"Hotter than August" Updated 8/21



New Version UPDATED: 8/21
http://digitalsoundscapes.../July2.mp3

Old One: http://digitalsoundscapes...o/July.mp3


Background music for an upcoming video.
(Oh, and best song ever posted here! per OTAN)




Update:
My wife and I will be having our 2nd child on Monday. Our first is a boy, this time it's going to be a girl.

Now all we need is a cat, dog and a white picket fence and we'll just have the american dream right? (or a TV sit-com)

I'll probably be taking a week or two off work as well as the computer to spend some serious quality time with my growing family. I'm diggin' this whole "dad" thing. I think my wife would probably appreciate being taken care of too.

Peace guys!

Killer Groove. I hear it in a movie for sure.

Some of the changes seem a little abrupt at times but other than that I love the sound effects and my favorite effect - The Wah Wah.

Is that bass line from the chemical brothers?

How are you doing the horns?

Apple has developed a new version of Final Cut Pro (HD)

It comes with a sequencing program called Soundtrack. It has thousands of sounds. You can use your own keyboard as a controller. I'll have to work with the arrangement some more. I just wanted to knock something out in an hour to set up my timeline for the video.

ok, after listening to it again at full volume from the studio monitors....

THIS IS COOL!
(if I don't mind stepping back and patting myself on the back!)

I know EXACTLY what needs to be changed now. This will be extended to about 10 minutes with a whole "world beat" kinda bridge where the drums take a bow, that I want to take from contanent to contanent and then a kick arse vamp that just builds and builds....

I'll do some over-dubs of the industry that I was hired to do this for to accent the visuals I'm working on. It really sucks that I can't post the video for I am under contract to keep the confidential stuff private. There are a lot of employee and facility photos in the video that are not supposed to be public...

Oh, well.

I'm excited about this one again!

Often, I'm a "work for hire" kinda guy and can't post EVERYTHING I do because someone else "owns" it. Lately, I feel more inclined to post the demo before I sign it over to someone else.

A larger audience is always appreciated! So thanks!

I was here a long time before I volunteered to be a mod for this forum only. Actually I do more visual work than music. Thanks for the feedback!

I've gotta check by here more often. redface

My 1st impression, based on the intro, was "Very '70s, very Shaft."
As the tune progressed I felt like I was in the back seat of Karl Malden's car,
chasing a criminal through The Streets of San Francisco.


Very nice.

Thanks.
BTW, I played back the NFO II album last night to some friends and your song "747: Flight of Passage" turned a lot of heads. I think that was the first time I listened to it myself at full volume with some proper monitors. Man! there is so much going on in that song with the bass, I was totally blown away... again!

NP.

That's great to hear that you and others are digging the track.

The bassline in the 7/4 sections is one i've had rolling around in my head for a few years. When I finally built a track around it is when I noticed that it reminded me of the line Bootsy used on James Brown's quasi-live version of Give It Up Or Turnit A Loose off of the 1970 Sex Machine album. That became the basis for the 4/4 section. I asked the bass player (a friggin' monster player as you've noticed) to play the structured 7/4 section as written and use the Bootsy line as a guide for where he wanted to go with the 4/4 "drive this mutha into the ground" section. He obviously did that and then some. There was actually supposed to be the sound of a 747 in the transistion sections but ended up being one of those things that just didn't get done in time.

I know I owe you some more data. redface
Maybe we should adopt an early Prince-like attitude and not give any more info. lol

Thanks again.

Is it a collection of sequenced samples or did you play all the parts yourself?
