I’ve been listening to a lot of instrumental tunes lately (as I find it helps my productivity and concentration while working), and I recently came back across some tracks by El Ten Eleven. I’ve been digging their loop-based instrumentals for at least a year or so, but it was good to get a little reminder that they existed.
So, um, get your work groove on…
And here’s a little bonus track, just because…
I came across El Ten Eleven on the eMu site yesterday and really dug their sound.
Check it out:
These guys put together a nice mellow style of instrumental music using drums, double-neck bass/guitar, a loop pedal and lots of effects. In that way, their music is actually somewhat similar to some of the mellow, lullaby-esque sounds I’ve been laying down on my loop pedal lately (though mine aren’t nearly as good and don’t include drums, double-neck guitar or nearly as many toys).
Side note: I like to think that if my blogging buddy Justin and I ever started a band, we’d probably play something like this.
