UPDATE: Now with funk Telecaster and vocals
I pulled together a few TR-909 drum samples in my DAW and created a nice 4-bar loop with a kick, snare and hi-hat. Felt like it needed a bit more so rolled in a guitar part I'd transcribed into the DAW and gave it a sweeping Prophet keyboard sound, then tapped along a slap bass line, which I quantized to sync it better to the beat. Once that was in a bit of stereo widening was needed...but still something missing a melody, a drop, a different keyboard, a harmony to the melody and a finish.
Before I knew it, I had a track that has ended up being the bastard child of a John Foxx era Ultravox instrumental outtake and something Jean-Michel Jarre wouldn't have touched with a barge pole and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark wouldn't have dreamed of putting out as a throwaway B-side.
Be interested to know what you think...very much a deviation from the norm for me.
