You are an excellent instrument maker and musician.
This track sounds so authentic.
I could see this song being featured on an episode of Mayans while they're riding their Harleys...
Esto es alucinante, suena de vicio, me gusta este ambiente hipnótico y LA ENORME CALIDAD EN LA PRODUCCIÓN. la lluvia y el cuervo complementa el ambiente espectral de la pista. Gracias Burtsbluesboxes por dejarnos descargar esta obra de arte. Que tengas un buen día. Paz y salud para todos.
Awesome thank you :D You may need to use google translate like I did and that's what I got below. I do music as a hobby just like building these homemade guitars from junk. I find with production less is more. The more you EQ and compress stuff the worse you end up making it sound. I try and get the tone I like before recording, then adjust to get everything in the mix comfortably.
Impresionante gracias :D Es posible que deba usar google translate como lo hice yo. Hago música como un pasatiempo al igual que la construcción de estas guitarras caseras de basura. Me parece que con la producción menos es más. Cuanto más ecualizador y comprimir cosas peor terminas haciendo que suene. Trato de obtener el tono que me gusta antes de grabar, luego ajustar para obtener todo en la mezcla cómodamente.
Still at it and still lurking in the graveyards ;) I hadn't been recording much for a bit, doing more building than playing. I've got to take some time tonight and scroll through what everyone's been up to lately.
i need those frets i think!! hdu are frequently quite loud and full on but they do some good atmostpheric stuff. a song called 'lull' off their higher album is a good example of their more ambient stuff. all the best to you
LOL!! Fretless slide is definitely a different style. I like 3 string tuned open g GDG. I have a 4 string fretted tuned EADG like a regular guitar. There's one stringers, 2 stringers, 3, 4 5, and your traditional 6. Lap steels are pretty big thing too. People will make them out of a 2x4 or old violin case. If you get a chance look up Fat Knuckle Freddy. He's like the Jimi Hendrix of the primitive fretless guitars. He calls his style Graveyard Blues. Very Punk like, loud and full of energy. Very cool guy if you get to ever meet him too. I was set up selling guitars at a show he played 2 weeks ago, his dinner set was quite mellow, laid back playing, sitting in a chair. When he took the stage for the night set it was wild. Shocked some of the people :D
Love the intro, guitars sounds awesome. Homemade far out, you're obviously a craftsman and we need more of those! I'll tell u this reminds me a little of a nz band called hdu who use similar layered guitar textures. But this is unique and I really enjoyed it.
Not the biggest fan of this genre, dark and moody, but had to comment on that guitar, whether it my thing or not, that guitar is superb and the crow was cool and I like the sharp end plain old stop, well done
We can all learn alot from each other and other genres. I learned a ton here when I started out using a computer to make music from the electronic based musicians. I wish we could share pictures on here. The guitar is made from an old kitchen drawer, wallet tin, piece of oak for the neck and an old Telecaster pick up.
This is great - dark and moody and wonderful (and with the crow sound a little quirky) production and I love that you actually made the guitar AS WELL as writing a great atmospheric track - really epic - I hope all the random listeners lean in to more than the first 15 seconds. Ends a little abruptly but nice work
I'm very pleased with the first track Sorrow, the second needs a bit more work, really thinking I need to extend it. On you tube there's 2 documentaries on cigar box guitars, Songs inside the Box and Makers of a revolution a uk based one. There's a long history of homemade instruments by people wanting to make music but not able to afford expensice guitars and such. Damn things are more addictive than crack! Dark and moody is my favorite stuff :D

Description : I asked Danke if I could add some vocals to his track Future Machine and he kindly agreed and sent me the track. The lyrics are about a soldiers experience in war as he and his trench mates are told to get up and out of their trench and attack the enemy across open fields. I can only imagine the fear, tension and chaos that goes through one's mind at that moment.
Description : I discovered Meshuggah around 2003 and was blown away by the power, complexity and super Heavy sound of their music. Their "Nothing" album marked the switch to 8 string guitars and pushed Heavy Metal into a whole new territory. My track is a variant cover of their song "Nebulous". I have stayed pretty close to the original but added a few dynamic elements of my own. Its loud, its super heavy and way out there...Beyond Nebulous.
Description : This unconventional metal track is dedicated to Valvedriver https://www.looperman.com/users/profile/841435 though it's not a parody of his fine music or me actively trying to sound like it. I struggled for months with the first few minutes of this track knowing that I must be able to take it somewhere deeper, more psychedelic and powerful. Then I loaded some sampled choir voice instruments, as used in my track Reckful https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/160356 and suddenly found myself happily in Valveland - not a place I visit often. Feeling amply Valvedriven and newly inspired, I added the last few minutes fairly easily and very quickly. So: it's a twisting, turning mixture of grunge, menacing ambient, mystical metal and ultra-heavy funk. Instruments: electric guitar+bass, synth basses, female choir voices, one synth pad, some other synths on the nastier side of things and a few programmed heavy acoustic drumkits playing a mixture of triplets and straighter grooves. Interesting thoughts appreciated. Favourite bits? Shit bits? Please listen on good headphones/speakers as there's a lot of heavy bass in this. Now get ready to rock: balls out, hands in the air and with rebellious joy in your heart. Just try not to headbang the hell out of your laptop. Go!
Description : Whats up guys?! Been a while I know. Iv'e moved around a lot but have finally settled down and have been hard at work with my metal band. Unfortunately I've had to put my solo work on hold for a bit while I'm recording with the band. We are being professionally recorded now, a very big step up from the last recording of my band that I posted here. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy! We are, Raze The Pyre.

Description : A grimy hard rock track fully produced digitally (even the drums!). The awesome main riff has been provided by prodreiter here on Looperman, and I made the drums in Addictive Drums 2, I will make them available as loops later.
This track sounds so authentic.
