Wanted - Dead or Alive - Bounty hunting to the sound of Funk
By Kedbreak136 on January 30, 2022 9:06 am
I had a few ideas for this week, including a mike tyson ring entry track, a soundgarden inspired rock track, a cyberfunk track (just because the word makes me laugh) but as I was watching youtube, I ended up a video that dealt with westerns and I realized that's what I needed. A western track, but in a funk way. I wanted like a funky western movie starring Morgan Freeman in the 70s, with a 70s kind of warm sound. And of course a lot of absurdity, else what would be the point?
The cowboy arrives to the town and dances his way to the saloon, looking for his bounty. Dead or alive. Instead of space cheese, this is western cheese this week!
I was torn with the final sound of the track. I have different mixes with more clarity and crispiness, but I kinda like this version that is warmer, even though it's dirty. It kinda takes me back to 70s sound I have in my head. Also, it was a good exercise trying to use brass more. And thanks to vo.codes for the voice generation.
This was also a week when I felt I was visited by sounds from the Weekly Beats past. I had kinda used that concept of a restaurant brawl back in 2020, and this funk riff is one that keeps popping into my head, and I suspect I have used it quite a lot. As long as I'm lifting from my own stuff, I guess it's alright.
