You Turn Me On

By AdrienLarouzee on April 14, 2024 6:35 pm

BACK TO SAMPLING! It feels so good to get back to it after years turning my back to digging and looping. I'm pretty sure there will be more in the upcoming week smile
You'll definitely can tell i lost touch because i'm struggling to choose between too many good bits of the original song... I think it would benefit to stick to fewer phrases.

Every samples cleared through Tracklib.

Lovely stuff. Love the little clicky percussion throughout, and the dissonance with the vocals.

Ah man, I'm not the one to talk to here, I never think about harmony in my own music. Something sounds harmonically weird to me, but in a good way - just not very classic western major/minor key. Moth Equals (and lots of instrumental hip-hop) does this a lot, and it often sounds amazing because it's different. IMO you can't get harmony right or wrong, you can just make music that you like or don't like, and I like this.

Welcome back to sampling; what a great track!  I'm with naught101; the slight dissonances in parts make it pop, imo. 

Using tracklib is such a good idea—the audio and performance quality here is fantastic.  I just spent a week digging through and cleaning up crappy public domain film/audio and nothing available comes close (unless you're only going for ironic kitschy quotes or the sound of 1923-era shellac).

Definitely looking forward to your tracks in the weeks to come.

Wow this is groovy. Love it!

🙏 It's quite new for me, but yes, it's like an easiest way to dig, without removing the pleasure to feel like you found an hidden gem. Really good balance smile
