Alright, got myself a new rig, a shiny new MacBook Pro :D. Fingers crossed it's a good one.

Tonight though I was mostly exploring the new bad sound city plugin, seeing how extreme the sounds can be, and on drums especially they can be pretty extreme! Not sure it's sounds I would use much of but it's fin to try stuff out and go outside of my comfort zone

You get better and better at about everything from writing and playing to producing. This track is really cool.

One question about the Sound City plugin. Why do you say it's bad?

I think you made it sound very good.

Cheers,

Very "medryckande"!

Great guitar work wit the delays.

Is this the dotted 8th thing I've heard so much about?

Very cool tune with lots of great guitar sounds.

I was surprised as I was (due to the title) expecting a slow and smooth tune.

Quote from Joptunes

Very cool track. Horn stabs remind me of Toto as well

Thanks you, Joptunes!

I admit to having listened very much to Toto since the first album.

Great dialog between the guitars & the key horns, very 80's , well done !

I still dig that lead tone of yours a lot ,& a great phrasing

Thanks, Renaud!

The 80s horn thing was very intentional, so I'm happy someone noticed.

Calm and groovy brother Mats!

I too never know when music will come but it often comes when I'm on the toilet -- which pretty much explains my mixes.

Thanks, BT!

I often get ideas when I'm out for a walk or in the shower.

This place is a goldmine for me as I always find something interesting and educational.

Like this very tune!

I'll repeat what I wrote in my post to your other tune. It is not easy to play a combined sound like that cleanly so my hat's off to you, Sir!

BTW, that looks like my old Suhr.

Cheers,

Mats N

Very nice blend!

It takes some skill to play like that so you have my respect.

Very nice song!

I used to write songs a sing them. I miss doing that.

Cheers,

Mats N

Great song!

I echo Per's words.

Cheers,

Mats N

I thought I don't like this kind of music, but I love this track!

Time to reevaluate myself.

Cheers,

Mats N

As always, a very cool tune.

As always, so rewarding to hear my rigs in other context than my own.

Cheers,

Mats N

I never know where the idea for a tune will come from. In this case it was from a former school friend who is now an art teacher. She painted a painting saying "keep calm and be groovy". I realized that these words very much described how funk music is when it's at its best. So I just adapted the words for the song title and wrote this. So thanks to Jill St. George for the inspiration.

Guitars used were a James Tyler Classic and a James Tyler Studio Elite.

Bass was a Sire MM V7.

Hope you'll enjoy it!

Cheers,

I definitely get some Beatles vibes from this tune. Well done!

Per is going to Motown!

There's a very infectious groove embedded in here somewhere. Hard to isolate but it instantly connected to my feet.

You are the undisputed master of everything I can't do.

I wanted to play with cross tonalities and sculpting a lo-fi sound just on the tracks rather than anything on the master.

Don't ask me why (as I don't know) but I think this sounds like a soundtrack for a French movie. This is not an insult.
