That Deceiver

Liner Notes

At this stage in the game I'm running on fumes. It's an #instrumental, because words are too hard today. I used Titular to come up with today's title because I couldn't think of one on my own. But when it comes to #funk I'm still going to pull out all the stops and go down the #fullProduction route, because it's fun. There's Jazz Bass. There's #WarrGuitar. There's even a kalimba, so that's my #neglectedGear box ticked.

And there are lots, and lots, and lots of guitars.

What an evocative piece! Music conveys the emotion so well, very, very impressive. I'm downloading this.

Genre-bending extraordinaire! I just want to take a big bite out of that juicy bass. Incredible layering and production values to build a number that conjures up film scenes with suave spies, femme fatales, hot car chases, cold martinis and countdown clocks. Fab stuff.

Is it just me, or does anyone else get a "Pink Panther" feel from this inventive piece? I like how the arrangement builds. There's always something new coming along.

Well if this is what you can do when you are “running on fumes” I hate to think what you can do when you are really inspired! Very cool on many levels. Sounds very screenplay worthy for sure! Nice job all around! Blessings!

Nice. I just closed my eyes and let all those little goodies wash over me. Good job.

in the end i didn't really allow myself to go the instrumental "because wurdz is hard todai" route, but listing to this maybe i should have. lots of tasty little sonic morsels throughout this thing. agree with the spy thriller soundtrack vibes. although the kalimba puts it in island heist territory? superfun.

The intro reminds me of Slayer but then it gets all spaced out. I'm not too well-versed in funk, but I'm liking the hell out of this. Atmospheric, almost ambient.

Great one! Love how it builds up the layers at the start. Was smiling all the way through, there is so much happening to discover.

Listening to this while I type in another tab, I had secret agent spy searching for clues in my head, and when I go to type a comment see the same below, very much an under cover of darkness sleuthing feel!

This would make a great spy thriller soundtrack, sounds of things scuttling in the darkness, dark figures fleeting by. Love it 😎

Fun, driving feel, great use of different textures and tones. Absolutely love the spacious feel of the section starting around 2:28.
