Description : A quick track to see if my new home setup works... I think I like it :)

People "accuse" me of making 70s music... I think this one proves it. It reminds even me of Little Feat, if you know them (and if you don't, look them up, they're awesome).

Some minor fixes... will come out on youtube on Monday. Give it a look if you can :)

I love your 70s style. Many thanks for sharing. Something I want to start to produce when I gain more practice. :-) Cheers from Devon.

Thanks a lot CBC! Mixing/mastering is still the thing that excites me least so it's great to hear it worked out in this case :)

Dank je wel! Ik begon in dit geval met te drummen, terwijl ik zat te drummen voelde ik de accoorden, toen ik de accoorden speelde wist ik de melodie en toen ik de melodie zong kwamen de woorden ook heel natuurlijk... soms komt het allemaal wat makkelijker dan andere keren ;)

BaoBou. So my current situation……. I’m listening as I’m on my way to kick it with my mom who is 91 and lives 2 hours away and she’s sharp as a tack. Something about your track and driving through the countryside is making my day! I’m really digging this because it’s uniquely you. Plus at the risk of sounding redundant, I still cannot unhear Donald Fagan! Nothing technical is interfering with what you have shared musically. Great job Buddy:). Also I’ve got the .als project files and will be jumping on them soon. Peace.

Thank you so much!!
Great to hear your mom is ok, especially at that age. My mom is 81, so I feel you (brain is still fast, her legs not so much anymore ;)
Donald Fagen is a great name to be compared to. I'm happy :)

Hello, what's wrong with 70's music? Great song from you again! Nice solos, wonderful vocals. I think it turned out to be a nice bluesy ballad. The mix is good, each instrument has its place without being overbearing.
Little Feat doesn't mean anything to me. But I will google *smile

Thank you very much Manuela! Listening back I don't like the drums, but that'll be the tweaks in a next version.
Always appreciate your professional ear!

To me it has a Paul Simon feel to it. It has an upbeat and positive vibe. The lyrics are relatable and tell a sweet story, well done!

The quicker and simpler the song comes together, the better the song, that's what I find happens.

What did you do with the new setup?

Paul Simon!! Yes that's absolutely it and that's also an amazing compliment because that's probably one of the most amazing poets of the previous century.

Setup: well, I moved from a cramped apartment with no real space (via some (mis)adventures) to a place where I can have a study - which is also my man cave and has the space to really set up all my instruments in a more or less permanent setting, so I can start drumming, playing guitar or keys, or singing at just about any time (barring company time of course) ;)

It's amazing and liberating and just about perfect!

Well I definitely don't accuse you I know you do this is your comfort zone 70 style lol kinda like how I met my ex wife your story line. She was the sparkle in my eye. Music is the key to my heart now. Great song man you go that 70s

BaoBou replied 24th Aug 2023 - 1 year ago
Haha it made me really happy that the story hit home with you until I realised it's your ex-wife :D

I always try to write lyrics in such a way that many people will recognise something... I guess that worked here :)

Thanks for listening and commenting!!

Well done. Often, the ones that are done on the spur of the moment turn out to be really good. And hey, if you like to create "70s music", crack on and keep doing it. There will always be difference of opinion no matter what you produce. Keep going.

BaoBou replied 23rd Aug 2023 - 1 year ago
Thanks man! Yeah some tracks take weeks to gel and others just flow naturally and write themselves.

This one when I started with the drum beat, I could already hear the chords and when I played the chords I already started singing.

If only creating was always this easy... :D

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.

Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.

Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
