The real story behind the saying "ez peasy..."

Three friends — a lemon, a potato, and a pea — go out drinking and decide to roll down a hill to get home.

The lemon has a rough ride and ends up feeling sick, but the pea wants to do it again.

The potato looks at the pea and says:

“Easy peasy — lemon’s queasy.”

Ingredients:

Frame Drum I just got from bro

Tongue drum

Damage percs

Metal trinkets, cookie tin and other crap

Queasy slide guitar, bass

Keys

I started playing this queasy riff on slide acoustic and thought Ill take this turd and polish it up real nice and then annoy some people on WB. So then I added a bunch of other stuff and here we are.  Pretty useless tune but it was a good exercise in using Reaper regions and tweaking a lousy tune into something slightly less lousy. If I revisited this I can see where some editing and allowing parts to breathe would make it better but Im out of time and this just isnt worth any more effort.

Also, serves as a kind of expression of how I feel about the world now and where its headed.

Busy week, busy weekend. Not finished by any means! Im going out of town for the weekend so I submitted in case I didnt make it back home before the buzzer. I will probably try to develope this more later, I feel like its going in the right direction. More excited to hear everyone else's tunes!

First submission! This started as a jam, and I dared myself to make it cohesive enough for a submission. Enjoy(?)!

Another week, another LSDJ tune!  This week marks the halfway point on the concept album.  5 tracks down, 5 to go.   In keeping with the elementary particle theme, this week is the Higgs Boson, also known colloquially as "The God Particle", which was discovered at the CERN Large Hadron Collider last decade!   The Higgs Boson links to other particles and has to do with the Higgs Field, which is what gives particles their mass -  hence the cheeky title, which also fits because this is a drumnbass tune.

I don't set out to incoporate other genres and musical styles into my music before I start making a tune.   Usually that kind of thing just happens as I'm making it.   This tune is a drumnbass tune with a heavy flamenco influence in the lead melody parts.   I used to play Spanish classical guitar for many years and have listened to a lot of classical guitarists and flamenco artists over my life so I guess it just naturally found its way into this.   Also the progression is kind of flamenco inspired as well, though I just wanted something descending in a minor key, at first.

There's a grimy bass at the intro and a drone that plays some harmonies and chords to create a dark introduction.   Then the melody kicks in.   You can hear those fast note runs associated with flamenco guitar especially in the second melody and solo.  The bass gets a little amped up after a while in a Squarepushery fashion.   There are some stops and starts and there is even a fake echo section later in the song after some staccato arps.   Happy with how this one came out - it captures the implied heaviness of the Higgs Particle.

Thanks, as always, for listening!

This is one of those frustrating Weekly Beats tracks that I spent too much time on but it didn't quite come together. It feels too good to throw it all away and try to bang out a track in a couple of days, but it also doesn't feel quite good enough for submission. Maybe it was the 6/8 time signature. Oh well.

Ended up as kind of a mashup between a southern murder mystery and a dilapidated sci-fi colony ship.

This week we have the Ableton Move and the Mini Freak working together. Originally this track was composed on the Move and then exported into live where I swapped out the bass and some synth lines for the Mini Freak. I guess I'm using the Move as intended this time around. The main synth riff was a total stream of consciousness done in two passes, first pass being a proof of concept, and the second being the result you hear here. I am not a keyboard player by any means, but sometimes I just don't want to stare at a piano roll for hours. Ran the whole track through an analog filter for some dirt. Hope you enjoy.

This week feels surreal to me. I've been wanting to and chasing the sounds I made this week since I started this pursuit. I am beyond thrilled with the results.

This was all in Ableton done on my 7 string in drop G#, rhythm done on the neck pickup, lead on the bridge, bass parts were on my wife's gretsch short scale bass and the drums are the Urgitone plugin.

It requires a little bit of tweaking before it reaches its album release form, but I am super proud of how it turned out.

› Gear Details‹ Gear DetailsI almost never keep track of what I used on what but I want to change that. Guitar tone was Fishman Fluence Modern pickups into my Katana MK2 on the Crunch model (modeled after a Fender Bassman) set at mid gain with a Rat pedal, also at mid gain, into an octave pedal placed before the preamp. Of all the playing around I've done with the katana, the crunch channel and a pedal in front of it is the juiciest tones for doom and metal, it really seems to handle the low frequencies better. For the rhythm I EQ in a little more bass and lower the treble and middle a little bit, for the leads I do the opposite so they clash a little less especially considering its the same guitar doing both parts. The reverb was added in Abelton and it is the trusty Valhalla Supermassive.

Bass which is a double humbucker short scale bass, was recorded into my Katana again on the clean channel which I believe is modeled after a Jazz Chorus. I initially tried the bass section on my Squier Jazz bass but it really needed a setup and was just too big and too difficult for my guitar hands.

Drums are the Urgitone Modern Doom kit which have one of the worst interfaces I've ever had to deal with but sound fantastic. I took a while trying to get a solid grove going with them and I'm actually really happy with how the drum parts turned out (though I nitpick the drop and slow sections drums every time I listen)

Thank you for listening!
