New track - gentle criticism hoped for...
      13/01/12 02:03 PM
Hi everyone,

I'm a touch nervous about this - I've been messing around with production for a while, but this is the first time I've released a track into the wild. Mostly I'm a guitarist, but I've been playing with electronic sounds, and enjoying it, although I lack the background knowledge to classify or describe what I come up with

Anyway, this is a track I've put together, which started life as a technical experiment - I wanted to see if I could capture the "buzzing" sound of my finger touching the end of a guitar lead plugged into my interface, and do something musical with it. After messing around with that for a while, I added some other elements and ended up with a track. The buzzy chords that come in halfway through, and the high pitched lead line at the end are both built from the sampled buzz.

I'm under no illusions that this is a great mix - any constructive criticism of the track or the mix would be very welcome

Cheers,

Rich
