Buy this car

By J Sangha on May 15, 2022 11:41 pm

Wanted to make a car commercial song.  Imagined the concept of a video in my head, and composed something to go with it. 

That’s a cool idea/theme for making a track, imagine a sports coupe driving in the night along a beach, neon lights and the moon reflecting off the pristine paint job, finishes with the camera panning out to the sunrise.  Very smooth tune, really like the vocals that come in at the end, we definitely have to collaborate soon so you can do some of those dope vocals for me

I will buy the car! I especially like the vocal ambiance toward the end. Very good use of the lowpass filtering and white noise foley fx. Stunning work

Car commercials both kind of ruined The Crystal Method for me but also gotten way cooler as a side effect. Very much a slow-motion / "advertise every computerized gadget in the dashboard" type beat. I'm really partial to all the intro ambience / layering (and that bass!) but my favorite moment I think is the transition right before the beat.

Oh, and the ending is FIRE.

Thanks J!  Maybe this weekend.

Thank you!  I use izotope trash for my filters.

Thanks!  Definitely inspired by you with the ambience

Great “auto tune” smile   This would work nicely in a car commercial!

the first minute is so good to my ears

the filtered drums with the bass locked in, against the airy pads contrast, such a cool groove.  not where the rest of the tune went, but it would have been sweet if it did...

Thank you.  Was making this for a client so didn’t have that much freedom.

This is no less a car commercial than an epic celebration of the ferocity of the human spirit! Yes! I will join your army, and am honored to die for the cause! (wait... no sorry... i forgot.. it was just for a car commercial... yes, will buy the car, too big_smile)

I love this!! Doesn't sound like car commercial to me, just awesomeness!

Thanks, honestly shocked by all of the positive comments to this song.  I thought this was my weakest outing.  Lots of things I’m fixing on this one.
