RapidComposer is a rapid music prototyping software designed for composers, song-writers and musicians of all musical styles. Check out the band Stuff, one of Vulfpeck's major influences.MusicDevelopments has updated RapidComposer to version 4.1. I think it originates from Gospel music so you may want to look into that too. It is also used in Oh What a Night by Frank Valli and the Four Seasons. They also use the exact same walkup in their song The Speedwalker. What I learned about this song and others is that in the verse and the chorus is this walk up where you switch from 1 to the 4 chord and keep moving up the scale with the bass. ![]() It is a 3 chord but it is major instead of minor), Bbm9 (6 chord), Eb7add9 (2 chord), then a walkup to Gb/Ab (4 chord with the 5 in the bass) Verse: Db (1 chord), C half dim (7 chord), F7b9 (not sure. The chord progression for the verse I don't fully understand but I will post it here and maybe someone else can explain what it going on: I don't know all that much but love Vulfpeck so I might be able to help a little bit there.Īnimal Spirits is in the key of Db. Another is to replace a minor chord with a major chord to make your progression sound happy. Allowing non-diatonic chords to enter your progression can allow you to make use of a chromatic run (such as the notes A, A#,B,C) played successively within some chord structure. Regardless of whether you play bass guitar or not, he has some excellent tutorials on jazz and funky stuff which would help you when it comes to writing a bass line, even if you take the notes and sequence it in midi.Ī lot of the magic comes when you deviate from the diatonic scale. Scott Devine has a good bass players YouTube Channel. Sister Sledge - Lost In Music (written and produced by Nile Rodgers) Red Light Spells Danger - Billy Ocean (different sort of disco song) Boney M - Daddy Cool I would recommend you listen to these four different kinds of disco tracks for a good primer Chic - Good Times for a good demo of the chord segments things, very audible in that track. This 10 minute interview with Nile Rodgers was especially interesting Let the notes sit with the listener for a bit, before being followed up with more notes. I've heard Nile Rodgers (Chic) and Roger Walters (Pink Floyd) both say it, but a lot of people cram notes in to a song. As I recall Disco Inferno is in a minor key (Cm?) and that's a pretty get-up-and-go type of song. I think there is a cool trick to using minor chords followed by major chords to make the happiness happen. They are a really important part of the song. Listen to any disco from the 70s/early 80s and you'll hear strings. ![]() There is also the matter of the strings section. He likes to mute the notes a bit to make them more percussive, or 'funky' in his parlance. It turns out that a lot of Rodgers' particular writing and playing style, which really has been regarded by many as having defined disco, comes down to playing segments of 7th and 9th chords (11th and 13th chords too i think), but never the whole chord at any given time. Rodgers and Bernard Edwards (bass guitarist) produced a lot of disco music when it was popular. I recently decided to get into playing disco on the electric guitar and so I set out to listen to all of the Nile Rodgers (Chic) interviews I could find. Despite being born in the late 80s, I grew up with disco among other genres. ![]()
