Driving the Autobahn

[Laguna Rising]

  this is not my usual kind of music, but I couldn't miss the chance to produce my own version of the popular Autobahn series.

L.R.,

I relish in the fact that the Autobahn theme has become a regular institution around hear...this is too cool!

About your song; the frantic drum track is thematic,but there's no low end punch to it and there's no bass track either-which to be quite honest is disappointing,because this piece could really go places if it wanted to.

As it is,it's weightless and sounds unfinished...any chance you might re-vamp it?

Sorry to be a kill-joy,but that's my own personal take on it.

Hi LR

I like the chiptune sound of it.

@thom : this is a real chiptune song. The name chiptune comes from the Comodore 64 times, where music for video games was made using the internal music chip SID. The SID had not that many possibilities but as it stand now, it is still a very popular music genre, mostly in the tracker scene where a lot of people make chip tunes. So the absence of bass or low end is normal in that kind of songs.

Very entertaining...and a nice melody too!

The tonal selections in this tune remind me of Asian and European performance cars with a relatively small displacement and very high revolutions per minute.

Thom and I are more accustomed to eight very large pistons thundering away at low frequencies

no low end punch

I did a weird kind of bass track but that cheap-chip/electro sound is buried and not much upfront, but it works for me because it adds the atmosphere I was after, yes, of course it lacks bass freqs punch...
I don't know, maybe I can try something different...  ...Autobahn music never ends... 

this is a real chiptune song

Thanks ! I'm glad my adventure (far from my usual stuff) went well

A southern European Autobahn I'd say

<mutter> damn fast cars<mutter>

@Oren
If you want 'very large' you should see the 5 cylinder ship diesels in the Dover harbour refueling bunkers.

My employers do some work there occasionally - which usually means me, as only a couple of us can stand the noise, fumes and motion without turning green.

 Will,

Automotive mechanics was a hobby for me. My wife and I hotrodded Volkswagen Beetles for entertainment... and to get us around the eastern half of the continent at extreme speeds . (of late I've lost the taste for mechanical transportation of any kind )

I have looked at some of the big marine diesels down here at the Victoria harbour with trepidation. Massive!

[Laguna Rising]

Do you mean Victoria BC ?
I love that place.
well... it's a bit off-topic here (unless we try to compose music about driving the HWY # 1 up to Nanaimo)
I had a lot of fun visiting the coastal area Ladysmith, Cowichan, been near Shawnigan lake and I did some hiking, Pitch & putt at Duncan (iirc)
Next sparetime there I'd like to see Tofino and the pacific coast.

This picture was taken last summer

Cheers

[Oren]

Yo!

You can spit to my apartment from there - I walk by it every day to and from work!

Do you live on the west coast?

(this is a photo of Beacon Hill Park in January - we tend to cultivate the less populated areas of town, but this spot is less than half a kilometer from the Legislative Buildings where your's was taken )

[Laguna Rising]

Oh yeah, I remember Beacon Hill Park, going downhill south, there's a HUGE totem pole on the left, and you can see the Olympic mt far on the other side of the strait in a clear day.

Oh no, I'm moving a lot these days, tossed around to earn an almost decent living, biz trips  ...but I'm staying in Italy atm, up north near Switzerland, the Alps, Lake Como, Bellagio, etc... ...and Milan's not too far south

Knowing that, we can have a beer in BC capital next time I'll hang around

Cheers

[Oren]

Beer it is....
