I finished my track today, and I had a
BUNCH of fun doing it!
The original plan was to make sort of like a glitchy lo-fi hip-hop beat sort of thing using all the samples, but we all know how plans go. Got swept up in the moment and ended up using only two samples and creating something completely different.
Grabbed my OP-1 and plugged into it from my computer to sample your samples. Started off, still planing on going through with the beat idea, checking out the sample of the gate opening and closing (who sent that? That was a high quality sample!). Made a simple pitched down and filtered tribal-like drum kit, then went on to check out some other samples. First one I checked out was the mausoleum harmony sample, which I purely checked out because I have fond memories of hanging out there with my ILF budbuds. Decided to play around with it for a bit and ended up using it to create an entire choir (well, bass, baritones, tenors and countertenors/sopranos), plus some pseudo stringed instruments and writing an arrangement for each grouping. A couple of hours and many layers later I put down the OP-1 to realize that I had made something I never,
ever would have made if it hadn't been for this collab. So, thanks for the inspiration, my dudes and dudettes. I can't wait to hear all the stuff you guys came up with!
