Finished a new instrumental today. It's called Release Me and starts off kind of jazzy with a funk part in the middle. Tell me what you think!

For the streaming version just open the audioplayer at http://www.bigthing.net (BTW , i added a song position bar in the player, now you can easily FFWD or REW the songs)

or download the mp3 : http://www.bigthing.net/m...ase_me.zip

The audio player dont seem to open for me

Love this song.

The slow build, the subtle funk just the whole damn thing. I listened to it about 10 times.


The delay keeps a vibe, the loop is solid, the solos seem to be what I hear as subtle.


edit - Is that feedback at 4:51???

Vina - You are worthy, Get up

Cloud - Try again, you have to click the 'launch audioplayer' button

Slave - Glad you like it. The sound at 4:51 is a delayed synth sound with lots of resonance

To all: The Bass 'solo' that starts at 2:55, It's been driving me crazy , but sometimes i think it's a bit out of tune and other times i think it's tuned ok. Can someone with good relative pitch hearing comment on this?

Thanx!

me likey very much. The chords remind me of Trouble Man era Marvin Gaye.

Lol. Some of you guys spit out these cool tracks like nothing, so prolific. Anyway, this is a great track. (As usual) I like how it builds up, you're great at that. The drums that come in at 1:20 are awesome. Baseline is GREAT. All I can do is praise you.

This reminds me of some of the instrumental New Age cds I have. Hope that's a compliment to you. Tom Vedvik comes to mind. He isnt quite as funky as you and leans more into Eastern music, but there is an ethereal quality to your music. Love it.


The bass solo sounds fine. It's ok to go a little off sometimes. But it doesn't sound off to me. Now the chords at 3:21 are questionable, but that just adds a little flavor, ya know? It makes you go "Hey, what the heck is going on? Where's he going?" Then you return to the "right" key and the "right" notes and it sounds sooo good to be home again.

THX man!
Now, i'm hoping to finish my instrumental CD this week (no work this week, let's hope i don't blow it all on partying)

Wish me luck!

You'll have to send me that .fla file of your web player.

Our designer wants to make something different out of it.

Cool?

I keep getting a 404 error in the pop up window opened by the player. I would just download it but I wanna see the flavour of your lfash player too

Hey Big, I REALLY like your song "Rubber" on there. Can I have a copy of it for my mp3 player? That is some elastic funk fo sho!


Peace,
JD

Man this is groovy.

Cloud - check my orgnote

NFO - I can mail you the source file , it's about 800 kb, the code has gotten pretty complicated over the months so i hope you can make something of it. It's mostly actionscripting (flash MX)

J - Ofcourse you can use my track. You can download all mp3's off my site. (roll your mouse over the title of the 'currently playing' textfield and you get a download link)

BigThing said:

Nice tune man! You are good . PS Ive got fairly modest relative pitch but your bass solo sounded fine.

Why not put the .fla file into a movie clip so it can just be dragged & dropped into their design & ya know I'd love to have a look at that source file too hint hint

God bless

Just FTP the NFO player up, if you don't mind.

I lost the FTP details, can u orgnote them again?

Why do I want to throw a Miles Davis sample over this?

I REALLY liked "Acoustic". I listened to it over and over yesterday - just forgot to come back and throw a mention up here for you. Great track - spatial, open and well structured. Made me wanna do an acoustic tune like that, but, you know, MY version would sound more like a drunk falling ONTO an acoustic guitar - I just never had the Acoustic Touch.

it was cool man. I likedhow u changed the beat by the ending. Personally i thought it was the highlight of it all.

Check out the song 'Milez' on my site , i sampled Miles Davis' Spanish Key (from Bitches Brew) on this track. (hope no lawyers are watching)

Bitches Brew is such a Cool album!

By the way, I really dig the mellow-cool sounds of Release Me. I downloaded Rubber a few minutes ago, and when I get more time, I am gonna check out all your stuff and get mo download on! Good stuff, Big!


Peace,
JD

well there U go Bigthang...Miles makes sense to me

Great...just played it on NewPowerRadio.
