Hypno swing with a splash of disco

Yes I made up that title.. no I’m not sure much of what it means either :)

This is a bit of a random collection of grooves inspired by the anonymous rooster groove CD.

Still working on practicing recording, listening to myself, getting stuff uploaded, learning the process and working out some wrinkles. It’s pretty harsh listening to yourself too. These aren’t coming out and grooving exactly the way I hear them quite yet.. but I’m going with it anyways and I expect them to improve over time.

I’m already wondering this site layout my not be the best for what I’m dong. I’ll run with it for now. I have some ideas for making things easier to browse, but that’ll take me bringing some web coding skills up to speed and right now I want to play MUSIC!

At some point I will probably chart out these tracks and post that with the loops.

These tracks flow better as loops as made a point of looping them in the audio editor and making sure there weren’t any obvious hiccups. Might have to go back and edit earlier ones to tidy them up the same.

    Some nice loops. Yet to hear them looped. Are they in Acid format?
    Hypno and med funky are my fave.

    Like the drum sounds except the cymbals for some reason, but hopefully you will do with and without cymbal versions anyway (cymbals get in the way - LOL)

    Looking forward to hearing more about your band and your own music.

    Hi Peter, thanks for taking the time to visit, listen, and comment.

    I hadn’t thought about doing them in Acid format! I’ve done a bit of googling and found a free version of Acid. I’ll look into this and see what I can work out.

    As for removing cymbals.. hmmm.. kinda tough. I’ve played all these live on a drum set. Actually removing a part from them totally changes everything. What is it about the cymbals in particular? Too many? Having any is a problem? Perhaps if there were longer breaks between cymbals hits that would be more useful? Should I just make some without any cymbal hits at all?

    Thanks again, all input appreciated!

    Curtis.
