
I'm still not 100% clear on self promotion rules here so please take this down if it's breaking any of them. I wrote all these songs for this challenge in 2015 and 2016, took some time off last year, and then redid all of them more intentionally in the second half of 2017.
I honestly don't think I ever would have made something like this without joining this sub. You guys rock.
Here's a couple places you can find it if you don't have Spotify:
Youtube
Amazon
It's supposed to be in Google Play/Apple Music but I don't have either of those
Thanks!
The little red box is a Gakken SX-150 Mark II. In this song I added a blur effect and a delay to make it more dreamy. Last year I made a song where I added a pitch-correction plugin in order to keep the notes in a given scale.
I always like your stuff. I would not have noticed the Tennyson line, but I that it was there and that you mentioned it. I've got "Steal like an artist" on my nightstand and really need to read it.

It's like... one cheap microphone stuck in front of my amp? These are the microphones I have, and I really only use the diaphragm mic (mostly out of laziness and the fact that I only have one input on my preamp). But yeah, I just position the mic somewhere around the edge of the speaker cone and that's about it. Nothing special!
