As threatened on the other thread, I've finally finished this after a veeeerrrryyy long gestation period.
It's a bit different from the previous stuff, still dark and depressing, but this time very double-bass led and stripped back in a lot of places.
Hope it tickles some fancies.

Love this firs track!! v tom waits and it works really well! Love the banjo and the percussion too.. great work mate
Can hear some great remix potential in 300lb brick too!!
Goodnight is a lovely track too..
just checking out your previous releases on spotify,. Ash and rain.. beautiful sounds..
Thanks fella, much appreciated.
:)
You're welcome to the wavs for 300lb brick (or any of the others) if you fancy doing something with it yourself.
I wouldn't mind having a bit of a play with 300Lb brick as well the tune talks to me, are the wave files raw & untreated.Quote:

I'm now officially a blinddrew fan :-)
Short on time just now but still managed to listen to the 4 tracks ... twice.
Will look further into your work.
Thanks.
I’d love this opportunity. Thanks. Send me a PM or link to the stem files if you’d like to along with any info on Bpm etc. That would be great. Thank you.Quote:

Thanks for the interest folks. I'll stick a drop box folder up and lob the wavs in there. They'll be comped but otherwise untreated (because that's easiest) :)
Glad you've enjoyed it.
Thanks Drew, I won't have the opportunity to download until mid Feb, I'm jumping on a cruise ship in about 5 hours and won't be paying for their internet $560.00 for two devices for 13 days and my device addiction sure don't stretch to thatQuote:

I'll start with 300lb Brick but if i get chance i'll lob the wavs from the others up there as well. Mix and match at will! :)
I'd like a go at A Prologue.
Without the banjo track presumably? ;)
Ok, this is going to have to wait until tomorrow. Was going to do it tonight but it's literally about 4 degrees down in the study an too cold to sit down for any serious length of time.
Only to make room for the cowbell! :)Quote:

Other tracks will follow
And here's the files for A Prologue: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pqlxiyyqn...JS1Lg2Pfa?dl=0
A quick word on the drum files; these were played into midi from an electic kit and then the sounds were generated by a couple of plug-ins - it's those basic plugin sounds you've got here. I could probably export the midi files if wanted but I'd need to figure out how to do that first!
Here's Stone on Stone: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s1fxjbr2f...E2e21fi_a?dl=0
And finally, here's Goodnight:

The drums in this are from the electronic kit again but this time it's just the audio out recorded directly. The Bass Vox is just me moaning into the mic, on the final version it's gone through an autotune and then pitched down two octaves (in case you'd thought it was a bit of bowed double bass or synth)
There you go folks, knock yourselves out!
Just to be clear, you're free to use any of this stuff however, whenever and wherever you want. And should you score a massive international hit off the back of it, well, more power to your elbow. :)
These are great mate. Def going to have a look at 300lb brick. bass sounds amazing! any idea on the bpm? if not I can figure it out
Hmm, it wasn't recorded to a click so it'll be a bit hit and miss. Tapping it in on my phone says about 138bpm but I'd be surprised if it's that constant throughout. Still, there's plenty of space in there so if you need to pull it apart to fit a grid that shouldn't be too tricky. :)
When I have a project where I have individual tracks to work with and don't know the bpm I drop the drum/click track into Riffstation which gives it exactly, I then set my DAW to that reading.
Will be doing just that here when I get to it
If the tempo varies, you'll probably need to tempo map it with the DAW, rather than set it to one set BPM. Of course if you don't want to add programmed parts but just play along live, then set the project to show time in mins and secs rather than BPM.
Riffstation reckons 115 bpm for A Prologue, I sat it on that grid and it all hooks in pretty tight.
I have downloaded this and 300 Lb Brick but haven't really gone near them because our album release has just gained much more importance due to the very poor health of one of our members.
Sorry to hear that Dave, hope things go as well as they can.
Thanks Drew much appreciated
Well I had a play with Stone on Stone. No click or BPM makes it interesting to mess with...so I just butchered it :D

Great remix! Love it. :)
I'm sure if anyone else was wanting to take a copy of the wavs they will have done so, but just in case, I'll be removing them from Dropbox at the end of sunday because I need the space back, so grab 'em now if you want 'em. :)
