EDIT: I added a trumpet sample from Sorohanro www.sorohanro.newgrounds .com. Download his trumpet samples pack here: http://www.mediafire.com /?bnwd2adwj55 or there http://www.mediafire.com /?ytdjwylowym. It's not the orignial sound, I added some effects on the trumpet track.

Thanks Mihai <3.

Well I was bored and I decided to make my entry for the 5 seconds contest (http://www.newgrounds.co m/bbs/topic/1026541). I suck at ambient, sorry. I hope you will enjoy my shit!

Note that the bass is real, I didn't use any synth. The guitar is real, as in all my songs. The drums are programmed. And the high melody is played by me with my guitar, I added effects, it's not a synth!

Gear used:
*Ableton Live 7.0.3
*Addictive Drums(XNL Audio)
*Guitar Rig 3(NI)
*Zoom G2.1u Pedal
*Some Abletone Plug-ins
*Guitar Yamaha RGX Ty Tabor Signature
*Bass Cort A5

"Nice"

The trumpet sounds really nice. It's an interesting effect you put on there.

The melody is simple but catchy. And I think it's impossible to put something more complex insuch a short amount of time, heh.

Also, the loop works pretty well. I don't know how it was before, but I read in an answer to a review that you fixed the loop. Well, it worked. ;)

Yeah that was really difficult to make an interesting 5 seconds loop, I think the trumpet helps to make it a bit interesting :). Thanks a lot for the review again dude.

Distorted trumpet... hmmm... I might try it live.
Should I pay you copyright for the idea ?

Lol, the distortion was not intended. I put the sample on a guitar track originally reserved to a guitar melody with a light distortion ... I liked how it sounded so I kept it :). Thanks a lot for the review.

Nice, but short. It was very good, but is this a song or a loop? Great use of the bass, a kick ass guitar, and well programmed drums. Good job, sonofkirk! 10/10 5/5
