Cow Tools - The Best!

By Cow Tools on July 27, 2024 10:56 am

I wanted to see if I could make a song in an hour (almost, this took about 90 min, from record to upload) and I wanted something with drums.  So I sat down and did some improv-drumming.  One take, just playing whatever.  Then I plugged in a bass guitar and did more experimental improv.
  Then I took a mic into the other room, and asked my partner to talk about her favorite things.  I asked her questions without ever letting her hear the song, then took her answers and put them over the music.  So, there ya go.

This is fun and raw.  I like that you got her to talk about her favorite things, as it gives this a positive and joyful vibe.

Thanks!  I just wanted to make a fun, experimental track, not think too much about it.  Did the whole thing in a little over an hour... 

Yup. This is a lot of unpolished fun. It's just so happy.

This is pure joy. You really tackled the loose DIY vibes and channelled them into something super engaging

Thank you!  I just wanted to sit down and jam something out!

Noodles asian style is pretty nice.

The BEST!

Ha this is cool, made me think of a place I love! I visited New Mexico over twenty years ago and loved it, and moved there in 2020 just before COVID. I lived in Albuquerque over a year. But had to move because COVID was just so weird. Oh and now you mentioned Chicago! I went to college there and then lived there over twenty years! Anyways this was a fun song:) thank you for the voyage

I lived in Chicago for 10 years, and have now lived in New Mexico for 12!  So, you're welcome for the voyage, it's a reflection of my voyage!

Thank you again!  I'll tell her you say hello!  And yeah, the drumming was fun.  Like I said, just a one-take improv.  But I love heavy-tom drumming it's really fun!
