I don't remember, I made this two days ago...

There is a phaser and D-Standard.

Sorry that I did not post it until now.

AAAAAAAAAAND We are back!

After some undue meddling with the world of the internet, we are back with what I think is our strongest song to date. I am very pleased with this one. Maybe because I just wrote it tonight, but here is the rough draft of Novacaine.

ENJOY!!!

NeptuneTwo_mixdown.mp3

Here is another version of that song with a bit of a solo at the beginning. I wanted to continue with it, but I felt that the peppering of the guitar made it much more exciting.

Neptune_mixdown.mp3

This song is a prog rock ditto I started working on tonight and I really enjoyed it. I used a range of fancy new technologies. I used a normal acoustic amp and lined that up with a with a Classic preamp. Next in line is a volume pedal to spice things up volume wise. Then a sine chorus(stereo) and sweeper. All tied into the cavernous reverb turned to 100%. On one track there is a vetta wah pedal and to add that really distorted torn up sound quality effect I used a pedal called: Tape Eater. It sounded so interesting I wanted to use it to describe the planet on which this song is based.

this is 80bmp.

Three guitar parts. Three amps, two time sigs, and general fun at play in here. No reverb, just me an an amp.

Or better yet: take three guitar parts, add three amps, one dash, one smidge, and one fingerling, and two time signature (crack first) and shake together until segmented, and you get one song!

Enjoy!

masses_mixdown.mp3

Welcome to the song called Masses. I wrote this song as a prog rock song. I enjoyed a specital in my mind and wrote the music based on the idea. It is two orbiting celestial masses existing too close and coming together. It is a song about gravity wells and the energy in them. The dance of particles and the raw power. I tried to capture what I was feeling in the song. I hope you like it. I use a vetta wah pedal at about 10:30 on the dial, the piezacoustic 2 amp, and spinal amp, and a cavernous reverb. Also the standard noise gate to get rid of the fuzz that is needless. I use break beating and strum breakdown to set on edge the tempo. I use bending on the guitar and pick sliding. All in all I love making this song. It speaks to me well.

freight_mixdown.mp3

This song has two guitar parts with delay and reverb.

Lyrics:

Life, and its worth are at odds with something creating life.
Illusions can bring you to the end of your rope
I want to suffer by your side
Can we qualify the ends with our excuses

Oh to lose you
Ill never know the reasons
Ooh to guess at your ends
We are left with the bags at your expense

Grow with the tides of unfirling flags
Can we pass the torch again?

The train you were waiting for left the taste of loss in the mouth of the caring.
The hearts of many left with you on that bullet
and the growth we could have had with the understanding of pain

Oh to lose you
Ill never know the reasons
Ooh to guess at your ends
We are left with the bags at your expense

Can we continue on with the memories
locked away in your parts scattered amongst the gravel?

Keep your hands close to your eyes
The spray of this visteral identity you wish us to see?
This vapor left in the lungs of the people you left.
Can the world continue on, the poorest of the world never see
the very moment you are a ghost I can greet you in dreams

Play with the water of life and play with the limits of our feelings
I could care less, I am not one of the feeling
We leave you in peace as you did not do this for us
and even if you did, we did not notice
We are all selfish and care more about our loss
than the feelings of pain because you can never see
the future we have for you

Ooooooooh to lose you in this landscape
ooooooooh to find you in our nightmares
you have become a nuenses and
we will never forgive you like you want
You could care less and
So could I

Oooooh to find you in pieces
Left for me to pick up your family
I will be part of your delusion and I will
join your party
Left to the flies
Ill never need a stitch

ooooooooh the proof is in your position.
Good evening
We have to end this show.

Here is a recreated version of the song posted last but with lyrics that have been sketched out. The song will take a grander form in the future with a similar change structure, but with a better composition. I like it! BadmanJ really did an amazing job with the drums, they sound live.

NewJamesBeat2x_mixdown.mp3

This song was for a beat that BadmanJ made. I took it and I made two different full songs to it. This is the second version. It has a bunch of things on it. From a 632ms delay to a square chorus pedal, and a Vetta Wah pedal. A little bit of reverb, and a Treadplate amp for that oh so metal sound. The song is 95 bpm. I will be posting the other version of this tomorrow and then I am going to ask for which you guys liked more. Just as a fun little game. I might even write a third one on the same beat because I like it so much. Enjoy!

complex_mixdown.mp3

This song was built off the song. I tried to make my fingers move as much as possible. I wanted to make a song that was hard to reproduce. The BadmanJ is working on free styling over it currently. It has been a bunch of takes so far. It keeps glitching. He keeps telling me over and over "this is the last take", I do not believe him. But maybe this one is the last one. We will see.

Overall this has a smooth flavor to it. It was done with the same guitar pedals as the previous track called Affectionate2x.



Here is the .ogg file because it sounds better (Complex). Take a listen in case you cannot play the .ogg file here is the VLC player link. It is a great program if you do not already have it.

Affectionate2x.mp3

This song is a wild departure from the norm and brings an element of fun into a normally good but slow rhythm. I enjoyed making it, and I enjoyed even more making it!

It was done in riffworks and then the Badman put a sweet beat on it.

danty_mixdown.mp3

This has distortion and an epic feel (see: Prog Rockish). I wanted the Badman to freestyle over this, but he opted out. Instead he wrote a story, which is cool, but left me to free style over it. So I tried, and forgot to actually do it. So here it is naked like a newborn. I like it.

appreciation.mp3

Riff works, delay, reverb loop. Enjoy!

trepitation2x

This was done in Riffworks. Slight reverb. Some delay at 100bpm, but the song is 75 bpm.

pour_mixdownsecondDraft.mp3

Here is a second version of Pour. It has lyrics.

Formula_mixdown2.mp3

This was just a thought tonight. It was a little bit of practice for moving my arm more quickly. I think BadmanJ really liked it and wants to work it into a song. It is distortion and clean guitar. The one part of it has an 800ms delay on it and medium hall reverb. I tried to make a bass line in it. I need a bass guitar in this band. So much of the song I know it missing that brightly deep voice in the back.

nightofgain_mixdown2.mp3

I quickly wrote this up with a fragment of a song I played with tonight while practicing different things on the guitar. I enjoyed making it a lot. It has a bilevel effect package on it. With a pleaza amp and delay of 800ms and a reverb. Enjoy!

I think there is a glitch in it but I was unaware while I was working the music. So if there is I apologize, but it has gotten quite late to correct it. I think it still sounds fun!

The Puissant

This starts out quiet, but don't raise the volumes as it gets metal. This is a work in progress, as they almost all are, but this is one of those we will be bringing back up to code in a few weeks. I like the break beat of the guitar in this song.

Finally Ghost! Done.

Here we have the results of a lot of work, much to my roommate's despisement. Tonight I was tormented enough to do the vocals for it.

We very much hope to hear back from you what you think.

Here it is the song Ghost Final tracked version.

machine3x_mixdown (2).mp3

Here is a diddy that we started working on yesterday after the visit from the black muse. It is called Machine and the lyrics are being worked on now. The music is a bit of melodic synth sounding guitar and a machine beat. I just played this and seriously have not listened to it yet. So I am aware that it might clip at points, but overall I think when I was playing it the scratch pad of work sounds pretty dark and full. The effects are a cavernous reverb at full 100% and a spinal puppet amp. The delay is an 800 ms. Oh the lyrics are not on here, yet, but soon they will be, once they are cleaned up and sorted and refined and all that jazz that I do not do on the guitar before I post it. There is not a lot of layering in the beginning but the end distortion I have three guitar tracks that mesh together.
