Ugh, not much time this week. Working overtime and ran out time.
This week I wanted to try something different. When sampling, I usually try to get a pretty smooth sound--looping bars of a song and layering different sounds over it to create something. I wanted to try working with smaller snippets of sound, and limit myself to a single source.
I sampled the first 16 seconds and then 16 seconds from later in this track:

I sliced everything into individual hits--bass notes, kicks and snares, flutes, rhodes--and re-sequenced everything. This was a pretty different way of working for me, but it was quite fun. I'll certainly try this in the future.
I wish it had some wavy synth and some vocal samples, but since I was limiting myself to one sample source, I didn't have access to anything that was satisfactory. Though, I guess I could have turned a snippet into a single-cycle waveform and created a synth sound that way. But, ran out of time.

Really digging that groove.
Nice, feeling some distant Kerrier District vibes on this. Interesting little challenge, cool new take on parts from an existing song. That heavy breathing kick-snare could've maybe used a bit of a faster decay, gets a little tiresome to listen to the entire track
oooo super groovy, love this!
I'm fond of the fun and funky flute and have faith that further fantastic flute inclusion would be fresh.
Like that wha wha filter effect. Flutes and guitar samples give it a solid 70s vibe. The groove is totally locked in!
Nailed the groovinees! Sounds like something Earth, Wind, and Fire would hop on.
Oh yes. Too funky.
you definitely locked in the groove! nice sample chops. it's definitely tempting to want to keep adding more when sampling like this, but this tune feels pretty full as-is. sometimes less is more
