BROKEN STRNGS

Late and quick one this week, but super happy with it. Got some good bounce.

Borrowed a friend's cello a last week, and recorded a few minutes of me abusing it, and sliced it up, the applied the usual recipe. I think I'll be using that sample a LOT. Cello is fucking mad.

love the arpeggiated cello riff, good plucking

this a banger

Oh dang, this sounds so cool! Awesome combo of the analog cello with the bass and glitchy sounds, this rules! Super up my alley. Not to mention it feels ripe for some rhymes on top of it. Almost feels like some old-school Boom-bap stuff at times! Great work!!!

This slaps as much as you slapped that cello. Very smooth.

Yeah, those cello textures are super cool, well done. Nice punchy beat.

Very groovy. Not unlike most of your tracks.

analogue instruments bring such textural richness. this is solid af. head nods.

The cello has indeed gone thoroughly crazy. Drums are nice too. Might have been cool with a tighter / crisper hat. Hearing it in my head with a flanger and filter automation on it. Heat.

This rules! Cello straight up gangsta. Reminds me a little of bits of Soul Coughing - they had an upright bass player - badass.

oooh cello - fun

Thanks y'all! Really feeling the love here.

I think I might have found a bit of niche that I'm really comfortable with with those few instruments I've been using lately - Cello, lyre harp and shakuhachi. They all work really well together, and hit hard when combined with some synth bass. Very fun.
