Song done, more or less. Provisional version...here:
Kapitano - Frostbite (Provisional Version)
It's really a test-of-concept piece, rather than a serious attempt at a song. The concepts in question being:
- Can I do a reasonable imitation of turntable scratching without going anywhere near a turntable?
- For rapid vocals a la Dieter Meier, can I record at half speed, then time compress them?
- Can I use (self made) drumloops?
- Just how deep into the 80s can I go? :-)
What do you think? Does it sound like I've got a personal scratch DJ imprisoned in the basement? Would you pay good money to never hear a vocal like this again? Do the lo-fi elements add anything good?
Is it overcompressed? Not compressed enough? Anything need changing mixwise? Anything in particular that doesn't work?
Let me know.
Generally I liked it. The scratching (sans turntable) was good - the very beginning excellent. The double time vocals - if they had clarity - would work, and the chorus rocked ... Okay, so it didn't rock, it housed or whatever. I liked it anyway.
ReplyDeleteYou're always very reticent to have your vocals heard. Don't be!
It sounds good! It does sound very 80s.
