This is a delving into my love of the bass and how not to play it
its just a big guitar so why not play it like that!!!
cut up some drum n bass beats and played em back into live to add extra gusto and manicness
then found some 70's break beat samples with weird rolls and crowd noises
and then attacked the bass, firing as many riffs and fills into ableton as i could
then just jammed it all as a composition
added guitar and found some horn samples to squeeze into the right key
gets a bit dull in the middle, but will work on it, when you start hectic where else do you go to!!!

Its coming....
It's coming... by tomcook
I don't really know what this track is, its sort of electro pop, with vague non vocals, a mid section that has a dark muppet stomp feel to it and then a kinda poppy ending ....... hmmm kept me quite for a few hours though.....
i do kinda like its weird menace and the bass sound, am i saying drink of water in the middle i really don't know!!! maybe it could be a late night cantina band track. But yeah i do like the way the bassline changes key for the end and the vocals stay the same brings a happy contrat to it all.....
see through tabasco

Copernicus's Centre
Copernicus's centre by tomcook
Todays task was to use the orchestra without drums and rhythm, to turn off the click and create something fluid, progressive and emotive. Found some space for the clarinet and flute sections, really like the atmosphere they bring.
A lot of dodgy notes about and my timpani crescendos are hilarious but its a sketch.....
Will maybe ut it all together sometime, maybe expolre some electronica in their for gaming zones.
Cheers to you all.....

vigorous disciplines
Arise from the mire by tomcook
I was sat there thinking can i write game music, filmic military pieces that try to give you awe and dread and all that shabazz
so i started latering up huge brass riffs, snares, i found timpani's and suspended cymbals (nice didnt know i had em), tried to get a feeling of woe and military grandeur, and then had to put some glockenspiel in just to ruin it all.
But kinda enjoyed the whole process, need to go back over it, expand the riffs so its less repetitive, and remove all the mistakes!! But thought it was worth a swift bloggup, will write a few more and post em soon.
Cheers chaps, pip pip, johnny wilco riley, fanta crescendo!!! good name for an album there i think riley fanta crescendo it may become my new catch phrase.........must tinker on
