Basis

Another try at the DnB genre! This is one of those projects I started at the beginning of the school year and told myself to forget about. Finally got those vocal samples added, and spruced it up so that it's decent, I hope.

The guitar sample is actually just that five-note pattern over an eight-bar loop on two different tracks: one track is pitch shifted a whole step above the other, giving me six manipulable pitches. A restriction I placed myself under while screwing with the guitar parts.

So, yeah, enjoy!

Lyrics:

I just wanna be inspired again-
Is it really all that hard to believe?
Now it's gettin' really hard to pretend
Like I'm givin' all that I can receive!

Not a trace of emotion to be found,
And the truth is that I need you right now!

I just wanna be inspired again-
Is it really all that hard to perceive?
But my heart is telling me to depend
On the basis that I only believe!

oh hell yes.

Oooh, this is rad. Guitar samples work really well and the vocal cut-ups are poyfect.

I dig this. A lot. I think balancing the vocals a bit with the levels of the music would work better. Sorta hard to hear the words.

nice work
