Description : This one's a bit different for me, breaking away from the jazz and funk for awhile. This is sort of a dark pop/rock track, incorporating a favorite instrument of mine, the mellotron (VST.) This track kinda took on a life of it's own. I wasn't really sure what kind of track it would become, but here's the result. Hope you like it and enjoy the download.

Great to hear the real deal on LM!

hi Scott, I enjoyed this nice track. really interesting use of the mellotron machine which can quite good imitate some orchestral strings effects here. it sounds very nice with the voice (1:08). Vocals have also some interesting reverb added and that works perfectly with all these mellow sounds from 2:37. really nicely done. Greetings,
Alex

Yes! Really liked this track, Scott. Great drum work, of course. I assume that was all done on your Alesis set? I really liked the Duane Eddy type guitar. Didn't sound like a VST at all. You did a great job on that one. The mellotron pad part had some glissandos that sounded very George Harrison. Loved that treatment. Yes, vocals were a bit dry, so perhaps some reverb would be good. Or, in the alternative, make them more more intimate in the mix. Not sure how to do that with effects, though. Might have needed a different mic arrangement and different vocal delivery. Anyway, I'd experiment. Who did the vocals, by the way? Very nice. An excellent departure from jazz and funk. Always good to get off the beaten path periodically.

Hey Eric,

Glad you like it. That Duane Eddy guitar is actually the M-tron. I took it down an octave. The vocals were an unknown pella I found some time ago. I collect stuff for future use and I can never remember where I get them.

Glissandos...I haven't heard that term since my college days!

Cheers,
Scott

Absolute unique track Scott!

Instant fav from the first second...like everything in the track...the 'crazy' drum rhythm from 0.37, the low toned guitar like from a Tarantino soundtrack, the cinematic felt synth voice and play and I really like that Lady's voice (a bit more reverb on it?)
James Bond soundtrack song...that's what flashed in...

Huge respect and thankx for this delicacy :-)

Thanks allot, Danke. So glad you like it and downloaded it.

The drum rhythm is my Alesis drum kit using it with a double pedal. Most of my career I only use one kick drum pedal, and about 2 years ago started using a double pedal. The low toned guitar is actually a Mellotron VST using the guitar setting and lowering it an octave. I think you're right, a little reverb on the vocals wouldn't hurt.

Again, thanks and hope you enjoy it in the future.

Cheers,
Scott

Description : My third rap song. Still not entirely sure how I got here, but I'm having fun with it. This time, I brought along my alter ego, Cool Grandpa. He's got more swagger than I do and helps bring a little street cred (although not much) to the operation.

Description : Unfiltered. Just me and the Squier Stratocaster. Comp edited the recorded guitar freestyle clips so it all sounds like it was recorded in one take. I used one of my old beats. Trying to get my guitar to scream was my goal, but in the process i made the guitar make sounds i didn't know it could make.
