Description Hopefully a nod to Manos Tacticos whom I admired greatly,this is an attempt at making totally unsuitable instrumentssound like something else.Its not polished and it may be a bit wobbly in the mando dept..and the gtr posing as bouzouki...and the bass is a bit shite.....Look I just got excited and want to try it out on yousall.................
Lyrics No none nada
Hardware Variax 700,cheap mandolin(Romanian Ozark for Stentor music if that means anything)which i should practise more.....
Software: Tea,lots of it

The attempt is what counts Chris
And the results are in. You did great. Yeah it's a little raw, but that makes it sound real.

One thing, the bass is a little boomy in places. You might try taming it with some compression. It might help to control it.

But then again, I'll bet you're gonna do this one again, and I'll be listening for it when you do.

Ya done good my friend. it has the natural feel and sound of a live recording and you did great on the instruments.

Be well and be cool Chris

Yes I am definitely going to revisit this and definitely clean it up.It just had to go up though because I was so pleased with the melody and concept....you try to play rock and roll and you get pitta patter!!!!Don't figure.

this is very fun, actually. So the instruments are on slightly different astral planes from each other, but you came up with a cool piece of music, and played it too, which is way more than I could ever do. For some reason, I see you finishing this up, and having this huge happy grin on your face... or is that on my face, not sure now. Anyway, great fun was had listening to you, while I stretched out in this rather cozy warm pot. Not too shabby, tabby!
ttfn,
Drakonis

I am
going to redo this,because a)it did make me grin to play this and mostly b) I forgot to save the original tracks in Cubase after I mixed to MP3 ,too busy grinning !!

Glad you had some fun out of it too.

Fun and lively!
This was, no doubt, fun to make. The recording is also well done and nicely distinct.

A little charmer, to be sure!

Jarvoid said 100 days ago
Hah
The recording might have been distinct but now it is bloody well extinct....never mind,had a grinnwide senior moment
(and I'm not fifty till 17/10/08 or 10/17/08 for you transatlantic folk)and after creating the MP3 closed Cubase without saving....that'll larn me but to be fair it was only a coupla hours work that's how inspired I was...Cheers thanks for the listen etc

Greek sounding
...as Drakonis pointed out.

I can see why you got excited man. Very nice composition Chris. By all means, clean this up and give us a final mix.

Be well!

Jarvoid said 97 days ago

this needs redoing I too think it is fun .

Cheers
