Description : This is actually a song that just happened. I was playing my guitar when I suddenly got this lick in my head and I recorded it as a demo for my bandmates in Transatlantic Experience. The adlib vocals is just for Jim and Allen to get an idea about the melody, so the words might not make total sense.
I use a Macbook Pro, Garageband, Logic, Strat, fretless Presicion and have tolerant neighbours. Apart from the Apple loops drums, it's all me. Even if it's a rough first demo for my bandmates, I'm curious to know what you think about the tune so far...

p.s. The finished result will eventually turn up on the TransatlanticExp page here on Looper.

Thank you for the kind words. I love to play the guitar but the funny part is my idea of playing has changed dramatically. When I was a kid I wanted to play leads like Richie Blackmore och Jimmy Page, now all I focus on in my own playing is to sound like myself and keep it as simple as possible.
I guess that's result of years of practice. :)
Again, thanks for the review, much appreciated.

An amazing song with a rhythm and guitar riffs really good. I see one of the best songs in is finished. Really all the guitar work is great ... wonderful end.
This is pretty special right now. After you add the other two to the mix it is going to be amazing. Great guitar work as usual. Nicely mixed. A great start to what I know will be an amazing track.
a TAE bootleg treasure. stormy funny wise friday, brother the words you throw down when in you're the moment never fail to connect - taking the last shuttle for atlantis - 1000 favs
Thank you Michael, I really appreciate your encouraging words. When I adlib I'm totally focusing on trying to hit the notes, the words comes without thinking and sometimes they work ok. I think I've found my way of writing lyrics. ;)
Thanks again for the nice words, the mean much to me.

I love the intro! The verse part is definitely interesting and i like the sustained vibe it has.
There are definitely some influences in it...from rock to country and blues I think you've got them all. Nice riffs that's for sure! Very well balanced on both side before the solo, tho honestly i would have loved the actual solo in the middle and a bit more defined.
Well can't wait for the finished product that's for sure!
Hehe, thank you Malu! There's a bunch of influences – I've listened to lots music and I'm sort of glad it shows.
You're right about the solo guitar, and I will adjust it when I get my friends parts.

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
