Pretty goofy one here , messing with some speech to text apps and wanted to try them out for a spoken word kinda thing.
Thanks Bulls, had fun with this one, yes Australian accents, to me, they sounded the most realistic, less robotic. There is a Indian "vocalist " at the end as well...Cool composition. It's quite jazzy. I like all the little progressions and delay effects. The vocal adds a level of weirdness that sets it off well. Are they Australian accents?
Thanks, I sliced and diced those drum loops from my very old Cakewalk guitar tracks Drag And Drop Drummer collection.i love this.
the drums are killer
Yes I am going to bring the solo up a little, this was a early mix and wanted to live with it for a few days and see what I thought after the initial tracking/mixing.Mix: How about bringing the solo guitar up a bit? Not a suggestion as much as a question.
Why the Aussie speakers? Are you Aussie?
I like it a lot, and there's lots to like here - it's singular and memorable, really listenable, has good soloing, and like Manslick says - that drum part is killer. Good work.
I started w/ Drag and Drop drummer, transitioning to Smart Loops - and eventually got to known Frank pretty well (the drummer/creator). Eventually he played on a lot of my tracks over the years - recording his drums in real time to grids/sketches I sent down.Thanks, I sliced and diced those drum loops from my very old Cakewalk guitar tracks Drag And Drop Drummer collection.
That's what I thought the first time I heard rap.The spoken word element is a neat experiment ... but it's one of those things that if the next song came up and used the same technique, I'd likely fast forward through it.
That's what I still say when I hear rap.That's what I thought the first time I heard rap.
Actually, it would depend what the spoken part was saying. I like this one.

I am not into rap music but I love Gil Scott Heron. His innovation and brilliance was so far ahead of his time back in 1971. He influenced so much of rap and hip hop now. A true inovator and poet for his people and way ahead of his time...That's what I still say when I hear rap.
Very good. Stick to you beliefs and principles. I think I am going to write crappy ballads and appeal to the grandmother generationmy wife has a tee shirt regarding that subject.

I love him, a pioneer of music and spoke for African Americans. Hypocritical? As I am a white working class guy from the North East of England... I just think great music is colour blind and trancends race, creed, colour, and social status. Amen brotherDamn, that is *so* good. Also, it's not rap. You've just arranged another Amazon sale to me. Thanks.
Get "Pieces of a Man" and listen to this track also. You will hear how Pharrell Williams influence for his hit "Happy" came fromDamn, that is *so* good. Also, it's not rap. You've just arranged another Amazon sale to me. Thanks.
Public Enemy and Grandmaster Flash cited Gil as a great influence. A great meaning of street music and peace and hope for equality for African American people back in the day. It has just become a byword for drugs, mysogyny, homophobia, guns and materialistic ambition and hatred now very sadly "The Message" has been lostDamn, that is *so* good. Also, it's not rap. You've just arranged another Amazon sale to me. Thanks.
