LED Sightsystem

By Tomatron.Jones on February 28, 2026 11:34 pm

I found an 8-bar loop I made a year and a half ago titled 'LCD Soundsystem-ish' so I decided to turn it into a full arrangement. Mostly some repeated synth (Moog Subphatty, I think it originally was) and guitar that sort of pedals on the tonic. Then some jankily recorded and mixed guitar counterpoint. I spent most of the time trying to get the drums to sound decent. It's primarily based on a pretty good drum loop sample, made my own Ableton drum kit out of it an layered with another, with some tweaks to the beat. Kinda fun. I was enjoying it at first but now I'm totally sick of it. Such is the process. The title 'LED Sightsystem' is an obvious play on the name 'LCD Soundsystem'.

* Drum samples from Splice
* Guitar recorded through Scarlet 4i4
* Synth from Helm, Ableton Wavetable and Moog Subphatty
* Gullfoss and Ozone Elements 10 for mastering

Total Time: ~4 hours

Whoa, this is super nice! Love the LCD Soundsystem vibes indeed. Cool buildup of energy vibe and lovely chunky guitar to give it some life.

Haha, thanks!

Hell yeah! I love the LCD style and this captures it perfectly. The guitar sits in the track really well.
The only thing that makes it not LCD like is it's not 8 minutes long, and I wanted more when it was over big_smile

Haha, thanks! I definitely knew that keeping it short was against the LDC Soundsystem style, but I opted to keep it short and sweet rather than going on.

Bite size LCD Soundsystem! I love the guitars.

Great upbeat guitar, balances everything out just right
