78BPM car cassette night river parking sunset 1

Hi! You may not know me, but I'm back.

I started out with this two-bar loop (the progression for bars three & four was brought in as the bassline): "Sunset Night" Original piano loop.

Then, I isolated just those five upper chords and bent from one to the next. Chopped it up manually, quantized to the nearest 64th, then imported & resynthesized each chop in Synplant. Here is the dry audio from Synplant, in case you need it: "Sunset Night" piano.

After I got all 16 bars of that, I put these drums in there to discover the working pulse-schema. Which seemed like an appropriate stopping point to upload to WeeklyBeats. From here I will try to flip this composition into a hip hop beat.

this is weird and I like it!

i can imagine a parking brake failing and a car slowly rolling into that river at sunset lol

The original sample is unrecognizable (that's good in my books)!
The rhythm Is so funky, I'd totally be down to hearing someone rap over this.

I know you listed your tune as CC0, but asking anyway.
Would you mind if we put the "Sunset Night" piano to our friendly sample challenge?
This week (#27), we're gathering sounds, next week (#28, beginning July 13th), we'll let people use any sample they want to make a track.
WDYT?
Thanks!

Here's what we have so far:

Go for it, and thanks for asking! I've added the tempo to the filename for convenience. - Sunset night piano_78BPM.wav

Hopefully this isn't too prescriptivist, but since I've done more work on this beat since posting; here are further developments that are also free *Shrug emoji*:

Awesome, thanks!! 🙏
I've went and added the two piano (orig and mangled), three drums and ukulele tracks to the drive.
Didn't find you on the WB discord, but know that I've thanked you there and shout out to your track.

Have a terrific week 27!
Hope that week 28 will bring a few track using your killer samples.

Note: your first link points to our drive, you might have copy/paste the wrong one, so I went for the file in your description. Cheers.

Welcome back, I've been missing your interesting sound experiments!
