Tony Thai - Ghost Town Funk (from: Sample Pack Contest IX: Halloween Edition)
This is my entry for Sample Pack Contest IX: Halloween Edition. More info here: https://spc.beamsaber.com/9.html
Sample Pack Contest is a fun music-writing competition where participants make music using only the samples submitted to the contest. Check out the rest of the songs here: https://samplepackcontest.bandcamp.co...
I've known about the Sample Pack Contest series ever since it started back in 2005 on the VGMusic.com forums but never actually entered. I thought the silly jokey vocal samples were too hard to use at the time. After finally entering, I managed to place 1st out of 71 entries! ヽ('ヮ' )ノ This tune originally started as an unfinished 20-second tune I wrote back in May of 2018. It had a weird melody so I had to come up with a new one. For the rest of the song I wrote the chord progression first and then tried jamming out a melody on the keyboard. I had fun extracting usable sounds from the submitted samples and creating that soundscape at the beginning. I also discovered new ways to isolate specific sounds buried within other sounds using AI.
If you want to hear how some of the sounds were created from the source samples go to: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l22itokcrh...
This YouTube upload is a bit late for Halloween but the songs were originally released on October 30th.
Hopefully I'll have time to enter SPC X.
