1 minute song in 10 minutes
31 Dec
Me and my brother are waiting to go to New Year’s parties….and I walked into his room and said, “Let’s see if we can make a song in 10 minutes.”
So with the stuff in his room we started going immediately:
1.) I first laid down the doumbek drumming track as Ashdin recorded it.
2.) My brother then free styled some guitar over the doumbek drumming.
3.) I then randomly started babbling some Arabic-sounding stuff into the microphone (so yes…the singing is me…no, I don’t speak any Arabic….and thank god for reverb effects!)
4.) My brother then laid down a bass track on the MIDI keyboard and mixed everything together.
TOTAL TIME TO MAKE: 10 minutes
You can listen to the quick song below….and HAVE A HAPPY 2012!!!!!
Ashdin & Nev – Made in 10 by Ashdin
Nice beat and Happy New Year Nev!
Why thank you :-)
well this is awesome! thanks ashdin. Happy new year!
Thanks for the article!!
Nev, that’s a cool little song. Do you just jam with your friends, or do you ever get a chance to perform live? You could have a rad light-show with all the House of Rave goodies.
I have performed live once during this:

…plus at the wedding I was practicing for.
We also did once have a “Balcony Performance” at my place with the lights :-)
