What's up, RMers?

[Kain Nobel]

I'm back from the trenches of the resource cold war with a brand new track!

"Surfside Groove (Draft)"

Written and Performed by Kain Nobel.
The guitar and bass are live recordings.
The drums were arranged in FL Studio.



I wouldn't consider this track finished but I'm very pleased thus far!

Notes on "Surfside Groove"

While this track was originally pre-written before I performed it, I still have 9 minutes of raw and uncut guitar and bass jam sessions recorded which all blends into this underlying theme.

It goes happy-cheery, it goes melodic, it goes low beat and super chill.

I have constructed early drumbeat scaffolding for some of these sessions and I've been chomping at the bit trying to transcribe some of the improv licks to tablature so I can replay and re-record it once they've been rearranged properly.

A couple bad slides, a couple bumbled notes and some very precious gold nuggets of licks in the raw recording session. And some crap. It's a mixed bag. I'm refining the gold and dumping the crap.

Could this split into 5 different tracks all following the same thematic pacing, chord phrasing and motifs? Quite possibly.

I've already done such a thing with another track where 1 split into 3; town -> dungeon -> boss all share a similar phrasing and patterns but are definitely not the same.

Other News

The soundtrack is coming along very nicely. Material is getting wrote, live recordings are building up, things are being transcribed proper.

...I'm holding back the urge to upload and share my battle theme... it's pretty FIRE!

None of the other stuff from the album is available online, but you can find some of my older tracks on my SoundCloud page.

Most of the old tracks on my page are eligible to be redone with live instruments (but I haven't decided if I'll be revisiting any of them.) I forgot how funky some of these turned out, some of these I haven't heard in years!
