Some People

Post by hubird »

Two friens of mine picked up their old hobby from years and started to make music again.
They have only a few hours in three weeks, so a song should be 'written' and recorded in one short evening, from scratch, except the (Dutch) song text.

They record the tracks on a digital Yamaha recorder, and send them to me, unprocessed, to make something out of it.
Musically it's all minimal, but the passion is there.
For rithm they use a simple drumcomputer, in this case, a kick, a 16th hihat and a streight rim on the afterbeat.

To make the arrangement more interesting I had to break up the rigide devision in three voice blocks with following slide solo's, so I put a few extra bars in between, on two places (after voice1 and 2), en cutted away some solo bars in the endpart.
I also muted a few (repeated) words, the muted words in couplet 3 are actually placed back at the very end, so the singer couldn't feel bothered ;-)
For the beat workout I added a fat tommy loop with the same kick pattern as the original one, an electronic percussion loop, plus a transition fill loop.
On one guitar I put a dynamic wawa filter, to get some other sound.

Enjoy :-)

Oh, the text is about those middle class families in those typical vinex residentials, falling apart. 'Ze vallen dagelijks', they fall daily. Anyway.

take this one for streaming the mix:
