bats brew Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 https://batsbrew.bandcamp.com/track/twilight-rain *Twilight Rain - this is purely autobiographical. i did a demo of this several years ago, and it was a full band arrangement. i did this version as part of a 'song-fact finding mission', and ended up liking it better. features real thunder and rain, recorded from the downstairs entrance door into our backyard in utah, and also features our little windchime on the back porch. from the latest batsbrew album. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark skinner Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Very Nice ! Love the sparsness in this one. Great to take advantage of Real music produced by natural events. I think I would have tried to repitch the wind chimes though .. You've got the "Yes" vibe going in this one. It always brings me back to a time when everything was new and fulfilling. You Really got me with this one. I'm planning forward to recording the cicada insect emergence coming up soon. Don't have a clue what to do with it , but I'll have it. I Loved the song and production .. mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the sound of the real thing is one I'm so accustomed to, I couldn't bear to hear it altered. Cicadas! Yep, I grew up in the southeast, yes, I know that sound well. Thats a cool idea to capture it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bats brew Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 (edited) a lot of folks want me to put this to a full band treatment, but that's not how it was written, not envisioned that way, so doing it any other way, is just not being straight up about the intention. would it work with full band..? of course. does it work as it is...? of course! it was designed to. that's what makes it unique. follow your inner voice on stuff like that. the guitar i used has quite a story: The Williams Special is a Les Paul-Strat-Mustang-Explorer hybrid, with hollow body cavities, Mustang scale length, built like a paul with mahagony and maple top, a short tenon neck glued in, with an ebony fingerboard, mother of pearl diamond inlays, with vintage-dimension strat body, and explorer headstock. a custom build (obviously!) i think it's pretty unique... started out with a EMG SA assembly, that was changed to a pair of Bill Lawrence Wilde L-280's in neck and middle, with a Duncan Lil 59'r in the bridge. folks sometimes think that the bridge pickup is moved out, but it's really the neck and middle that are moved towards the bridge, because of the scale length and the 24 frets... it's kinda like brian may's red special that way.....
