Don't Let Go

By Martiln on March 11, 2016 2:14 am

Had a bit of trouble this week, started 3 or so times before I managed to find something I was happy with. I just found a pretty cool vocal sample and used that as the basis for the track. Apologies if the mix/master is a little off (time constraints). Hope you guys enjoy!

This is sweet, man. I'm hearing some Metome influence perhaps? Lovely stuff. Those rock-anthem chords presented in an almost jazz-fusion kinda way, nice. Did you ever get into the jazz-fusion that was so hip in the late 90s and early 00s? PlanetX and such?

Thanks Vince, glad you liked it! Definitely some Metome influence in there, as well as a whole bunch of other stuff. I am a jazz-fusion fan (although I don't find myself listening to a whole lot), but think I kind of skipped that era. Will check it out! smile

Very tight.  I like the change after the intro... very smooth.

wish you could see me dancing in my chair right now.  great manipulation of the vocal!!  nice surprise rhythms in those big chord blasts.
