You and Slightly Small People - Night Rice

Post by illit_ »



Yeoo, been on weird one lately. Wasn't finishing much and when I did they never sounded great, so I changed my workflow up a little. Before, I was recording 64+ bars of noodling then forcing loops out trying to make it into an interesting track. This time I recorded early with two elements and built the percussion and other synths around it. I'm sure others work this way but I had previous limitations from my laptop which are now non existent and so hadn't really committed to doing it this way round.

I feel the arrangement is much better than I have done before. I'm sure someone will find it boring though ;)

Appreciate any and all feedback :D nice one!

I don't find it boring at all :) If anything there might be quite a lot going on :lol:

Nevertheless there's a really great groove in there, and you make some very beautiful transitions - when the hihat switches at around 1.20, for instance, it worked crazy well!

There's something about the sounds and the groove that reminds me of LCD soundsystem, for some reason :D

Hehe it doesn't sound like a LCD track, there's just something in the groove and some of the sounds that gave me a bit of that flavour ;)

I don't think it's too long

A very good way to start the day !!! This is the funniest (in a very good way) track I've heard for a long time - and it definitely has a great groove.

Ah yeah, I wasn't assuming it did sound like them, just got some similar tang :P

Definitely !!! There was some kind of "The Residents meet the dancefloor" humoresque flavor in early techno and house stuff that seem to have been lost since...

I really like the playfullnes of the track with some cool incidentals thrown in there.
You did a great job on the arrangement.
