ambient triphop

heyo

so, unfortunately, boomp3 seems to be down, so I can't post my track, but I'll describe it, and if you find yourself salivating for more, email me and I can send you the mp3.
The track has 5 fundamental parts: the drum loop, the cello, the rhodes piano, the 303, and the sitar. These are made from a total of 8 samples. The drum loop is cobbled together from samples of a snare, open hi hat and closed hi hat from three loops on free-loops.com, and the kick drum is actually a recording of the subwoofer of a car going by -- it seemed appropriately lo-fi for the genre.
The piano line is based on a three-chord jazz progression (I think this was originally a 4-bar loop, but since I cut it up beyond recognition anyway, I don't think it matters. I imported it into reason as a simulated rhodes electric piano, and played some close chords and melodies (all within 7 semitones), which gives it a nice dark feel.
I took a sample of a cello playing a legato note in Bach cello suite 1 in G, and used that as the template for my cello section, which plays only a and e throughout the piece, providing a stable foundation. I removed some of the bowing noise by compressing the sample and running through an eq, which gives it a cleaner tone, then I dirtied it by downsampling.
I found a really cool 303 acid loop on free-loops.com, but it was a little busy, so I could only sample out some pretty short notes. I used this to emulate a 303 on the NNXt, and played a little bouncy bass rhythm to give the track a little more texture and trippiness.
Finally, I sampled a sitar droning on and then applied a filter which I manipulate throughout the track to make it a little more space-y.
there is no vocal track, because I was unable to decide what I wanted the vocals to be -- my top choice right now is a loop I have of a female jazz singer scatting, but I was having trouble making work in any way other than the original loop. I'll keep playing with it, and maybe by the time boomp3 can host tracks again, there will be a vocal part added.

Also, if anyone knows of other sites on which I could host stuff, please let me know.

Thanks,
