Weekly Beats 2014 - Week 06! Wasted...

Trying a new submission schedule. Nobody listens to music on a Monday.

Didn't wait until today to start, but it took me until today to get the idea to add spoken word to this track, and it turned in to something pretty okay, but the production suffered a bit.
Thanks to: Colin Mutchler for his spoken word/poem "Drugs of Choice."
Made with/on/by/through:
- Logic Pro
- Alchemy synths, Stylus RMX drum samples, East West ethnic instruments and atmospheric noise
- Colin Mutchler's spoken word, from the website above.
- MOUNTAIN DEW BAJA BLAST followed by total sugar crash.

Weekly Beats 2014 - Week 05! Boats!

Once again, I waited until 2:00 pm to get started, which only gave me 5 hours (in my time zone) to finish, and since I really didn't have any new ideas this week I decided to take an old track and complete it. This is from probably around 2007, and only the first 30 seconds or so was really there. It was originally for a video game ... that only really existed in my head. But yeah, this would have been, like, a seaside town, near the boats. Which is why I called it boats. But now it's more of a "piece" than a looping VGM background track. Also, the recorded parts are a little sloppy, sorry.

But I seriously have to stop this last-minute bullshit. One of these weeks it's not gonna pan out for me. :\

Made with/on/by/through:
- Logic Pro
- A bunch of East West sounds (strings, guitars)
- Some Logic Pro sounds, shockingly enough (the percussion)
- Some guitar recording, some MIDI recording, mostly sequencing using the piano roll or TabIt (lol)
- A big ass sub from Quiznos

Thanks for listening!
