I thought that I would post this song as it follows on from the excellent recent post from
@Binladeda about using loops and samples. I decided to write something using two loops as a starting point. The process was as follows :-
1. Selected a couple of loops from the vast Loopmasters catalogue
2. Standardised the BPM and key
3. Chopped up the loops slightly (I adjusted some of the chords in one so that it blended more with the second loop)
4. Complimented the loops with some midi chords
5. Added some midi brass and strings as the chorus had a kind of seventies soul feel
6. Played some "real" bass guitar and "real" guitar
7. Did vocs and BV's
A really interesting experiment and an illustration of how loops can be part of the songwriters toolkit
Cheers
John
Hollow Eyes
You're looks are sponsored by amphetamines
That magic powder makes you run around
Until you – Stumble to the ground
And now you're tranquillised by ketamine
You feel so numb that you can't move an inch
Tongue is stuck, can't even speak
When I see you it makes me break down and cry
You just stare back at me with your ghostly hollow eyes
And then you moved on to some heroin
The line stuck in you vein
You null the pain then -
You do it all again
When I see you it makes me break down and cry
You just stare back at me with your ghostly hollow eyes
When I see you it makes me break down and cry
You just stare back at me with your ghostly hollow eyes
