Trade Routes - Original Music on Egyptian Oud

avatar
(Edited)

Here is an original composition on my Egyptian oud. It started out as a improvisation on the oud then I added five drum tracks via my Roland Handsonic. Three of the tracks are a sample of an udu drum and the other two are a hand pan.

Overall the song has a feel of an ancient international trader traveling on their route. I added map background video footage by caelan on pixabay https://pixabay.com/users/caelan-1280...

Thanks for listening :-)

I like it a lot! Question, are you using a metronome, or you play the guitar track freestyle, and the drums are added after? If so, you keep great time.

The oud was recorded without a metronome. This really was just a warmup improvisation I started recording in prep for another song. Fortunately when I listened to it again it was passable enough of a take to add drums to it.

Dude, this is rockin' awesome! Really enjoy the way you're overlapping sounds this way, with visual support to show what we're hearing here.
