Description : Tracking in SONAR 5. Used a single drum loop as a guide, Tracked keys for the progression. (Kurzweil K2000S) Add Bass guitar track (Gibson EB-1) and finally shred with Strat.
Ok... I listened to this 2wice.
Yep, there's some passion in the playing which is good.
To me this is a 4 minute & 30 second run-on sentance. I suggest you re-cut it. Find a few of the motif's/melody lines and arrange some phrases.
Now that you got the initial angst out of your system, I feel you could REALLY arrange a rockin' piece of music from this.
Kelly,
Sorry for the delayed response. Your kind encouragement is very much appreciated. This was one of those magic 3-4am sessions alone in the studio. I love it when I can play back through the monitors at a good volume rather than having to rely on headphones all the time. Nothing like moving air. You sort of float around with the sound. Anyway, than you for the inspiration. I believe a new set of strings is in order. Much Respect,
Voltage
Hey Wookie. I appreciate your compassion. No need to be sorry though. Without the experience, there would be no expression and thus no song. By the way, here is an example of a single drum loop throughout. Had planned to have my drummer replace the track, though we never got round to it. So you see, the single drum loop can indeed work in many situations. Keep hammering and thanks again for the compliments.

that is the shit! as the kids say it! you might want to put up a warning "this ride will kick your butt!"
nice one.
i loved a shauna once, she rocked!

Neil,
Thanks for the review. Cause for big smile and a chuckle or two. Yes there is something about those Shauna girls that just rips your heart out. I am thankful we have music to express the emotion. Otherwise I would probably end up doing time in some correctional facility or mental institution. Jail House Rock....

Filaofsoul,

Mandarosa,
Thanks for taking the time to listen and making the effort to comment. Each time I hear this track, I remember every moment of working all night to make it happen. There's a lot of tears in there, but I find now that I am happy to have worked so hard to express the moment. Happy to find so many musicians understand. I am inspired. Thanks so much. Voltage
Great playing Mr Voltage! It's always a pleasure to listen to a emotion being expressed through an instrument, and you did a first class job. Production and arrangement are top, as is the mix...
Slap,
Thanks for listening and commenting. Though I have been making music most all of my life, I find that I am still learning. About music and myself. Struggling with some health issues right now, but when I get through this latest challenge, I hope to collaborate with you and Bilbozo on something special. It's a goal of mine. Thanks again Slap, you are one of the best musicians I have encountered. Much Respect. Voltage
Always wished I could play electric guitar. Can't even plays chords on one and make it sound right. Hard to believe there's such a difference between electric and acoustic.
Another great job on the guitar.
B,
Thanks again for your kindness. The Shauna track means more to me than most. It was accomplished at a moment in my life when the guitar strings were directly attached to my heart strings. Thanks for the encouragement. It means a lot to me. Voltage
well we got rei4real-bilbozo-and now SKYVOLTAGE!
as you were saying to bill bout the big colab fun song..you really like to grind one out...shit man..this is like a whole song with a whole solo throughout it-amazing skill and arrangement.
i absolutely love the overall melody and the harmonics you hit from time to time....outstanding my friend.

Gizz,
Never got round to sending a very grateful thank you for your kindness. This one does have special meaning to me. I recorded this during an all night session. Alone in my studio in tears. If I have ever expressed true emotion in a recording this is it. This is truly the sound of my heart breaking. On the mend thanks to my LooperFriends. Thanks Gizz.
Voltage
Thanks for taking the time to listen and make such a kind comment. Please forgive me for taking so long to reply. Been out on that lonely road. Happy to be back on Looperman. Thanks. Voltage
Rei,
Missed out on thanking you for your kind review. Sorry for the delayed response. I very much appreciate your encouragement. I am inspired. Voltage
I grabbed my volume quick as well but I just wanted to crank this up!!! Almost pulls at the heart strings how you can make your guitar cry. It reminds me a bit of Satriani's "What Breaks A Heart" with a touch of 80's power ballads. Beautiful, man.
Missed out on thanking you for such kindness. I am back on Looperman and inspired by the support here. Thank you for your compliments. Apologies for the delayed response. Voltage

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).
Description : This is the 2nd cover of Big Audio Dynamite i done With my freind John. We both fan of the band so we decided to do a challenge and produce a serie of covers. we done 4 in one month. each track got it proper video check my youtube channel indiegroundvid

A women can gouge out a piece of your heart, but the empty space is capable of holding more it would seem. Great emotion.
