Hi guys, I hope all is well. I just walked in the door from work, and I still have to go feed the cows. Here's a song called
Tail of the Tape (soundcloud.com)
I'll check bacjk in a bit.
It sounds... Angry... It sounds angry and like it's from a ProgRock band from 1968 to 1975.
The thread'll be here all night long, of course.
That's pretty much it. It's not really a song, I just had some room left on the tape. I sort of had an idea, and just like most of the ideas I get, I don't properly complete them. I could've recorded that bass part properly, but wtf the first-take was all I needed to capture the idea.
Anyone wants to, they can take any of my instrumentals and stick words to 'em. Just give me co-credit.
And I've got no problem fleshing the tunes out a bit, if anyone is into online collaboration.
Hmm... I've done some colab with my works in the past. I kinda miss when Nadeshda would put her vocals over my work.
I'm also remarkably interested in music lately - which may seem contrary to my output. I've not done anything new for quite a while - but, at the same time, I'm more excited about music than I've been in a long, long time.
I started a new project, where I take a look at inexpensive guitar equipment. I'm seeing how little you need to invest to get a quality instrument and it's amazing how good cheap gear is these days. I may even start a collection of cheap gear to see how it shapes up.
I paid $170 for a Chibson Les Paul (technically made in Vietnam) and it came with the low E maybe one cent out and an action better than you'll get out of the box with Gibson themselves. The only setup I needed to do was to move the low E less than a 16th of a turn.
On Sunday, I have a used (excellent condition) Fender Mustang LT-25 for like $140 being delivered by FedEx.
Man... The stuff new players have available (for not much money) is amazing.
That was different. I was expecting you to start singing any second all the way through
It needs lyrics. I can come up with melodies all day long, but trying to stick lyrics to 'em messes with my head. For me it's like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle that's all the same color, and I just say fuck it, and quit.
Some folks can excrete functional lyrics on command. Sadly I'm not one of those people.
I can relate to the jigsaw puzzle comparison.
