Years ago, I put a bunch of projects together, and that particular side-project seemed to be the one I wrote the most for, by far, because there was no question whether I was being too self-consicous in my writing or what... I just wrote and kept putting songs together.
I let it flow and tried to combine what I liked into music - old horror movie music, dark electro, funk, disco, Morricone, Pin Ups, and so on... All warped up in one common and funny theme - death. But from a tongue in cheek angle. I wanted it to sound like trance music that you'd have heard playing on an 8-track tape in a car during a 70s Roger Corman horror flick.
I think the music was good but I worked in a crappy little
rectangle room ( 6 X 12) w/ crappy equipment, and, worst, I thought I could figure it out and make up for that w/ talent still come up w/ decent mixes. That's back when I thought I could actually give people advices on these boards. lol
Truth is I couldn't hear a thing, I was not trained to hear a thing and I was just too full of myself anyway. But the ambience was right. :P
I still can't give advices, I still work in a crappy room, the monitors are still inexpensive ones (though much better imho), but I'm having fun and I thought I'd share this little thing I put together using only Logic's sampler and the included stuff...
Listening to it right now, there's too much reverb - I had set one buss and just sent everything to that long reverb.
Anyway, here it is - a tiny little something, much inspired by looping DVD menus.
