amiller Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 A little musical journey. Some time sig and tempo change as well as a fade-out and back in at the very end. I hope you enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Reminded me of the coolness of early Genesis, Peter Gabriel. I had fun trying to guess what was coming next, and had fun giving up! Very inventive all the way through. I listened on headphones but there was puh-lenty of bass guitar. I wonder what people on proper listening systems will think? And the drums could somehow come up a bit, but it's a busy mix with that synth pad and the wonderful guitars. By the way, really cool guitar tones. I liked those chromatic drop-downs a lot. The outtro has a cool honky-tonk vibe, nice touch there. cheers, -Tom Edited October 20, 2019 by emeraldsoul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds OK on my cans but would agree with Tom, a little less bass and definitely drums to come up a notch. Oh and +1 to the Genesis vibe (I could hear nods to both The Knife and Trespass - intended or otherwise). Love your stuff and this is another belter Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 amiller A busy mix but it works. The change-ups surprised me and that's a good thing. And again, great guitar work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the kind words and the critique. Yes, the bass is a tad hot and needs to come down a bit. I'm going to lower the bass a bit and then see how the drums and other instruments sit in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl1968 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 wow - those guitars sound immense. Basslines are also nicely played and inventive. Another +1 for the drums coming up in the mix. Excellent, creative work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I really enjoyed the listen on this one - the guitars sounded great - impressive playing. Made me think a bit of Steve Vai. I liked that ending - creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starise Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 That should be a guitar and not a gun you're holding.....well ok I understand you might need to go after the bass player? Second thought, maybe you need both. Quite a nice "jam" you have going on there . Nice silky guitar prowess is abundant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leizer Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Also heard a lovely Genesis vibe, enjoyed it a lot. Fantastic airy guitar sound. Good work! Perhaps the bass player has a bit early timing for my taste, from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
