Just A Ride (Bill Hicks Tribute)

I'm currently ill at the moment and giving up smoking, so I'm unable to sing for a while, with that massive restriction I decided to just work on a instrumental with the intention of laying some vocals over it when I've recovered.
Another intention of mine was to produce a song in the style of Moby, I'm a massive fan of his work and wanted to create a song that had a electronic vibe.

However once I was finished with the track I couldn't just leave it on my laptop. So I pondered on a solution to finish the song without using my voice and then I suddenly remembered that Moby samples sounds from films and other media formats, with this thought I mind I choose to make to sample one of my idols, the stand up legend that is the one and only Bill hicks.

For those who do not know him, he is a comedian that broke boundaries by not just making the audience laugh, but also introducing new ways of thinking when dealing with contemporary issues in society, which ultimately left the audience at the end of his shows happy and that little bit wiser.

I hope I've achieved the Moby sound
And sorry it's Short
This is my tribute

Dion McVey

P.S, I also sampled a whale because I think they are awesome =]
