bats brew Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 i'm still refining this one, for an upcoming album of songs patterned after classic 70's rock tunes... i've taken the original arrangements, basic drum grooves and original tempos, of some of my favorite classic 70's rock tunes, and used that as the 'starting point' of a collection of songs i'm working on. it's a big experiment for me. this song, for example, is patterned after paul mccartney's WINGS song, "Junior's Farm". more than half of a 10 song future album, will have this treatment. these tunes will be vocal heavy, featuring harmonies and unison singing over guitar stuff. tho, the hardest part of writing this one, was coming up with modern sounding original rhythm guitar tracks, and not sounding like "juniors farm".

LOL Great song! I can hear the Wings DNA in the chorus for sure, and the synth intro was great, loved it (but not in the biblical sense.)

LOL thanks for listening and commenting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outstanding sound quality. thanks free! sound quality, yea, that's the goal, as long as it doesn't get in the way of the creative. i tried to make the arrangement more 'open', so the sounds had room to breathe. the guitar part was a lot of fun to come up with... something that snapped, and grooved, at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bats brew Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 by the way, this mix, is just for the video... the album mix will have all that front stuff chopped off, and just about 10 seconds of buildup before it kicks in. i just had to set the mood for the abduction. the synths are the ufo coming in... the guitar noises are background space noises, and the scratchy samples are the aliens beaming me up. then once i get inside, the music starts.
