Liner Notes

This started as an experiment with recording guitar riffs and chords, chopping them into a drum rack in Live, and then playing them from a Push. Some of it can be heard from 0.35. Not superpleased with the end result but I learned a lot and it was fun to make!

I'm pretty pleased with the result. You had me bopping along with you the whole way. There are so many tasty bits. I love how the guitars and percussion weave together. Cool keys, too. What else to say: I was into it!

@itneverhappened 3d

Getting people to bop along is all I can ask for, And taste from the tasty bits. Really glad you liked it, thanks!

mate, nice build and then it grooves even harder from 2mins onwards - that bubbly synth line kinda reminds of the band ratatat. bravo!!

@itneverhappened 6d

I only know one ratatat song, which is great, so good reference point. Thanks, great to see you here!

The groove is amazing. Are you entering the dance music arena? I love playing with samples - it’s just a shame I’m not very good at it! This could be a club hit with a little more work. Would potentially sound awesome with some 60’s or 70’s diva vocal samples.

I don't know if it's that danceable.. I don't know what it is at all really! Hope to finish a much more clubby thing that I'm working on, probably towards the end of FAWM. But yes I'm becoming a little more interested in groove and such things.

Nicely experimented: I like how bass pushes and drags, sometimes tight to the beat, sometimes held back (I can't fathom it ... but I like it!). I like the portamento swoopiness. Love the liveliness of the ride cymbal. Little things!

I worked quite a bit with chopping and nudging those pieces of bass (too much for a track I didn't really like) but glad someone noticed!

@fuzzy 1w

Love that reversed(?) bass right off the bat. Nice laid-back guitar work. Pretty chill tune despite the active percussion. Whoa, then the robot vocals at about 1:50! Haha that wiggly synth! Nicely done!

@itneverhappened 1w

Yes, the old reversed bass! Ha, robot vocals was actually a good idea, might replace the synth there with some vocoder stuff, would fit the track well. Thanks!
