@WoWanate Havent played with synths for a while.. Low pass filter, slow attack, quick decay and a slight pitch bend on the release. Prolly with portmento/glide on too.
I love this! It's vaguely reminiscent of your older songs, with the sound clips of the drums, which I absolutely adore. Keep up the good covers, Jack! :)
This.... wasn't that good. Normally Jack has the ability to turn shitty songs into greatness when he covers them, but I guess the level of shittiness of the original was just too much to account for.
@Zer00Sum Check out Lauren King's version of this song - on a different tack to Jack but def turned shittiness to greatness imho, "lauren king et" in the YouTube search box should find it. No video as such but you only need to listen to it !
This is great! Jack, do you have to deal with long render times in Final Cut when working with HD video? Thanks in advance for your response and keep the videosongs-a-comin'! :)
I'd love to hear you remix some Imogen Heap song. This kind of reminded me a bit of some other remixes of her stuff, but you always do better remixes/mashups than the vast majority. =3
At least people won't comment about your hair or beard. I think you made a good point, weather you meant to or not. It's not about how you look, it's about what you do.
You should definitely keep making full length, original songs. I know you've got to be spreading yourself thin, trying to compose a song, make AND edit a vid every week, while at the same time keeping up with pomplamoose and original stuff. We really appreciate it!
Next album: Electronica, Technoesque stuff like this, please. I love everything you do, with its jazzy flavor or orchestral mixes, but a bit of space-age badassery to get me pumped would be wonderful. Even "instrumentals only" would suffice!
....It sounds good. I don't remember what the original song sounded like, and I don't really care to. Not because I hate Katy Perry and all things mainstream like a lot of people seem to hate, but mostly because...I don't remember liking the song.
But this is good. Even if I can't recognize the music as Katy Perry's.
@TankShock087 I dunno - they usually take crappy songs and make them good. That one's already pretty sweet. That said, I still gave this comment a thumbs up :P
You turn some stupid mainstream song I hate into something interesting. I'd like to see something different like from Radiohead or something along those lines I guess. It would be interesting to see how you go about it.
@JohnTheFaun Have you already seen his covers of The National Anthem and Exit Music (mash-up with Chopin)? It's kind of some of his early work and it's really great
THANKS A LOT JACK FOR THE MUSIK ALIEN, IS LIKE A RING TO MY FINGER.....BECAUSE A HAVE 39 YEAR TO STUDY "UFO & ET LIFE AT EARTH" THANKS AND MORE MORE. ANOTHER...ANOTHER ENCORE.....GREETINGS TO NATALY FROM MEXICO " SHALOOM 2012 !!!""
Hell, those aliens sure knows how to make music! :)
But seriously Jack, this music (and esp. the last beat with the references to other videos) is REALLY good - have you ever thought of making more electronic music (such as On Planets)? I think you're really onto something here - its not easy to find something smart and innovative in the electronic scene (i.e, the minimal techno genre)...
