Making Beats

Take THIS

[Orang Goreng]

I was up "drumming" in Addictive Drums all night. Again a bit from my sketchbook... I've shared the exact same bars before, when it was just an idea. Now it's slowly taking shape. Originally I made a rather plain rhythm track, then I recorded the other ideas. I ended up drumming live to the recorded instrumental tracks, which at least in my mind greatly improved the feel, in part due to my sloppiness. So now I'm slowly starting recording (i.e. doing all the tracks over, learning the parts properly in advance). It's just the drums for now, obviously the organ and guitars have to be re-done. But I like it. This would be my style of drumming if I could actually play drums.

Cool, will check them out!

Caribou plays live with two drummers so that's some compliment!

But most the recorded stuff is just Dan Snaith alone meticulously doing the same thing as Orang.  I think Dan did that last album with something ridiculous like two total mics...


Ah here is the article.  You have to hear Andorra all the way through on a nice system or with headphones to fully appreciate what a good job he did on that album.

Myspace is playing up again. I see their songs playing but I hear nothing, while other things still play on my system, so my sound shouldn't be fucked. I'll give it a rest and try again later.

The loose screw in my head somehow reattached itself, so I got the luminous idea to check them on YouTube instead. Wow! I really like them. Can't believe I never heard of them before.

(Actually, sort of the same thing happened with Echobelly in the early 90s. I read a review of my band, and the wirter said we reminded him of them. Checked them out and loved them!)

Anyway, thanks!

I didn't know the guy did all of it, that's awesome! Quite inspring as well. I really like the sound of that album, it has a really spontaneous feel to it.

Check out this min-documentary on the recording of that album.  He said he used 670 tracks on the recording of that album which deserves a

Cool video  , really interesting to see someone make such a great sounding record with a basic home studio setup. Inspirational!
