I came home from a younger brother`s funeral a number of years ago and sat down with the guitar and a recorder to do the same thing tv (he was many times the guitar player I will ever be)...when I listen later.. like your tune...it is not really sad....just carries the emotion of the moment (and there are many)...music does indeed have therapudic value (I`ve used for that purpose most of my life)...Condolences on your loss tv..I know there are no words that really provide comfort...yet we try to convey what we can.....all the best...Ed

So sorry for your loss. I know what you are going through having the same situation several years ago. It gets easier as time goes by, than the wonderful memories will linger on.

Great song, BTW!

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks Scott. Appreciate the kind words. It does get a bit easier overall. There are time though when the pain is just as bad as in the beginning. Thanks again.

Thanks for those extremely kind words. I am always looking for vocals on my tracks but i can see your point as I I tend to use a lead guitar for the vocals. I think it comes from my inability to sing :D Thanks again.

i know how dumb this sounds - but my friend you are stepping out and speaking for a lot us. that's pretty cold comfort but it's remarkable that at a time like this you got our backs. best to you and your family, brother. peace.

Dunno what to say except that I'm very sorry for you, Vega . Accept a big hug from me .

I love your track with this 70s touch in it . Rock-blues is the style I used to sing in the past and it speaks to me a lot .

Take good care, my friend . My dad also left because of this f**** disease, but now he's having a sweet time up there and I'm sure they tell us not to be sad for them .

Thanks for the hug and for the comforting and kind words. If you ever feel like putting down some vocals I would love to work with you. Blues based Rock is usually where I find myself.

Thanks again.

Hi man, had a similar experience myself, so I know that burying yourself in something can help for a while. Really sorry for your loss Rich. This is true Topvega style - excellent. Thanks for sharing.

Description : This one is special. The Monzder Squadd is tired of seeing and hearing about all the awful things going on around the world, and in our own country. Our friend and fellow Splatterhouse ENT member Flat2Forge told us about some of the news from his side of the world, so we dedicate this one to him, and to Ukraine, and everywhere in the world where people are suffering. Hope you like it!

Not my lyrics.
The experiment began with asking GPT to write lyrics for a 3-minute house track; I ended up with way too much text, and I don't sing that fast. Next, I started coming up with melodies for the vocals, recorded the vocal parts, added instruments, and reworked the melodies, drum, and bass lines over and over again in an attempt to create a cohesive whole.
I made extensive use of JS: Vocoder (by Geraint Luff).

I hope you enjoy

Description : Ah this track. There's a little something for everyone in this, including some EDM inspired stuff. The Sewer Maawb's vibe is meant to invoke the hip hop and trap sound from 99-2012, and there are many influences in that timespan, one of those is Timbaland. Hope you enjoy it! Additional vocals by Rob Fame of The Monzder Squadd.

Description : This is cyberflares track nightdrive. He was kind enough to let me jam out with it. Which is what I've been doing the last two nights. So huge thanks to him for letting me. All I did was add some guitar that hopefully sounds like guitar but also doesn't... ;) I've been experimenting with pushing the sounds I can get from guitar to blend with electronic music.
