50 Songs {electronic edition}: In The Garage

March 11, 2009 in songwriting with 11 Comments

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I don’t do this as much as I used to, but I would sit for hours on end and make little eletronic pieces. It was a blast.

Since I kind of hit a writers block due to travel, time, and lack of motivation the last 2 weeks, I figured I’d revisit my college days throwing together electronic stuffz.

It’s called In The Garage…only because I’m not clever. I made it in GarageBand.

Enjoy.

Groovy – btw, just my opinion, but I had to look around to figure out where the comments link was – may want to move the comments tag under the content … or u may be losing community discussions. Then again, Janaki found it!

@Fred, thanks man. I’ve had that “comment” thought several times. I think I’m going to be launching a “re-tweak” of my design anyways in the next few days so…

hehehe.

Russ, I I just need to borrow an ounce of your talent! When I open Garage Band, I usually sit and look at the screen, saying, uhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Great sound!

@Toby: thanks a ton. GB is all I’ve got right now, so I try to make the best of it. One day I’ll be as blessed as some of the other guys around here that have pro tools rigs or studios in their houses etc.

Yay for electronic noodling – you know I love :)

And depending what you’re doing, sometimes being able to make GarageBand do what you want it to is more clever than tweaking loads of stand alone synths ;)

Cool! Fun to listen to Russ.

I am yet to use Garageband altho Dave has inspired me to. It just does not seem to be the pressing need in my life at the moment. (sigh) It is great to hear others creations. Thanks for sharing.

@David: Thanks for the comment! Back in my college days I did all my noodling in Cakewalk on an Kurzweill K2500 (on a mac setup). The “lab” we had to work in was awesome!

@ Cee: thanks for stopping by to listen!

Yeah your comments should go under the topic, I slapped my head, (yes) trying to find the ‘comment’ link.

That was a cool song.
