Donglekong & Zfigz - The Day Job

Release

StoreTags: monomachine, zfigz, donglekong, monome

Author: DongleKong on July 02 2008

--> I've heard this too much now, but I think I'll feel guilty if I leave it as is, even though I kind of want to...what do you guys/gals think? Too short? More drums? Eh?

This started out as a jam session the Zfigz and I had. I think he was using a monome midi sequencing app (molar? no, probably not...), with Zebra as the thing being sequenced. I was using the trusty Monomachine. Then I let the stuff sit on the HD and later added other bits of sounds I had, chopped, edited, added new parts, etc.

As always, any comments, and/or crits are super welcome...

Pretty sweet, I like it. Some interesting tones, I like the chordal patterns.

Groovy, definitely interesting to listen to.

a great jam. love the mario coin-flipping sound. kinda convoluted melody line works well.
a great listen. the repetitions are variable in a very engaging way (chord changes) i think.

i like it, good work. i think it could be longer, more variations. i wouldn't say it needs more drums, they would probably take away from the other stuff thats going on.

thanks man. yeah, i agree -- longer would be better; just not too much longer. one thing i'm really trying to do is not "wear out my welcome", so to speak. but yeah, somehow it seems like it needs to have a bit of time added.

again, i really appreciate the feedback.
