Yes ,i`m stumped!
Have a listen to this.Looking for a few ideas to where to go with this compositionally/structurally.

If you hear any ideas come into your head...I`d love to hear some!!

Thanx guys.

PS: Since it`s not mastered...you don`t hear all the shit right if its not turned up fairly loud.

i kida get the idea it needs a bit of a break into something somewhat different.maybe drop it down to one synth and one out of time drum and just f**k about a bit then boom bring it all back in?

i dunno tho but its got some dirt in it

Hey Vurt.
Yeah...sounds logical.
Vurt sez;

dunno tho but its got some dirt in it

Do you mean that I should clean it?

Anyhow,I was waiting for a first reply to this thread to say this;(not wanting to bump this up)
Listening to this...I think it sounds like "funky/hip-pop"to me now.
What i`ll do is just get a rapper kid for rapping in it...and go funky/hip-pop apeshit for the rest.

Aside from this,i`ll be suprised if this gets another comment before it rolls off the page.

no cleaning necassary
i meant dirty in a nice way its just got something that makes it sound dirty hence the

Took no offence to that at all...just didn`t understand if it was good or bad for this mp3.

Glad you said hip-hop in respect to dirty.
Think it will go that route,even though I HATE hip-hop...I`ll try to do better then the average with it!

Thanx John.

if your thinkin of goin the hip hop route with this i do think it has a bit of an outkast type sound

even if you think you hate hip hop i would recommend their last album and also NERD both hip hop but not gangsta shit,kinda funky soul groove stuff thinkin modern day parliament?

That`s amazing you said that,cause I saw that asking about the outcast synths and it occured to me that this does sound somewhat like the one outcast hit I heard in some respects!
In someway but not sure how,since I only know of the big hit on tv.

I`ll look into those bands too....but after I`m done w/this...don`t want to copy.

i think its the funky quirkiness

mixed with dirt

it just has that happy go lucky sound i associate with their stuff i think

obviously you do know that soon were both going to be burned at the stake for even daring to draw a comparisson but i still stand by mine

Yep

Sounds like a good basis for a song.. But needs something upfront to come in from time to time.. I can imagine some stoned-sounding German woman doing gesprechtsangen over this

Or even just some extra melodic hooks of some kind would add a lot.

I like how organic this sounds, like Vurt.

Hey there griels!

Yeah a melody will have to come sooner or later.
I`m beginning to think of this as the chorus now,and as a chorus of a song,it`s kinda hooky now.

If only I can come up with a verse to fit this..that would be a big step.
I don`t want to use this same beat pattern on the verse,instead,i`m thinking of playing my midi drums to come up w/a new one.(more 4/4 time)
I`ll also kill the tonal res on all the kicks in this pattern except for the double kick.(it`s just tooooooo annoying!)

Thanx also for liking the earthy textural sound of it too!

That`s a great description of it I think...really somes up the sound of it!

Stumped on where to go with this...Need ideas!
