Instrumental Mind Control
Music that gives a feeling of sadness, which is an emotion characterized by feelings of disadvantage, loss, and helplessness.
Someone asked me to make a beat out of a song by The XX called Fiction.
He asked me to make it into a Hip Hop beat, and I have to say it came out a little different than that. But I can’t help but let the music take me where it wants to go, so this is what I came up with.
I saw no need to ruin the already beautiful music by The XX, so I didn’t slow anything down or manipulate anything too much. I really just added what I felt over top of the short clip from the song.
Enjoy!

This is a very short sampled organ and guitar instrumental that was made back in early 2011. It is a simple beat and doesn’t have much going on. There’s a few pauses in the beat and some pitch bending effects, but other than that is pretty straight forward. Great for an interlude or quick project.

This is a pretty old beat. I actually have an original recording of this that came out better than this version, but it got lost in the shuffle over the years. So this is the only other version I have.

This is a hip hop beat that has a relaxed feel to it. This beat also has congas in it.

The piano was played by klodsen (youtube.com/klodsen), which was a cover of an Imogen Heap song.
I was asked to try to make a beat with it, so this is my try. It’s pretty simple. There’s some bass in there somewhere.
Thanks again for listening.

I know the piano gets repetitive but I think the right words can turn this into a song. I have mix issues but I’m trying my best. Thanks for listening.

This was originally supposed to be on The R&B EP but it didn’t make it. A bit repetitive but came out ok. I like using effects, so you’ll hear some phasing in there somewhere. Smooth keys.

This is a sad guitar instrumental. A lot of feeling wrapped in such a simple beat.

This is the intro track for The Rhythm And Blues EP. It has weather sound effects throughout the instrumental. Thanks for listening!

This is a hip hop remix to the original song “More Than Words” by the band Extreme. I love the guitar riff so much. I just had to put a few drums to it. I see a lot of acoustic covers to the song so I thought a cool hip hop version would be nice. Tempo is in double-time. The faster tempo I feel has a better swing. I hope you enjoy.
Happy Holidays! Have a safe New Year 2012!
