What makes George Clanton's Music So Nostalgic

[@brokenenglishprod]

Check out ORNJ's latest album if you like music like GC: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXzYaZ2XndZmepY

[@bjornlakenstrazen2186]

George Clanton inspired me to make my first vaporwave-ish album and im thankful i found his music!

[@brokenenglishprod]

link the album here brother. I would love to take a listen!

[@ace-end7814]

Link the album plzzzz

[@bjornlakenstrazen2186]

Hope you all enjoy. Some definite GC vibes at times while also doing more experimental approaches at times kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXzYaZ2XndZmepYsi=Ckmvp64ttG_o98EF

[@brokenenglishprod]

yoooooo this is dope. I finally got around to listening to the album.

[@bjornlakenstrazen2186]

@@brokenenglishprod Wow thanks so much! I appreciate you taking the time to listen. Getting ready to drop a new EP called "Fresh Squeezed Jams Vol. 1" and I'm excited to share it!

[@londonxrainn]

This is one of your best tutorials right up there with the Mid-Air Thief vid!!

[@brokenenglishprod]

Thank you! Stay tuned for a surprise if you loved the Mid Air Thief one!

[@skyborax5159]

George has uploaded some project breakdowns in logic on the George clanton fan club bandcamp. Highly recommend if anyone is more interested

[@brokenenglishprod]

Agreed!

[@thebreakfastmenu]

100% Electronica, Bad Dreams, Heartbeats, George+Nick Hexum, 200% Electronica, virtua.wav, Lord Amen, Further, Don't Call Me Yours, Dance Decree, and Summer Night... George has been making music a long time under a handful of project names. Highly recommend giving literally everything he's done a listen. He's done a lot more than breakbeats and 90s synths. Not to mention running a label and merch store.

[@brokenenglishprod]

thanks! I will go through them in my own time!

[@hellboikod]

He’s back !

[@brokenenglishprod]

Thanks to you brothe

[@ab8817]

the other secret - he runs everything through the "vinyl sim" effect on a roland 404

[@brokenenglishprod]

Ohhhh damnnn. Makes sense! Thanks for sharing! Do you mind telling me how you know this? I know he has a 404.

[@ab8817]

@@brokenenglishprod If I remember right, that effect has knobs for warping (the vibrato pitch effect that makes it sound old), noise as well as vinyl crackle. If you're familiar with the 404, you can identify the sound of the effect and rate of the slight pitch vibrato. Also you can see him using the 404 for ESPRIT sets online, and sometimes the effect is disengaged on the samples that he uses, but typically is always on. He uses nearly the exact same set of samples in ESPRIT and most Clanton solo albums. I wouldnt be surprised if he sends his full mixes through this effect as well.

Would be really cool if you cover the production of breakence or jockstrap

[@brokenenglishprod]

I’ll add both of them to the list!

[@drewgrit_]

Wasn’t familiar with George but this is cool af

[@brokenenglishprod]

Thanks brother! Happy to be able to show you something you like!

[@artkincell]

KENNY!!!! Great video! You were missed, at least by me! He approaches music composition that same way I do. AND! Ever notice how many early 90s songs had that same "When the Levee Breaks" drum part re-imagined? I'd guess the actual number to be 'tons and tons.' I just BOUGHT a CD (!!!!!!) of an out of print Fantastic Plastic Machine out of 1994 (I think). It's wild!!!!! Muddy production! Levee drums! It's fantastic! Currently listening to Sandwich Fail and old Kraftwerk stuff, but studying Daphne Orram and Steven Reich.

[@brokenenglishprod]

Frankkkk!!! What’s up buddy? It’s been a while huh hahaha. I will make a slow and steady return don’t you worry. Was focusing on other aspects of my career hahaha. Damn how do you find all these weird purchases haha? Also how have you been?

[@artkincell]

@@brokenenglishprod Me? I've been living- that might be a good thing. AND! I listen to EVERYTHING. That's my advice for younger producers. Even though the music might not be of their tastes, there's still some value in learning different ways different sounds are made. Listen to other types of music to learn where holes are made in the texture of the song's landscape to punch in some extra emotion. Good to "hear" your voice again. You have a lot of excellent knowledge to share.

[@brokenenglishprod]

@@artkincell ayyy that's the same advice I try to tell as many people as well!

[@christtt]

his secret

[@kevintheman4408]

is there any chance you could cover daniel ceasar and specifically his latest album never enough?

[@brokenenglishprod]

I’ll add him to the list as well!

[@JustChewyy]

Your channel is a gem, please keep it up :) Would you be able to cover saya gray or sampha ?

[@brokenenglishprod]

I'll add them to the list!
