Spoooooky Samples (Doctrus original) – Popular vote winner (Chosen by Indabamusic)

Sadly Indaba is no longer with us to quote Indaba: ‘The Indaba Music community is made of 1.2 million music producers – from emerging artists to Grammy Award winners. We are committed to giving musicians the tools, resources, and opportunties they need to create music in the 21st cenutry.’

Had great fun making these!  Won popular vote for these creepy sounds! I produced some introduction sounds, that were a short run showcasing the samples, creepy noises. Followed by 3 x beat loops (using those samples). Then, recreated all the samples wet (haunting effects reverbs to increase the fear), followed by all the samples dry. Hope you like them!

Dodge the Blue Funk (Doctrus original)

My music writing tends to be very organic and abstract, influenced by many genres, but outputs are often Electronica in nature. Inspired (and containing a fair number of samples) by the Converse Rubber Tracks Sample Library: IHEARTCOMIX All-Stars Session, this ended up becoming an Electronica Trip-Hop fusion. Enjoy!

Funky road (Doctrus original)

Wanted to create a funky jazzy track and blend the bass played by both the wonderful Anna Sentina and Brandon Eugene Owens (Samples courtesy of the Converse Rubber Tracks Sample Library). I’m influenced by many, predominately Electronica artists. The result is an Electronica, Jazz and Funk fusion.

Subaqueous (Doctrus original) Popular vote winner

Sadly Indaba is no longer with us to quote Indaba: ‘The Indaba Music community is made of 1.2 million music producers – from emerging artists to Grammy Award winners. We are committed to giving musicians the tools, resources, and opportunties they need to create music in the 21st cenutry.’

This track was inspired from samples provided by Astro Nautico (Converse Rubber Tracks Sample Library). My music writing tends to be very organic and abstract, influenced by many genres, but outputs are often Electronica in nature. Really like how this merged into a watery theme with sonar like sounds and ripping guitars. This came out as a popular vote winning original track from me… Enjoy!

Summer nights (Doctrus original)

This song was written entirely from scratch, using a midi keyboard, VSTs in Ableton Live 9, and my own recorded samples. …It was written specifically for this competition! I’ve gone for a fun and slightly funky summer song, with a catchy beat.
