New song...

[M@rkus]

Hi all,

Hope you all had a really nice christmas and new year!

Hear´s my new song. I´ve used drum loops (which sounds so much better than my "addictive drums"), and also brass loops. It´s a funky thing, and as always I´m very happy with the result ha ha. Concidering I can´t play or sing very well, I came rather close to what I was hearing in my head. But preferably Little Feat should have recorded this ´round 1976-77....

Best regards/
Markus

Brilliant as always! How do you do your vocal harmonizing?

Thanks outteh!

When it comes to my vocal harmonizing, most of the time I hear something in my head that I would like it to sound like. But I haven´t got a clue as to how to do it.. Therefore it´s much trial and error, I test several different harmonies, and change and rearrange until I think I´m somewhere in the neighborhood of what I heard in my head..

Sometimes I surprise myself and find that the harmonies actually sounds better than I expected. I try to make the harmonies interesting, and like to jump around a bit with the second harmony. Somtimes an octave apart, sometimes I sing the same as the first harmony. I try to not limit myself, If it sounds good and interesting, I keep it.

But of course, with my limited singing/playing talent, I often wished I had proper musicians I could call to play and sing. That is actually a dream I have, having proper musicians recording one of my songs, just to hear for once how it could have sounded. But I suppose you can´t have everything. I´m happy just being able to get something down on tape (disc) that I enjoy listen to myself.

Your vocals are fine, don't beat yourself up. There are folks on this forum that would love to be able to do what your doing, (me included)!
