Learning web dev and reflecting on lifetimes lived long ago
I took a four week vacation, partly with the intention of recording some vocals for my many instrumental tracks.
However I spent the whole holiday learning web development and getting drunk in the evenings and recalling fonder memories of times past...
I only managed to record vocals one day for about 4 hours and it was almost a total loss. I only managed to get a single line down really. I wrote more lyrics but the takes for those were unusable.
Well, here it is for better or worse with the single line repeating over and over on a loop... [more inside]
almost time
This is a guitar-only outtake from another song I did. I was going to use it as a outro on that song but the original clocked in a 9 minute time already so it got discarded. But still, I like the feeling of it...especially as it's guitar with no other instruments ;)
native
I was really happy with this one when I first recorded it about 19 months ago. Listening to it now, I realise it was given way too much compression in the mastering phase. unfortunately I have lots the master project now with a faulty hard drive so it it what it is... [more inside]
Lawn Mower Times
Another combination of Guitar vs. Keyboards. Guitar gets the first move this time.
guitar track
just a guitar riff I've been working on. Not sure where to take it exactly.
it would take an hour...
Feeling a bit down tonight so I went looking through my projects and tried to fix up old throw away songs. This is one that's not too bad. An idea I hadn't quite fleshed out instrumentally. But why not throw on some improve vocals to make it feel more whole?
downshift
So...I didn't think I'd have time to work on a new song but the last 24 hours have freed up so... [more inside]
a complicated render
I'm trying to come up with vocals for this one and really struggling tonight. I had an idea, which was to just use pitch correction. I actually kind of liked it. At the risk of sounding like kanye west, i think it helped me get the melodies from my head onto the track without me immediately deleting it. I think maybe I'll use it as a guide track to get a usable take.
Night at the beach in the dark with more vocals
I let a few people hear this before (both here and elsewhere) and they all wanted a mix with higher vocals (despite the fact that I've assured everyone the vocals were total rubbish). So I've re-mixed it and re-mastered and now you might be able to hear my voice. If you still can't understand me, I've included the very depressing lyrics below. [more inside]
where's the exit?
Just another instrumental rock song. A few more electronic elements added in this time but overall, still very much guitar based.
is it the beach at night
Another attempt at songwriting. Unfortunately the vocals were so bad I almost deleted them. Instead I just backgrounded them.
Old ship church
Another one from the afore mentioned project from a few years ago. Not quite up to my current standards but I like the energy in this one anyway.
device or vice
This is obviously kind of an experiment...or in other words, it's a bit of a mess. [more inside]
garage lately
Very hesitant to let anyone hear this one. [more inside]
carefully optimistic
I thought I'd try to write something more upbeat. I couldn't think of a vocal melody so I just filled it with different guitar parts.
equals66
just a rock song (instrumental). I played around a lot with some organs and synths but still guitar based overall...
simple plastics
Another day, another song.
Rock, indie, alternative, etc...
A bit of hit and miss..
A bit of an experimental, weird intro. I was inspired by someone I once heard trying to play the guitar with a mallet.
Some keyboards and organ are thrown in underneath (probably to try to make up for the lack of verse vocals!).
I Also tried to throw in a vocal idea on the chorus here (written below)
