An Ominous Noise

Another quick throw-together from a week or so back. I'm terrible with names for instrumentals but this is what came to mind. Maybe simply "Ominous" would have been a better choice. Anyway, here it is:

I changed just about everything from the original style (Doodad Ambient, etc.), except I kept the bass and original drums. I added two more drum parts and the lead guitar.


File:An Ominous Noise.SGU

Key=Am , Tempo 90, Length (m:s)=3:22

Style is _DOODAD.STY (Doodad Ambient RnB Synth Solo)

RealTracks in style: 2741:Bass, Synth, AltHipHopA-B Ev16 085

This sounds great - would be perfect for a Tarantino movie. Sounds awesome turned up loud - killer mix.

A good crisp mix and I'm liking what you did with the percussion.
To me it has a nice bouncy overall feel.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Very cool sound going on here Al. I wouldn't even know where to begin to try to put together an instrumental, and you are a master. Loved the guitar work was nice and I liked the percussion in there as well. The mix was terrific.

You are the man with the full on BiaB writes and productions.

It sounds great ... like studio musicians who've long been working together.

Those multiple drum tracks are amazing! Great choice on the solo RT also.

Most cool!

Alan,

Excellent.

You ALWAYS do a great job of putting together a solo guitar track!
(...and all the others sound great, too).

Excellent mix.

A bit of a Jeff Beck vibe to this - like it came right off one of his records.
Impressive.
Loved it.

Lovely textures added ---cool.

Lovey work. A cohesive instrumental and you always get the guitar tracks sounding like a solo rather than a bunch of licks.

Very nice.

Quickly thrown together as it may be, it sounds really good! The mix is powerful and crystal clear.

You've made an excellent choice with the Brent soloist (his RTs are always awesome).

Well done.

Love it. The driving rhythm, hypnotic beat, powerful mix with timely held chords for variation. It all makes for a great track - one that would fit well in a movie or TV.

HI Dan ...

You are much too kind. But thank you for the really nice comments. And your suggested title would work quite nicely, too! I may use it in one I;ve working on, as time permits for the past several days\. Again, many thanks!
