SONG: Mudflap

[jbraner]

Hi,
I've got a new song - it's called "Mudflap"
You can find it here:
https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14565167

It features the usual suspects:
Superior Drums
MODO Bass
real stratocasters through a real tube amp
various synths and noises in Kontakt
 

Thanks for listening.
All comments welcome ?

What is that noise at 1:39?
Like the way you changed things up every time thru.
Your song, your production; but some of the non traditional "noises" in Kontakt; maybe they'll grow on me...

?

Hi Tom - thanks for listening

There's a few things going on there - some of them are from this guy in Ukraine who made some field recordings.

Interesting song, I like all the different sounds you bring in, very creative.

Hi KS - thanks a lot for listening and for your comments

Good song, enjoyed it. Do you ever sing on your songs? At the stop at about 1 minute, put some reverby or delay stuff in so it doesn’t seem like the song is ending. Like the unexpected changes of parts and moods, the mix seems balanced over here. Sometimes the guitar seems very slightly muddy. I agree with you calling it a jazzy, rockish song, at some parts more one that the other, and with some abstract bits too. I like the ending section work wish there was more of that. Good job

Hi treesha,

Thanks a lot for listening and for your comments.

I just do instrumentals - I like it this way

And that thing at 1:00 is *supposed* to sound like the song is ending - it's all part of the fun

 

[treesha]

I think I do about half instrumentals, so I get it! Yes its fun for sure.

Hi - good track enjoyed the listen - I also heard what tom did at 1.39 - sounded a bit odd, but as tom said, your track!!

Hi Nigel,

Thanks a lot for listening and for your comments. I think what you're both referring to is a noise kind of like a record scrathching or something "broken".

It's just a noise - among other noises

John, having heard a number of your songs over the years, I must say that I'm constantly surprised and delighted by you.  Maybe because of the unexpected sounds throughout, I really like this song!  Your arrangement is cleaver and crafty, which gives it a vibe of unpredictability that I like.  As always, your mastery of great guitar tones speak volumes.  Keep it up!

Doing OK - just busy with personal issues these days, though mainly very mundane stuff that take away my internet time if not my studio time.  Thanks for asking

[jbraner]

Well, I hope everything works out OK

Rgds,

Yeah I get it. Trying to push some boundaries. That's cool. Got to have fun and cross a few yellow lines.  That's what made the 70's so great and that's sort of where this took me. Good stuff, John. Follow your heart. I enjoyed your adventure!

[jbraner]

Hi FreeEarCandy - thanks a lot for listening!

Yes you nailed it - just having some fun
