Since people are showing off their artwork I figured I'd share some of my music so I can feel artistic lol. As I mentioned in another thread, my cat broke my guitar (the little jerk! lol) so I've been messing with my keyboard, production equipment and bass guitar while I think about what kind of new guitar I want.
Anyway, here's some of my stuff:
"Call Me"
A remix of one of Al Green's most famous songs. I did this a few years ago. No guitars or anything like that, this one is a straight-up remix using synthesizers and programmed drums:
"Like Tears In The Rain"
One of my favorite movies is Ridley Scott's Bladerunner (1982), based on Philip K. Dick's science fiction novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" In the movie, Rutger Hauer delivers this monologue that has become one of the most famous in movie history:
"Starcadia Nights"
For this one I was trying to find something that would sound good over a funk rhythm guitar part, and nothing I tried was any good. So then I was just messing around on my guitar while playing over the unfinished rhythm track, and I started doing some tapping, or shredding, or whatever metalheads like to call it. Highly inapprorpriate for that kind of music lol. But because I'm emphatically not a metalhead and I'm a middling guitarist, I did it "wrong" by tapping melodically, and this is the result.
Then I filtered the lead guitar take with a bit crusher to get that electronic sound on the alternate guitar phrases, added some heavy boom bap drums, filtered those with a distortion plug-in, and added some tasty low-end bass. Here's the weird outcome of that experiment:
"Let Me Know!"
Another old one I did a few years ago. This is straight up, golden era, New York style instrumental hip hop with extensive sample work and an exaggerated low end meant to get booties shaking. This instrumental was used on a friend's album for a song extolling the virtues of piff, but this is a family site so I will post only the instrumental version haha. The sample is from an old Motown record IIRC. I'm very proud of the bass on this one.
"No More Mr. Nice Gaius"
Another attempt to make something funky. I don't know if it worked. Guitar, drums, bass, keyboards, synthesizers, the works...
"Triumph"
Okay, more funk. I mixed this one horribly so I highly recommend headphones. I tried to pull off an "anthemic" sound with this one. Just guitars, bass, drums and synthesizers.

So I used the audio from the movie and combined it with an instrumental beat I had been working on:"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
