Spirit
Here’s a mellow tune called Spirit that Richy Rist (of the Rists) any I created over a couple of rainy Sundays.
Geek stuff for anyone that cares: We created a few synth sounds with my Yamaha A3000 (a few mellow textures and one funky fat analogue screamer) and used them throughout tune. Guitar work was taken care of by Rich by recording directly into the A3000 for processing and triggering in Cakewalk Pro Audio 9. The beats at the beginning were programmed by hand from a single cut up loop while the latter beats were built from randomised sequences randomly selected!). The tune was finally mixed down in Sonar after treating the mellow synth part in the middle (to get rid of a nasty DC offset).
The tune also lives at a site called ampfea.org/sln which is host to around 500 tunes by many non-professional artists around the world, why not visit the site and listen to some of the other tunes. The standard of the material there is excellent
