about

Another Casio MT100 analogue drum preset - this time "Rock".

But to me, it sounds like hip-hop. Specifically, Walk This Way by Run DMC/Aerosmith.

I'd been messing around with a country guitar lick and then thought, why not do a kind of instrumental country version of Walk This Way?

I played the part as though it was a sample, but it's all done live, nothing's cut up.

There's also a second country-ish guitar part, and then some mad No Wave type guitar skronking.

Augmented the basic drums with hand-played kick and snare (Korg Volca Beats).

What sounds a little bit like scratching is in fact the Dr. Bleep Bleep Drum.

about

Synthetic Villains image

Synthetic Villains Lancaster, UK

Instrumental, mostly electronic music.

From the "experimental, slightly off-kilter" (Bandcamp New & Notable) synth-pop of the debut album to the "pulsing Berlin School synths" (Electronic Sound Magazine) of the latest albums, SV albums explore drones, repetitions, textures and riffs.

The 3rd album is over on Werra Foxma's Sub Club.
