Song featuring Nord Electro 3...

[simonbeck]

Here's a song I wrote called "Genie". I recorded it at home on a Fostex digital 8-track, apart from the drums which were programmed in HammerHead 1.0 and arranged in Audacity.

Organ and Wurly are Nord Electro 3 73
Horn section is a Casio WK-3000
Bass is a Stagg electric upright
All instruments and vocals are by myself.

Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for sharing, nice! The voice is a bit low in volume in the mix so I miss some of the lyrics.
Are you using the electro 3 leslie simulator in the glissando at 1:34 or something different?

[simonbeck]

That's the internal Leslie simulator ramping up during the glissando.

Here are the lyrics:

Now we speak in abbreviations
With a hash-tag now and then.
We've killed the art of correspondence
'Cause the Tweet is mightier than the pen!

(chorus:)
And the Genie don't fit the bottle no more.
He don't wanna go back inside
And the bottle holds a message
Floating out there on the tide.

And the kids sit killing monsters
Trying to beat their highest scores.
They're beginning to look like zombies
'Cause they never go outdoors!

(chorus)
(instrumental break)

You can buy a ticket into space now;
You'll be able to clone yourself real soon!
And I've even got a gizmo
That'll help me sing in tune!

(chorus to fade)
