Description : Hard rock, a bit towards the punk end of things. Turned on the distortion on the Fender Downtown Express bass pedal and I'm playing my Epiphone Les Paul Standard using the Marshall Guv'nor guitar pedal. Moog Theremini theremin lead. Our character seems to be down on his luck.

Wayne, Long time since I've heard one of your tracks. I hope all is well. The thing about luck is we can make our luck. The way I look at it is, if you can write one song, you can write them all.
Thanks! Things are going ok, can't complain, thanks for asking.

Hey Wayne
Hey this sounds like Spiv on vocals.
Listening with head set mate, fills out set very well indeed, great guitar playing as well, comes across like a pub track in a good way :)
overall, cannot fault my friend, prob only thing wish it was longer as it sounds so good, suppose that's a good thing lol, fav my friend, might pop you an email next few days when I get a chance away from work, peace much respect mosaic....
Hey pal! No, not Spiv on vox, that's my new, rough rock voice, lol. Thanks for the nice words!
I write short songs mostly 2-2.5 minutes. Way easier to mix a short song, less time spent mixing, so much less content to list to and scrutinize. Why put yourself thru the agony of a 6 min track? Must take weeks to mix, he. Can do 3 songs in that time and learn more that way. I do get a lot of comments saying the song was too short, oh well. Hit the play button again I say!!
Excellent! Cant say that it reminds me of anything, its got its own sound...something i always go out of my way to do, not sound like anyone else....good work!
We all strive to be different when it comes to doing this, well I hope we all do. Got my new git and pedal so I'm putting it to good use. Epiphone Les Paul Standard/The Guv'nor by Marshall.
story of my life ha. you’re firing on all cylinders for all the negativity and beautiful snottiness. i was thinking richard hell and the voidoids, waiting for a quine solo when in steps the theremin, yeah man that works! it’s all rock and roll, dude. hope this finds you in good fortune, wayne!
great intro Wayne, your brand and delivery are stamped bro you have always delivered. this with its old skool London punk style is class and takes me back to when it was bang in fashion. you are having a ball with your new kit your loving that moog theremin lead eh.
i use to do alot of calibration for Moog aerospace :))
There's a lot of this kinda music being made these days. It's more modern rock to me than classic rock even tho it's roots are solidly bedded in the "classic" rock style. I think of the Black Keys, for instance. I'm doing music in that general style without trying to directly sound like them.
You get your style from your music heroes, nicking this off that guy and this thing off of that guy. Like John Prine, he's another guy who I take his lyric writing style to heart, some humor, weird situations in the songs and great stories. Combine good lyrics with some cool, modern sounding classic rock or punk, well that's a formula that excites me musically!
Hey Wayne, man, that rocks! You're really into this harder style. I once had a Gibson Les Paul Standard and initially sent it over the Guv'nor, then later used it over a Marshall tower and I have to say that the Guv'nor didn't look that bad in comparison, of course not a replacement, but not bad after all. I think the synth fits exactly - for my taste it's better than a guitar solo in this track. A great listen .. You are always convincing...
Cheers,
Micky
I'm glad you liked it, wasn't sure how this would go over. It's a bit loud and in your face with my usual, down on his luck, complaining character that I've been developing these past few years. Hope people don't take these songs as my personal life, man I'd be one sad sack, lol.
The theremin works, I had no intention of putting anymore guitar down, there's enough going on with the distortion on the guitars and the bass. I wanted the solo to be the theremin, it cuts thru the thick guitars, plus it's freekin' cool, lol!
Gaining more confidence in my singing, absolutely. Been working hard at developing my delivery, grit and attitude. It's like performing, you gotta sell the track. Some people have this naturally, not me. I'm a bass player not a front man. Having fun with it.
Wooohooo!!! wanyne's world is always ROCKING! \M/ man I love your energy! and of course that gruff in your voice this is RAD! Excellent work as always. You certainly know how to entertain. WTG! Bravo!!!
Hello, wonderful traditional rock! Very linear. Changing the guitar from right to left is a good idea. Well mixed and mastered. I really like it once again. Since you got this guitar, you've implemented some great musical ideas. Kind regards and a nice weekend, Manuela
Hello, wonderful traditional skirt! Very straightforward. Changing the guitar from right to left is a good idea. Well mixed and mastered. Once again, I really like it. Since you got this guitar, you've implemented great musical ideas.
I had the 3 chord guitar progression played on one track and panned to the left. Then I decided to add a new track with just the E chord on the right and remove the E on the left channel. Simple change but makes a difference as far as balance in the track.
Been really enjoying the new git!

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 : In the 1700's the Comanche Indians became known as the Lords of the Southern Plains. The Comanche ruled a region that stretched across New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado and deep into the Texas Panhandle. The most feared and savage warriors of all the tribes of the old West.

This is real hard rock! Good job with the moog lead I like it
Not my best performance on the theremin, tough scale I chose to play on it so I wasn't as fluid as I would have liked.

Another stunning performance ... guitar panning is too good as the "retro" sounded distortion ... very groovy, rolling, cozy track ...
fistbump,
Danke
Making the decision to add a new track playing just the E on the right helped. Left track - both pickups, right track - bridge pickup.
Wayne
There is a solo in the track, 1:20-1:30. I mentioned it in the description, Moog theremin lead.

Kind regards and have a nice weekend Manuela
