Shadow Cabal

By Cakes on May 3, 2026 3:06 pm

I finessed the MPC thing I abandoned last week into a better place for week 18. It's still very mid. Just gotta keep things moving for week 18.

I bounced the samples from the 8 bar MPC loop to Logic, sequenced, EQ'd, added reverbs + compression there. I also added one little four note lick from Zenology to hopefully add some additional interest. I have trouble manipulating vocals so I fell back on condensing a sampled public domain diatribe into a much smaller clip than originally intended.

An excellent laid back groove that had me nodding along with the drums and slick bass.  Those verby pads sound extra nice floating over the drums and vocal sample.  Nice work!

Sick groove. Feels like it should have some PBS space documentary vhs going behind it.
