Riff works, delay, reverb loop. Enjoy!

Anything

Just a quick take of something I thought up. The lead solo part took far too long to do. Just a little delay and reverb and spinal puppet. Have fun!.

What, or how to say anything with nothing.

In my dreams I am a lot more pleasant,
I can see for a million lifetimes and grow endlessly
With you I stare blankly and withdrawl
This mirror showing me my face seems so unfamiliar
but this moment is far from unusual

The ground sweeps and sways and I lay motionless
begging God to move me in any direction as long as I am moved.
In this second I fall asleep, drifting back into my dreams
Where I fly inches above the ground, and collect soda bottles filled with memories.

Back in my pharmacy I am looking for love in a bottle.
Which one of these will turn me on to stable
In every cyclinder do I get closer to you,
or am I letting go; drifting away into my chemical sea.

This was another song done for you. It is a prog rock song. I think it is great right up until I start banging on the strings at the end. I have listened to this one a million times since I wrote it. I hope you enjoy it.

The beat is being made as I post this for the song. I will have to rerecord it once I get the drum track. But this has looping on it for one track and a simple soft rhythmic tone to it. I really like the way it came out. Again I will have to rerecord it, but I think I can improve upon it once it is ready. It is very short because I liked how it was growing but I wanted to capture the essence of the song before it got away. So now that I have it I will recreate it with a more full length. Well as a catch all, every song we have posted here has been just sketches and song ideas, of which we are picking the best and creating something wonderful with it.

This song is long, but I love when I sink into it. It has a single loop on it, and the rest is just layering of playing. No drums yet. The character is in the middle and end, but the beginning has its own shape.

This was something I did today. The beginning sounds a bit rip-shot, but it is going someplace, so stick through it. BadmanJ is off home to Erie, so I am without a beat maker tonight. Well at least until he gets settled in with the family. This was made with a background loop and two layers.

This is another Prog Rock style song, with extensive looping to play with multiple guitars myself. It is 30 bpm. It is a more dark piece, with very ambient qualities. Again no beat behind this one other than the guitar.

This is a more prog rock style song based on multiple guitar looping. I layered a bunch of guitar on top of them going through the song a few times to get it right. But this is just single pass per track to play something interesting. Not with out its edges and jags, but still overall something new. There is no beat behind this. It was run with a 2000hz loop at about 90 beats a minute.
