Bottomlands - Burtsbluesboxes

The movie Southern Comfort from back several years comes to mind. Don't mess with the locals.

I've worked in the bayous of the deep south when I traveled the country splicing fiber optic cable years ago. It's different down there, dangerous to some extent. This piece really puts me back to the days of sitting on the railroad tracks in the middle of nowhere surrounded by...your soundtrack basically.

Well done dude!

Hey phatkatz!

Long time no see, my friend. Is this guitar youre playing one you made yourself? It's been awhile since I've been active here and I'm glad to see you're still around :)

Where do you find the sounds for the swamp? Those are high quality and are always hard to find. You painted an image that almost made me think of the video game "Last Of Us". Great work!

I'm on head phones and just realized I was holding my breath for God knows how long!
Very very laid back swamp you have there ... no Ogres in this one.
Beautiful stuff.

Hey that's really a great mix mate
The cigar box guitar add something for sure but all the sounds are pretty in place too.
Great job !
Cheers

Nice one Burt, very dreamy and relaxing. I really enjoyed the listen.
Right now i am in danmark with my wife and daugther and enjoy the wild see and nature. When you moved to your new home place we should do for sure some new collabarations. It is in a way like your CBG's call me - Joe, come and sing with me :) .......

stay tuned
joe

Hello Phatkatz4 ,your fan here,good sound,can be part/intro of bluse/rock song,3 string rules!

well done

this is excellent...could i use this as a backing for my visual to my album called the Lazarus Effect...it takes place in a post apocalyptic world...and this soundtrack is AMAZING

Just beautiful! Very haunting and thought provoking! You cant help but be taken in and swallowed up by the depth in this piece, and thats just with my ear buds in! A master class in ambient I think!

Wow i'm impressed by your track. never try to work this genre, however i like it so much! i used to hear FSOL (futur sound of london) in the same register, even if your sound and feeling are different.
Hidden in it, there's a psychedelic experience, this is what i felt during listening!

You have my fav
Bleep

Hey man, no problems for me here, man. In fact, this reminded me of this post-apoc Youtube series I used ro watch called "The dark Days". Good stuff mate!

Yo, ambient catman.

This is true ambient music!

I love the very first sound heard. A filtered/switching sort of sound straight into a lovely bit of slide. I need to get back doing some cool, ambient slide like this. Great swamp sounds. This is so wonderfully sensual and evocative. Perfect soundtrack music!

It doesn't really need to go anywhere or change. It's an ambient masterpiece that just sits and does the job.

Excellent work that feels like it could and should go on forever.

Idk whats going on but this seems to be the month for artists. I'm hearing so many amazing works. this is up high on my list. love the ambience of the guitar and the swamp atmosphere. I live in the bayou city (houston) so this is really soothing for me. love it

Pretty awesome slide guitar chillout Katz. It conjures up memory of trip I took to a little town outside New Orleans back around 1990. Chalmette, Louisiana, a real nice place, south of the French quarter. A friend and co-worker at the time was raised there. I never had been to Mardi Gras so he offered to take me down there to check it out. Long story short, while we were there we drove out to his grandparents place which was located in the bayou area right on the Mississippi River. I ended up in small boat night fishing with a spotlight in the swamp with snakes and alligators all around and getting nearly eaten alive by mosquitoes. I was freakin terrified ! This song would have been a perfect sound track to the experience. I certainly dig the track think the sound effects add a nice cinematic element to it. Maybe a bit too much walking through the mud though. I would probably like it better from a pure song point of view if the effects were limited to the intro /outro. I was toying around the other night and got into some Pink Floyd sounding stuff and decided to record a bit of it. I may end up trying to work up a track with the material and was wondering if you would you mind if I used a bit of your CBG on it? It may fit right into what I'm working with. I would certainly give you cred for it. Sorry to ask you in the middle of your track comments like this but I don't do it when it comes to mind, I would probably forget the idea later. Again, good stuff here bro, and yes I hope your serious about putting that album together. Keep us posted on that for sure man !

Amazing work as usual my friend

Evokes a sultry clear night in the swamp looking up at the stars. Love the delays on the guitars (Valhalla?). great work as always Burton!
Steve

Burt, how are you?

This is a great track! I can feel the humidity, and the mud pulling at my boots.

That CBG has a great sound, and you used it well. It's so smooth and clean. Such a contrast to the environment which it accompanies. It makes fri a great balance in this atmospheric piece.

Take care.
Aaron

BORDERLANDS !!!! Exactly the feeling

Bro this is nice. Like you could almost feel the song good job!

Hello Burt,

Paints a picture of a place a man can go to nurse his mind after battling the horrors of existence.
