I picture a big, fat duck being squeezed.

that guitar part in the middle was preyy freaky! This kinda reminds me of when i was younger, i played on my friends' electic piano.


Nice job!

Thanks.

The guitar part is a synthesizer (pretending to be a guitar) with FilterScape
(one of the stranger effect plugins) over it. This is my "wah pedal from hell"
sound.

Your making a duck seem cool! :)

Thanks

some cool noodling going on here - sounds like a banjo going through a bitcrusher with some synthpads. i like the execution of this. my main suggestion would be to work in a stronger rhythm track -- maybe a speedy "dance" version of a bluegrass bass snare beat (yes, I realize most bg doesn't have drums) but this could.

wayy out there-i like it. pretty straightforward from
beginning to end. maybe play with the song structure a bit
to liven up further? neat stuff

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

In the meantime I've cleaned up that bass a bit (but I can't upload, waiting for
the downtime to end :-(

Drums: that might actually work. I'll see if I can find some Drum 'n' Bass
loops. The problem is of course that this track has lots of 3/4, 5/4, 6/4
measures thrown in at arbitrary places. Hey, time for me to learn how to slice
loops.

Song structure: yeah, I know, this is pretty simple. On the other hand, I have
no objection to keeping the track at exactly 2 minutes. Short and sweet.

I think that you most certainly have a new and fresh
sound going here. Good choice of sounds, and their
combination is well done. I like the thought of a big fat
duck. Some of the guitar licks have a real modern jazz
mode to them. Mixolydian, or locrian or one of them there
modes. I am not sure if you learned it this way as I did,
the modes and jazz improv, but you may just learned it
through hearing. Either way good job with some really
cool scales and modern jazz sounding guitar lick. I
couldn't recommend a darn thing to do differently. Nice
Work!

There's a message in this song....tried playing it
backwards. I'm sorry..the duck thing just got me going
(kcauq kcauq).

Seriously, the sounds are cool, the guitar...jury still out
on that one...of course, some of Moby's music is too.

Damn that duck.

Interesting concept, just to many instruments.
Not a complete song more like an idea.

One bass, two guitars, pad..... That's all..... Minimal drum hits.

But yeah, it was just an idea.

Thanks for listening.

I think this is far worse use of electricity and time

Hey, to each their own. You put together meaningless loops, I put together
meaningless notes.

DukMan! I see this big round duck chomping at little
snails on the lawn, and every once in awhile a circling
hawk swoops down to snag the perpetually quacking
duck. Makes me want to go and write this video game
now. :-)

Absolutely. Beats me why this guy doesn't have a recording contract.

that fact that this song sucks may have something to do with it, just a guess
