[Link no longer valid]
Been creating lots of different kinds of music lately. My newest obsession in Lo-Fi Hip Hop. Its more of a relaxing instrumental form of hip hop usually with some vocal or instrumental samples. I started this song out as a typical Lo-Fi song but it started getting a little funky. So I used BIAB to add in some funk guitar and an extra electric piano part.
RealTracks
2157:Piano, Electric Vintage, Rhythm Funky Groove

Other Instruments

Sammy, sure is different and interesting a bit trippy  Reminds me of some trip-hop bands from 90s. I like how you ended it. Thanks for sharing. Misha.

Pretty interesting track...
I see you've got 10 songs finished...
Will these be the ones you will submit to that music library in March?

Thanks for listening Rusty, Cuban, Will and Jim.
Yes Jim, some of the 10 songs I've done will be submitted to music libraries. I've been having a hard time sticking to one style during the first part of FAWM. I need to concentrate the second half of the month on one or two genres so I have an album to shop around.

Wow - this certainly makes for a unique and engaging listen! Definitely not the norm for the forums here, but I liked the off-kilter sound to it. A breath of fresh is oftentimes needed, and this definitely scratched that itch. Thanks for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

Well done Samuel, this was wonderful! The arrangement is a pleasure to listen to and the instruments are layered nicely. That guitar really does shred! Great work!

This is definitely different from a lot of the stuff we get on the showcase, but I rather enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to share it with us.

Thanks Scott, Deryk, Joe and Ember for listening. I know it's quite different from most the stuff in the showcase. Probably won't be very well recieved by the older musicians in the group who prefer more traditional styles of music, but it just goes to show that with a little imagination BIAB can create all styles of music.

Yes, Samual, just like the others said: It's different. It's unusual for the forum. It's unique. It's interesting.
And let me add: It's AWESOME ! A very enjoyable listen!
Cheers,
Stefan
