Matt - Slumber

1 April, 2008 - 22:34 — matt
  • Artist: Matt
  • Title: Slumber
  • Year: 2008
  • Length: 3:37 minutes (6.64 MB)
  • Format: Stereo 44kHz 256Kbps (CBR)

Something a bit different from my previous uploads once again. I really enjoy making a little story line with everyday life samples. I used about 15 unrelated sound effects from soundsnap to create the intro. I wanted to make an intro that fit the scene of track I was working on - I hope you find it as entertaining as I did making it! All the actual tracks instruments I recorded as midi tracks with various synth VSTs, and I made the drum tracks in Reason. The vocals are from a dj vadim ccmixter acapella. I chopped them up and added some effects to the vocals to make them fit my track. Love using some sweet female vocals over a dance type beat. This is my first track using an acapella from ccmixter, and I'll be back for more

pretty cool matt...that intro sounded so real....it didn't sound put together at all....amazing...you did a great job with the vocal as well....i would have liked to of heard a hard beat come in at the end to make it go to another level but it sounds nice as is....good job

Haha yeah cheers guys - thats right, the planets must be in alignment or something, for me to upload a couple of tracks within a week lol.

Yup Frank I was toying with the idea of stepping it up into a more intense drum beat etc, but I just wasn't feeling it, so didn't want to force it and just ended up staying with the existing chilled beat.

As soon as I heard that vocal acapella I could imagine how it would sound over this track I was working on, and thankfully it ended up pretty much what I had hoped for.

That sounded great bro. I agree with the guys. I loved the intro. Funky shite man! Has a nice electro pop feel to it. Some nice industrial sounding vibes eminating from this tracks core to my ears bro. Well done!

Nice one, has a bit of ninja tune sound to it. Also, like already said the intro is very nice, it fades well from walking to music.
