I started this track the day after the Tricky concert I think, but it was just a collection of a few ideas. Loaded it up last night and added some keys, random vocal ad-libs and gave it some kind of structure. It's ended up sounding less like Tricky or Massive Attack, and more like Portishead to me, dunno what you guys think.
I'm happy with the overall sound of things. It might be a little bit busier in the arrangement than some of the stuff it's inspired by. I don't think I've gone overboard though, have I?
This is a bit of a blend between live jam and loop-based arrangement. The guitars are a series of different loops I recorded and arranged on the playlist. The keys were played as a full take over the length of the song, and I just cut it in a few places. The drums are pretty simple, and based on a basic loop on purpose. But if you think they're a bit boring and need a bit more variation let me know. They're not the same from start to finish, but not hugely varied either.
Vocals were ad-libbed, and I'm not sure if I'm going to leave them like that or not. Your thoughts appreciated.
