The keys, vibraphone/marimba, bass and drums are MIDI.
The synth is my korg minilogue.
The vocal sample is a chopped up Nina Simone interview.
That's pretty much it!
Also if someone wants to help me finish this that'd be great:
Holy shit this is gorgeous. I'm definitely inspired. Going to see what I can do with this... it'll be my first real collaboration, so there are gonna be some technological hurdles to overcome, but I'm in. This is going to be so much more fulfilling than watching election news tonight... --- Technical questions: How do I get the sound file out of SoundCloud and into Garageband? What's the BPM? I think this needs to be about 4x longer, so I want to write a bridge or middle section to tag onto the end of this piece, then repeat this piece, and then do a closing section... I have no idea what they will sound like, but I feel like that's a good structure for the song.
Thanks man! 118BPM. I enabled direct downloads if you back and check again. I also can no longer find the ableton master file lol... it's all yours! I can send some of the samples I used if u need them, just dm.
jonaswildman I feel like you could do something cool with this.
I'm so upset by the name Niceferatu. Mostly because I did not think of it myself. This sounds nice though!! Makes me wanna make some music too. The one thing I might suggest is chopping up a bit of the static from the Nina interview and putting it under the instrumental between the two samples-- the transition on both ends is a bit abrupt otherwise. (Check out, for example/comparison, how Saba & Phoelix handle the same sample on this Noname track, starting around 1:35). PS Am I hearing shades of Shigeto?
