Freesound Forums

A bit unusual for me, I have been working on multiple music pieces simultaneously - although very slowly...

This one involves multiple crazy experiments (which I will not go into), but basically a sad melody developed and then I needed some nostalgic words to go with it. - That is where Freesound came in

Here is the result:

This is a really nice piece. I'm wondering what inspired this creation of yours. Care to divulge?

Also it's great to hear Roses in the context of a music track, I always wondered what it would be like and now I wonder no more, it's wonderful. Fits the mood perfectly.

Great work Alien

Hello Headphaze

I set myself a challenge to create a music piece using certain tools (which are not relevant to this discussion, so won't go into that). The mellody that developed in the process was very nostalgic - just happened, was not my intention.
So I went with it and decided to turn it into a nostalgic piece.

Roses has lots of spoken word samples here at Freesound, and I thought if I could get the right words to go with the mood of the song it would really make an impact.

The song was not fully done, and I did not have a particular theme in mind - just wanted the mood to be melancholic.
As I listened to a few vocal samples, I picked a few words and sentences. I stumbled across the word "home" - and it all clicked!
Got a few more words and short expressions on that theme and - presto!

Great work Alian!!

It's always nice that moment when things "click".

Anyway, please do share the others when you've finished. I'll be interesting to listen.

Cheers

This is another recent adventure. Although no Freesounds on this one....

gosh I really love those drums!

By any chance did you use Addictive Drums or Superior Drummer for the drum programming?

Actually I can't take much credit for the drums.
I started with the bassline and then wanted some drums that would fit nicely. These are a Rex loop playing on Dr OctoRex in Reason.

And there is also this one:

Which is a collab. Was waiting for my partner to give it the 'thumbs up' before sharing here.

I like it. Very full sound.
