I have a few posts about some production subjects in the works but I've been more in a music making mood lately rather than in a blog writing mood. A good thing obviously as this blog is just a side product and not necessarily all that important. It's just a document of the journey, not the journey itself.
As a result of some precious DAW time I have a new track for you.
This time I was aiming for something quite specific. I wanted to create a bona fide club banger. A cheeky (used without permission, so I'll probably get into trouble) sample everyone's gonna recognize. A bit of acid. A catchy chord riff (it's intentionally a bit off-beat, though I'm not sure yet if I like that effect or not) that seems to build and build, without anything actually happening.Simple but effective drums. High-pitched strings to create a bit of tension. It has it all, basically!
Intentionally trying to make a hit is something that usually doesn't work though. They easily come out as too cheesy, too obvious, too contrived. While I like this track now, I might hate it next week. It's hard to be objective about your own music, particularly just a moment after you've finished it.
Anyways, here's the latest track. A bit of a sidestep, as I'm not sure it's anywhere near something Kerri might want to play in his sets. Might be good, might be bad, might be mediocre, you be the judge.
