Epilogue

By Paisleyfrog on May 12, 2024 10:47 pm

Well, I was planning on using my new orchestral suite to make a track this week, but that didn't finish downloading until Friday, and wasn't fully working until Saturday. Best to leave that for another week. That, coupled with the fact that my copy of the Record Store Day Lee Perry album (which is fantastic) arrived means I'm leaning into the dub/reggae-ish tones for one more week. Using a clav for the solo instrument this time ("Cop Show clav" in Logic). "Cop show" and the one last week of this style made methinks of wrapping things up - thus, Epilogue.

What cop show was that that always titled their last scene “Epilogue”?

Thanks, glad you like them! I've had a lot of fun working in this style.

I'm excited to dig into the orchestral suite! I've been using EWQLSO for about ten years, just upgraded to Hollywood Strings. It's...a little daunting. We'll see if I can get something listenable in a week, or if it requires more research smile

When you play, we all benefit! These dub tracks are great, and I love a good clav. You're using those horns perfectly. Super jealous of your arrangements.

I mainly think of myself as a producer and songwriter, so this gives me all the warm fuzzies. Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed! His discography is huge and a little erratic, but I love his work. To me, Lee Perry and Mad Professor define dub.
