Whassup Peeps. So, this is an experiment, and my effort to join all the fresh dope kids out there using Bandlab and samples to mix some phat, dope and fresh beats on their phones with the rest of my homies and besties. I am going to post this on the Bandlab app to see if I get any props and smacks and best new besties who will help me keep on keeping it real. I did the first draft on my phone while my wife was driving the car and I was using the Bandlab App. NIGHT ON THE BEACHhttps://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs4/night-on-the-beachBy the way, this doesn’t have any type of standard chord progression: it is meant for clubbin’ and dancin’ and other stuff and going into a hypnotic trance, useful for many and various human activities. Free your mind and the rest will follow. Now so you know this is legit: I downloaded the free Bandlab app on my phone. Then I learned how to use it and found me some musical bling and some swag and more fresh beats with a dope 2 chord prog. I was all in by then dawg, home slices and ladies. So, I went to Bandlab on their Web App and found my phone song, and used the web DAW to stretch out my beats and add some more dope beats and loops. Then I went to Cakewalk by Bandlab and inside the Cakewalk by Bandlab DAW it let me pull in my web-based Bandlab project into my very own mixing template. Phat and Dope Y’all! THEN, I exported the Bandlab files to my desktop, opened BIAB and imported the Bandlab chord prog midi file. BIAB saw it was Dubstep and yelled at me through the speakers: “Put me in D! This is legit! I got some Dubsteps and loops for ya my brotha! For real! Put me in! Let me bust a groove!” So I did, and then I added me some Davy D guitar and some Davy D piano bangin' free style and old school from back in the day. Well, I guess the rest is history. I have changed my name to BandMaster D, and I will be hangin’ with my tribe. Looks like I also have my first NY gig this weekend at a hip hop club opening for Grace Jones!! Wish me luck!!

David, Love this. A worthwhile experiment. Some awesome layers and an excellent mix. This is Grace Jones approved! ![[Linked Image from media.giphy.com]](https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExbGtidjBpcHd6MDM2b2hhZmdqb2Jod2ZpbGI0ZTFjcHVkc21hZjZnOCZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/xTsyk29oBzqBG/giphy.gif)

David, worthy payoff for your experiment…very impressive! I liked the soundscape that you created. I think it’s got to be a little unnerving to go “chord less”—I’m not sure I could do that! Glad I decided to listen!

Yo, BandMaster D! Whassup, G? That Night on the Beach track is... something else, man! I see you went full-on sonic explorer wit' dat Bandlab hustle. From phone vibin' to Cakewalk cookin' to BIAB bustin' out Dubstep threats – you a true digital ninja, fam! That Davy D guitar and piano bangin' bringin' that OG flavor to the mix, for real. 😎
꧁𓊈𒆜𝓟𝓻𝓸𒆜𓊉꧂
Grace Jones gig?! Word! That's a major come-up. Just remember: stay true to that BandMaster D sound, keep the energy high, and don't forget to drop some bass that'll shake the whole block. Go get'em, my dude! Much respect for pushin' the boundaries. You always keep me keen the way you keep it fresh. Sick!! 👋 ✔️ 👍

Well done, David. A whole new world is opening up to you. Good luck with your concert, but Grace Jones should be your opening act.

Davey D.... I can always count on you being on, or at least close to the cutting edge around this forum.
Very cool experiment. If you did this in the car on your app, I'm hoping Gail was driving but if not that certainly explains a lot. 😜.
It's interesting how you combined BB with this.
My only question about this conflagration of musical mayhem would likely echo the words of the famous Robert Plant.... "Has anyone seen the bridge? Where's that confounded bridge?"
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi, David. From the description, I expected some pounding beats. Instead, I got wave after wave of synthy sounds, splashing into me like a relaxing night on the beach. "Wave after wave" - I'll give you that title for free! It's always interesting to hear where your musical imagination takes you!

Well, BandMaster D., I must say you do your tribe much goodness here. This is different for you, but there is one thing that it shares with your other work: your cool creative mind. This BandLab thing is just the start of what you can do there. Tell Gayle to keep drivin'. We need more of these. ---Although I was happy when Walking Country played right after it.

It suggests the need to ingest what would be best to make one feel blessed when it's your all that you gave to light up the rave.
Thick n thin, texture and taste...glow stick anyone?

Love the textural journey you're taking us on here, David. Especially love the subtle piano work. Definitely soundtrack worthy.

Man this is dope
A great experiment from the subconscious mind of a musical wizard.
This may not have been in your comfort zone but you did a fantastic job on it.
May I suggest that you compose more often when riding along with your wife.

Hmh, from the title of the thread (beats and stuff suggest RAP) and your post I was expecting something more like Drake, and got something that sounds like Nu-Disco or so to me. Leaves me a little disappointed. But, reading through your post again, I think you have the right lingo, you could well be a rapper. Lyrics have always been your greatest talent anyway. So why not go one step further and turn it into a real rap song? A kick sample and a preferably sub-sonic synthesizer bass sample and Autotune is all you need to give Drake a run for his money. And don't worry about chords, one chord is more than enough for all the songs on your first album. I believe in you, MC Dave ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

David,
What an interesting experiment.
I'm amazed at what people manage to do with loops, these days.
The biggest asset to using them is imagination, I think and you have that in truckloads.
If anyone can work out how to massage loops to achieve the best possible music, I'd bet on you any day of the week.
I hope you keep on experimenting.
All the best,
--Noel

Well from the sound and the waveform it’s obvious you got the genre compression thing down. New age goes dope! The mashup of mashups. What an experiment that must have been — lotta forethought and keyboard effort we would reckon. You da experimental man. Keep those wheels turning, Fun, J&B
