Back in 2004, when I first started working in Garage Band, I recorded a lot of instrumentals using loops, samples, and keyboards.
This is one of approx. 45 pieces I composed between 2004 and 2006.
Of all the pieces I recorded at that time this one easily stands out as my favorite.
My son Nathan worked with me on this one.
I would like to dedicate this post to the mighty Omar Nasr (yoslounge). He has from the beginning been one of the mainstays of our little community. A great talent and a really good guy.
You ROCK bro!

Hey Matt, no that isn't me on the guitar. Except for the melody and the bass which were played on a keyboard, it's all modified loops and samples. I didn't own an electric guitar at the time. Got my first one a few months later. Hah! I wish I really COULD play like that!
We are the same: we love surprises in our pieces. I like the change at 2'13. I started with GB as you did: playing with loops and sometime you get something special. A piece full of suprises,Ā a piece that is really not boring. AndĀ Omar is one of our pillars :-)
Yes Thierry, we both cut our musical teeth in much the same way it seems. (I'll probably post one more of these old "prehistoric" instrumentals in the near future just for the fun of it.)
A wild one! Very interesting parts and changes. I remember discovering GaragaBand back then. What a wonderful time. It was and is a great helper when making music.
Very nice and creative developments here, Mike. And yes, we can all agree, Omar is an inspiring musician and human being. Been there since Icomp days and still is. A rock.
