I simply want to give you the credit you are due. Your work changed my perceptions of what is/was possible in music and music production. For that I want to thank you. If anyone deserves elevation and respect for their work, it's you. Thank you for being an innovator and uncompromising.
Now on to a question. In the Garbage song "parade" (which is in my top songs of all time playlist), what is the instrument that provides that spanky strum in the intro? It sounds like a sampled guitar that was chopped and replayed on a drum sampler (MPC/etc...)....if my description is to vague please let me know and I will try to articulate better. That tone is a benchmark for me.
Again much respect to you for what you do. It's my dream to have you on one of my projects someday. Hopefully this latest project will garner the budget and interest to get you on-board.
Thanks and Respect,
Ari M.  |
That's a good list! I'll settle for 3rd place!
You are right about the start of Parade...we recorded acoustic and electric guitars and put them into the MPC 1000 to get that chopped feel!
