Work in progress.. got a bit of writers block! Advice on where to go next please!

I've had the line "oh my god I can't believe it, I've never been this far away from home" in my head all day. Its from the Kaiser Chiefs song and was covered by Lilly Allen. Got home a few hours ago and threw this together for a laugh...

Take a listen... mood improving right? lol

Note: Not to be taken seriously!

Enjoy!

Random sketch idea for a track. Don't have any real ideas for it yet, just liked the jazzy tippy vibe. Very annoyingly lost the FL session file so will have to remake.

Started messing around with this ostinato I had in my head, was working for about 20 minutes before I realised I had accidently ripped off a DJ Shadow track, so much so that for a laugh I finished off in the same way as the actual track (the name of which I can't remember). For that reason I didn't bother finishing it but I thought I would stick it up anyway. Some kind of cool ideas I might play around with another time, for example the dual arp line. I thought that was pretty cool (although pretty crude) as well as the very deep distorted pad sound right at the end.

Just got Fruity Loops after getting sick of Logic crashing on me. This is something I've been working on to learn the ins and outs of the program. Its basically a moody, semi-ambient, pattern based piece, perhaps minimalist which is probably inspired by the likes of Cobblestone Jazz and DFlex* which I have been listening to alot recently.

Took me quite a while to structure it and I am not sure if I am happy with the way it develops yet. But let me know what you think. Forgive my laziness, I used quite a few presets on the likes of Styrus as I am just getting to grips with FL Studio. In future, expect more original sounds.

Also, my laptop seems to be doing something strange regarding its representation of stereo audio so if something sounds wrong in this respect please let me know. Not sure what it's playing at. Hopefully will sort it soon.

All comments welcome!
