Rhythm

alec.james · 11-17-2008, 01:44 AM

Written and recorded between 2pm and 3:30pm November 16, 2008. Fool.

Dance to the beat
On your feet
Lose the shoes
Toss the sheet
Show the fools
Rhythm

The file is weird. It keeps opening winrar and not playing any music.

alec.james · 11-17-2008, 02:21 AM

it's zipped. lets see if i can upload a .wav now.

Edit- nope. for some reason, this is the only format i can upload in. you'll just have to actually use winrar.

That's a really good start to a pretty funky song.

Good work so far.

I look forward to it.

You probably can't upload it because it exceeds our maximum filesize of around 16MB. I recommend using .mp3 or .ogg for sharing in the music showcase. Wav's are just too big.

alec.james · 11-17-2008, 11:13 PM

Gotcha.

The wav is actually only 12.1, but I'll give mp3 a shot.

(wow- okay, you were right)

Stringbender · 11-18-2008, 11:20 PM

I Like it! It's got a great groove to it. Find myself nodding my head to the beat and the guitar riff is both technically different from normal rock-guitar riffs yet I can keep humming it after the song is over.
PS- I listened to the mp3 version and it worked fine- but it cut off too soon.
waiting for something to go over this- either some lyrics or some sort of transcendental instrumental melody (like almost a guitar or muted saxophone sound to give it a trance-like sound) . Just an idea. all-in-all sounds good.
also- the TIME you recorded this.. sounds like another case of "midnight music mania"..LOL

Actually, I recorded this in the afternoon, but insomnia is a big issue for me. You ever see fight club?
Pretty accurate, just not to that extent.
Anyway, as soon as I start getting some more rest, I'll slap a groovy tune over that and sing. I have the rest of the song written... I'm just a perfectionist when it comes to recording. If I don't get it just right in one try, I usually come back another time, probably to rewrite most of it anyway.

Wow, this sounds really cool !
Too bad it lasts less than 1 minute ! Make it longer and it will be perfect
