May 17, 200916 yr Hey everyone, Here's my newest creation. I wrote it on a thursday, which in dutch is Donderdag. The exact translation of donderdag is Thunder Day.. There for the name! Its a more pop/rock like song. Please give me a comment!! Thunder Day Greets, Chris
May 23, 200916 yr you need some phat wailing out of control sax improv going on over the top of this. Wouldn't mind having a go :-) Nice
May 23, 200916 yr Author thanks ;) i will look into it... although my sax samples are just awefull... I really need to find some new ones... (I use Reason 4) Well, thanks for the comment!
June 1, 200916 yr It reminds me of the kinda music they use on the Tekken games :-) It's good actually - 2nd listen - it definitely needs that hook with a sax or another melodic instrument over the top though. If you want to send me a copy when I get time in a few weeks i'll have a blast over the top an show u what I mean - can just send me a small sample if you're worried about theft of ideas etc... In fact I've already got in my head what would sound great - some really beefy bari at the bottom register and really punchy sharp staccato alto melody/improv.
June 20, 200916 yr Nice tune. And yes, the way it is now, it's a good fit for a Tekken game or something :-) But it definitely needs a lead melody, if it's going to be more than that. Personally, I would prefer vocals over saxophone on this. I think sax might make it sound kind of corny. Though I've never really like sax in pop music anyway. I would write yourself some lyrics and a vocal melody, and you've got yourself a very nice early Radiohead style pop/rock song

Na come on Chris when ur ready send it to me..bring it on i'll show ya :-D I don't see this as pop anyway it's of a chilled out Funk pedigree if you ask me and funk + sax = marriage made in heaven :-)
June 20, 200916 yr Well funk + sax obviously :-) When you're done, I'd like to hear it. But I don't really hear funk in this song. I get more of a early Radiohead vibe. Or Beck or something. I guess it all depends what direction you want to take it. But I know I'd like it better with a singer (preferably male). Btw, don't get me wrong, I like sax. I'm a sax player myself. But not in pop, uch... :-)
June 20, 200916 yr Author Haha you guys! Well i'll give it to you tomorrow!! As a matter of fact... it started out as a jazz song... but it ended up more a bit rock like... So i guess... mix jazz with rock and you get a sort of rougher type of funk... The chord progression is absolutly funk... And for the bossanova bridge... i think thats just a confermation of the funk... So we'll upload it when its done! Greets
June 21, 200916 yr It's your piece, but I personally really wouldn't call it funk. It's funky, maybe, but not funk IMO. But like I said, you're free to take it in any direction you want.
