urb Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hey Just been mixing tracks for a new band/singer songwriter project - we're about half way through - anyway I've used the Sei on all these new tracks - the one you can listen to is the first one on my Myspace is a deep funk slap-based thing - all recorded live including the vocal. I recorded the bass direct and it sounds wicked - I brought in the Piezo bridge pickups and it adds just the right amount of sizzle - I'd be interested to hear what you think of the music and the playing - and thanks as ever for the feedback: Listen to 'Return To Me' here: [url="http://www.myspace.com/flynnbass"]http://www.myspace.com/flynnbass[/url] More stuff on the way soon - it's really varied musically some rock stuff, bit of latin, some funk - really good tunes and grooves - I'll keep you posted when more music appears on our proper Myspace page. Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Funk Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Like it. The only thing I'd change is to take out one of the more extravagant fills that was somewhere in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaty Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Really nice, hauntingly melancholic but very catchy. Personally I didn't find the fills too much and I especially liked those between about 2.00 and 2.30. Maybe save the fill at 1.27 for a bit later when the emotion has built up a bit more, but that is nit picking. Really very good indeed. Will this be avialble for purchase some time.

Pete[/quote] Thanks for the positive comments guys - and the criticisms too - re the fills I made a point of actually working something out that wasn't some w***y triplet run and also was in itself quite sparse - it's all in the key and is (hopefully) melodic/musical - we literally improvised the backing over a couple of takes and that was it - this is the bass line as I played it in a singe take. Had anyone in the band felt we should have changed it in any way or edited it then I'd have been open to that - they didn't want anything changed and felt it was cool and so it stayed as I played it... I did TRY and be tasteful... you can't please all the people all the time. Re it being available - we are looking to release it via a label as soon as we can but we need to find a label first. The singer is off to New York over christmas and she's got some great contacts there so we'll see how she gets on - an industry mate of hers is really excited about this stuff so we'll see. lastly there's another track on my Myspace page now which is called [b]'Rather Make Believe' [/b]which is a sort of house/funk tune - NO SLAPPING - just some good ole finger style grooving - have a listen to that and let me know what you reckon - all the stuff we've done is really varied so the slappy thing in context is just one aspect of it - there's some rocky-ish stuff, dancey stuff etc - it's all really lovely Cheers for checking it out Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgraham Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Wasn't quite my cup of tea TBH, but it made some decent background music. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
