A fado on KVR? What the f***?

[Ja.x]

And now something different:

I made this track some time ago: I was trying (not much successfuly) to emulate the guitar playing style of Vini Reilly (Durutti Column) with a VSTi, VSTfx, etc. (I think it was String Theory with Big Tick's Dual Delay), and decided to add a bass (VB-1) and a cello (Cellofan). Then I listened to it several times, and...

Holy shit !!! It's a Fado!. I always hated Fado, but I think blood speaks louder

Electric Fado

Enjoy it, if you can

[scuzzphut]

do you mean fado as in Portuguese folk music?

[Ja.x]

Yep, that's what I mean

the sound of Vini Reilly is close,
just this sounds distorted <sigh>,is the mp3 fault?

the fado melody is nice, but the long delay repetition makes the harmony messy IMHO,
or some bass notes is wrong harmonically?

the overall composition is nice for a Vini Reilly fan, just clean it up, both as sound and harmony,

No, I don't think the distortion is the .mp3 fault (maybe I added too much reverb) and very likely there's a harmonic fault here and there. This track was an experiment (a very sloppy one) and was never meant to be shown; I posted it because I was so surprised myself with something I found unusual face to my 'normal' production.

It's nice you haven't spared some (fair enough) criticisms . Thanks a lot.

sometimes very good things happen by chance,
I would keep that nice melody, <grin>

I was considering to discard this track before I decided to post it. Maybe I'll brush it up a bit after all Ditch the second guitar and cut the reverb, for example, will turn it a bit less messy. Just maybe And I'll have to accept the fact that I'll never play like Vini Reilly
