My son has done a fantastic composition on Garageband for Xmas.
The background riff is from somewhere that I can’t name, but would like to. So what better than a mystery “name that track” on Christmas day to while away the hours.

The track sounds like it should be by Muse or one of those artists who write TV ads. In fact I am sure I have heard it on a TV ad recently.

The background is a simple four note repeat…like 1,2,3,4 counting as fast as you sensibly can. But shifting pitch upwards after each cycle and then dropping back down after 4 or 5 cycles.

Can’t remember if the original tune is on guitar or keyboard.

So come on fellow internet songsters…name that tune.

🙂

(oh and happy Christmas).

slade

it’s always slade

nope…and its not sade either 🙂

Just download Shazam.. And then use that?

Tried Shazam but it didn’t pick up on it. Thanks for the tip though.

Thanks cougar….its not that, less grungy. The opening of this song sounds quite pure and modern…wrecking my brain as to where I have heard it.

Any lyrics?

Sadly no lyrics….just a riff.

Ask your son?

I did ask him…he says “dunno…think I made it up” but then he is 15!

Hang on I think I know, does it go dum dum dum dum da duuuuum dada daaaa dum?

Sounds like Jet Set Willy to me!

Maybe it’s from GarageBand? There is a showcase cinema loyalty card advert that uses GarageBand loops. One can assume a work placement made it.

Sounds like Jet Set Willy to me!

I’m with you there…!

What it reminds me most of though is the early exercises in a “teach yourself bass” book I had ages ago. 1324 1324 1324 4231 [repeat]

Kinda wanna say muse-supermassive black holes. But not enough.

Sounds close to muscle museum by muse

Surely its more like the Ocean loading music from a c64?

CountZero has it….thanks!
Though this instrumental version was the one I was thinking of:

It was driving me nutz as well! I started to go through the Muse albums in my iTunes, fortunately it was the first hit!
