Things That You Can Make A Room Full of Vintage Keyboards Do

This is the backing track to a song that was never used, written on spec for a label artist. Basically, I go into a little room, build an entire track, and the artist then tries to write lyrics to go with it, in order to get a songwriting credit on their record. This one sat in the drawer forever, and I just pulled it out the other day. Everything on here is some old quirky tweaky keyboard being run through a bunch of processors (except the strings, drums, bass). Fender Rhodes, Jupiter 8, Arp Omni, Mini Moog, Wurlitzer, Korg PolySix, Farfisa Soundmaker, fun stuff!

Enjoy!

Wow, smooth. Very nice stuff.

I assume since it's posted here that you don't mind if we share this with others?

nope, if it's here, it's public.

I better not hear it on the radio in 6 months though, unless I'm getting sent royalty checks!

Unfortunately, smooth, I think it's too good to make it on radio these days.

Maybe if you laid in an auto-tuned vocal by a busty pop-tart.

Nice track, Smooth. I, too, envy you.
