Another quick song thrown together in a collection of minutes here and there over the last week! Kinda went for a western feel on this one. A friend lent me an OG Korg Kaossillator to play with and I used it for the trumpet part in the middle part. It's very hard to control and play precisely but lots of fun!

42 feels pretty close to 52 folks!

that was great, Peter! i especially enjoyed that Kaos'd trumpet section  big_smile

the beginning reminds me of a super sped up bon jovi livin on a prayer. The trumpet part feels jazzy AF. Nice work!

Oh man, this is great....love that jazzy trumpet break and the western feel. Like electronic Morricone with a dash of Cowboy Bebop. Awesome!

42 is soooo close to 52... We're so so close!!!
Awesome energy in this one, damn!!! That constant bassline combined with the arpeggiating synth is VERY fun and effective.
Amazing trumpet solo at 1:08, too! Hahahahahahaha... The horn/saw wave melody throughout is also super fun!
Great job!!!

Cool Western soundtrack with techno rumble.

Many thanks! Yeah, trumpet is my favourite part too. I tapped that trumpet sound on my next song too.

Oh, I hear that Bon Jovi too now that you point it out! Thanks! For some reason, that trumpet patch really does it for me.

Thanks! Any comparison to Morricone is a real compliment!

Thanks man! Yeah, time is ticking down. It makes me want to up my game for the last few weeks. I hope I can make a bit more time to work on music over the next couple months. You will hear some more jazzy trumpet again in my next song ... I really love that patch! wink

Thanks! I actually started with the bass line on this one and tried to make the other parts work with it. An somehow I ended up with a techno-western!? The world works in mysterious ways.
