Can't Touch The Funk

Composer: Tommy Kneeland, class of 24

This is the humble beginnings of a funk song I've written. All of the instruments are midi (except for the electric guitar, which is actually my ukulele with a bunch of filters). I intend to record all of the midi instruments (horns, bass, keys, drums, etc) in due time, and re-record vocals on a better mic. There's also a solo section in the middle that I have yet to record a solo for since my current mic isn't that great. In terms of inspiration, almost every funk artist out there seems to have a song about funk itself, whether it's about how they've got the funk, they're playing the funk, smelling the funk, praising the funk, even funking the funk, and so forth. So, my song, Can't Touch The Funk, is about how you, well, can't touch the funk. I drew inspiration from many foundational funk artists, modern and old, including James Brown, Bootsy Collins, Vulfpeck, Ghost Note, and more.
