Description : After some encouragement by my good friend ValveDriver, I worked up some new material, added a dash of old stuff and BAM! new track. This one takes some inspiration from the Rings of Power series I've been watching on Amazon Prime. I love Tolkien. Anyhow this features a Bassline loop made with Serum, some heavily saturated harmony and wah effect guitars and a little psychedelic pitch shifted solo Hendrix style. What is it genre wise, Synth Rock, Industrial, Dark electro, New Beat?

This took me on a journey through the forest, with all its shade and glints of light through the trees. An incredibly well-balanced track. Love the Hendrix guitar bit and I wished the track had been longer! Kay0s
Thanks for the listen and comment VN! Pretty cool description there I like the visual. As far as the length goes I'm not big on long audio tracks. I would rather have someone say like you that they would have liked more than complain that its too long or repetitive.
This sounds cool.
I like that rhythm and This track is very original.
When i mix 3 genres in 1 beat i call it the RitajustRita genre so your track is now the Darksun genre......problem solved
(1 of 2): Neo, what's happnin, brother? When I saw that you had a new track on the wall, I could hardly wait until I got home to give it a proper listen. You sir, did not disappoint!
I'm not familiar with the show. I'll have to watch it to see the connection. We just finished up season two of "From". Trippy-ass show. I like the idea of making a track based on a show.
Serum is a beast! It's about the only one I use now. Did you use it for the sub, or for the sequencer at 0:28? Or, both?
The intro zigged, then the song zagged! Overall, it almost has a feeling of flight to it. I can definitely hear your brand of latin based sound in this. It does have a nice touch of Santana in there. Santana and Satriani. It's like Satriani cut a track on Santana's rig. As always, the mix is flawless. Everything is crystal. With the multiple guitar tracks, none get in the way of the others. It's perfectly filled. There are a lot of notes being played, and none of them crowd the place up. Well done.
I figure you would like the Rings of Power, It's Tolkiens story of early Middle Earth and the introduction of the dark Lord Sauron and the creation of the rings. This Serum loop was something I did a few years back when I was dabbling more with electronic music. I was just going through some files hoping I could find something to give me a direction and this just fit the bill.
I like the Santana /Satriani reference. Two great players that I very much admire. I never made that connection during the process here but since you mentioned it I certainly can relate. Of course like you said I do a lot of Latin flavoring, its a style I enjoy. It comes out sometimes even when I'm not trying. Satriani is big on using wah, he's a wah Zen Master. I have loved the effect since first hearing Hendrix' Voodoo Chile and Machine Gun. That intro is just a bar chord that I reversed and stretched. I went corny old school!
(2 of 2) It's funny that I was the one that inspired you to jump back into your music, because after seeing all of your art work, it's inspired me to pick up the pencil (digital and "analogue"). I've been in an artistic slump for quite a while. Seeing the cool pieces you do really gives me the want to put in some quality time on a new piece of my own.
As far as music goes, I have a hefty metal tune that I'm stuck on as far as leads go. That's never been my forte, and honestly, I've been thinking about asking you if you could take a listen and see if you can come up with something fitting. Ever since "No Salvation", I've always wanted to collab on something. I just never really had anything that I felt was up to your caliber. This one just might get at least one toe over the line into that territory. Maybe. Let me know if you'd be interested.
Anyhow, it's so great to see you back with new material. I hope there are many more to come.
Take care, my friend!

Yeah I guess you and I do have a lot in common when it comes to creativity. I know your also quite an adept photographer as well. I do appreciate you convincing me to record. I don't get near enough playing time these days. Hate to admit it but I'm also discovering the onset of some joint discomfort in a couple of fingers which has reminded me that time is creeping up on me. I had to learn it. I still have your No Salvation track. And its still just as cool as the first time I heard it! I'm hip to any kind of collab bro. It may not be quick, I sometimes don't know what day it is with all I have going on, but hell yeah, love to hear what you got. Thanks brother, its definitely fun to get back to some of this. Even though this is the first track I've posted in a while, its not entirely new and I put it together pretty quick. I'm actually working on something totally new so stay tuned.
did you kidnapped Carlos Santana for that ? pls let him go. Your guitar lead is extraordinary. straight from your soul. I can almost touch those frequencies. Thank to Valve for kicking you in the nuts, we need more stuff like that. relly expiremntal and your mix is superb. i love those dimensions you created. every little sound you put there is a for reason and makes sense. crazy hard stuff but you dont overwhelm the listeners. Like Vintage Nights i get those avantgarde muse vibes but totaly your own. hope you you get back on track, something is brewing here in looperman, we all get more heavy and guitar is coming back. Love from a banana
Banana, thx for Santana mention, even in jest. He was a pretty huge inspiration for me early on. Still is. I do like to play with feeling and of course Santana is one of the best at it. Yes it definitely would be cool to hear more guitar music. Thanks for the cool comment man, I really appreciate it.
Hmm, Miami Vice? I'm guessing its the synth portion. Jan Hammer did the theme for Miami vice and he was big into synth. That was a very cool theme song and the show was pretty cool too. Don't tell anybody but I had a Sonny Crocket blazer and pants back in the day!! Thanks bro.
Much appreciate the listen and comment. I do like the combination of synth and guitar but I don't it that often. This synth loop was made several years ago when I was experimenting more with electronic music. I just ran across it while rummaging through some bass files and it grabbed me.
Thanks for the listen and comment Zoot. Yes there is quite a bit of effects in the signal chain here. Besides the Wah pedal I'm also using a pitch shifter to obtain the harmony. I'm also using the whammy bar quite a bit to bend a lot of the notes in and out. Hendrix used an Octavia pedal quite often in his soloing, I'm using boosted octave fuzz, driving the amp hard, with some added reverb and delay.
Hello,
Great song with a wonderful lead guitar. Although I havent seen the series, I can easily imagine that this consistent drive fits well into a film sequence. The mix and mastering are good. Everything just fits together well.
Best regards,
Manuela
Thanks for listening and taking time to drop the comment. The series I'm referring to is based on JRR Tolkiens the "Silmarillion"which is the precursor to the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Its basically the introduction of evil in Middle Earth and the backstory about the Dark Lord Sauron. I'm glad you like the track, I'm hoping to be able to work up a few more soon.

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : This song was not supposed to be the fourth track of "Diverse waves", but it finally is. Anyway it's a rock oriented track with some interesting sounds. I hope you like it. Worked in zenbeats DAW, by Roland.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
Description : This track was like the inhale after an exhale of aggressive industrial-electro-sludge tracks that I had put out that summer and fall. This was the more reserved, and introspective winter track. It's nothing spectacular, but I still really enjoy it. I hope you do too. Take care. V.
