Totally depressed ;)

Post by Gps »

I need to share some frustration with my friends.

I thought I would be the first to rip off, David McWilliams - Days Of Pearly Spencer, in a hip hop track. :P

LMMS can't truly sample but I had found a midi file, were I could get the loop from.

What loop? The violins starting at: 0.34

Sadly just found out, I wont be the first one to rip if off.

A track even from the 70 ties too, beat me too it. :shock: :(
Cerrone ( who ? ) - Supernature

And even a less old track:
Cappella - What I Gotta Do (1994) from 0:26s

sniff .. :wink:

On the bright side , I could be the first to rip it off using LMMS.

I am smiling about Cerrone.

He was nor afraid to get inspired by other artist. :lol:


Cerrone - Club Underworld

I recognized that instantly:

THE CROWN - GARY BYRD AND THE GB EXPERIENCE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epEQhxslprE

From the early rap / hip hop days.
The group released a single, "The Crown" on 23 July 1983 written by Gary Byrd and Stevie Wonder.[1][2] According to Byrd, it was the only release on Stevie Wonder's short-lived U.S.-based Wondirection record label (part of Motown Records) that celebrated African heritage in a motivational rap featuring both Byrd and Wonder.[3] Due to lack of sufficient promotion,[citation needed] it only reached number 69 on the Billboard R&B chart.[1] In the UK, it was released on the Motown label, entered the UK Singles Chart on 23 July 1983 at number 21, and rose to a high of number 6; it remained in the chart for 9 weeks.[4] It also reached number 7 in the Swiss Hitparade,[5] number 14 in the German GfK Entertainment charts[6] and number 21 in the Irish Singles Chart.[7]

The 12" version of "The Crown" ran for 10 minutes 35 seconds, making it one of the longest tracks ever to chart in the UK. It was written by Gary Byrd and Stevie Wonder, and presented a wide-ranging historical narrative of human progress (beginning with the ancient Egyptians and continuing to the present day) with an emphasis on African heritage. It featured spoken/rapped verses by Byrd, an American DJ, with one verse sung by Wonder and Crystal Blake. Byrd described the song at the time thus: "The idea is not that black, white or anyone is better, but that we all have our place. We've all made contributions - and mistakes too. Wearing the crown is reaching the top of your potential. You could be a writer or you could be a mechanic, but you can still wear the crown."[8]


I need to find a funk guitar plugin. :P
I am learning that all or close to all disco I really like, has definitely funk roots.

Then there is disco, that even by my standards should be prohibited.
Aqua - Barbie Girl

Ample guitar ? If only I knew for sure this will work in LMMS.
It even can strum.

I found this:

Cerrone Live At Montreux Jazz Festival

Wow, disco really sounds better life preformed.

I wonder if they are using a sample, or an synth arpeggio. (for the inspired by days of pearly spencer, loop)

The one part were I see the keyboard player suggest its a synth arpeggio. :P
