June 3, 201016 yr This is a short piece I made mixing some funk/rock with folk music of my country! It's made only for fun, nothing spectacular! Drums in the intro are little strange I actually played them on the keyboard so I was lazy to fix them later :) Funky Folk

June 3, 201016 yr Holy snap, funky bass intro! I love it, makes me want to whip out my bass to play along! Also, during the trumpet grace notes, the sample used is sort of choppy sounding. If you are going for a live performance, though, any decent trumpet player could do that section justice. As you mentioned, the drum intro *was* a bit strange, but for a keyboard play-along, I'm not complaining. Nice piece, Reverse!
June 4, 201016 yr Author Thanks for commenting guys! Well all the instruments are VSTi's except the trumpet that's sampled note by note and arranged in Halion, so it dont have velocity and the samples aren't looped, so they are a little raw... Anyway the grace notes are intended to sound choppy cos that's the way its played in folk music here! Cheers
June 5, 201016 yr Very nice piece, especially the trumpet theme, something oriental/middle-eastern. The ending was somewhat unexpected though, but overall, excellent music
June 13, 201016 yr I actually really liked the drum intro, it helped with the overall atmosphere. In fact I think the drum sound in the intro is a lot more funky, with rim shots and all, whereas once the groove kicks in it is more rock sounding with the double bass. I really love the clavichord sounding instrument; did you play that on the keyboard or program it? What nation are you from? The trumpet line does sound Middle Eastern, or perhaps Eastern European (it has some of that Russian dance flair to it). Do you have a transcription or some kind of indication of the chords you used? I've always had trouble with jazz-like chords beyond diatonic 7ths. How did you construct the chords, especially in the intro with the piano and bass interplay?
June 13, 201016 yr Author The wahclav is actually from Hypersonic 2! All of the tracks I played on a midi keyboard one by one, except drums that I programed... so I don' t have any notation! The trumpet theme is South-East European actually Serbian folk music! I can't find the project right now, but as I remember I picked up some simple chords and spiced them up like an improvisation! The chords are g min7, f major, e dim7, and d# maj! In the intro I just added randomly some notes from the scale to the every chord! So at the very start I used a chord on g with g, a, b flat and f (that will be g min7/9 or something? I m not very familiar with the chord markings When the beat starts there is also an C sus4 or something! If I somehow find the project file, I ll send you a midi
