Ocean - DeadPixel

30th Nov 2010 04:56 - 15 years ago
Description : A purrty song I wrote about the ocean (after going there) You could call it Avant Surf Punk Metal. It uses odd time signature of 7/2 and 12/4. UPDATED!!! no more recording buzz, removed the organ, and the timing is much better.

Sounded really good! I love the fact that you used an uncommon time signature.. Something about changing it up catches me off guard and I tend to listen more intently than normal. Very nicely done!

thanks, I do believe this site is far to overpopulated with songs in 4/4 lol.

Using different time signatures and, well, the whole piece reminds me of King Crimson. The guitar is mean like Robert Fripp's in some of the band's meaniest pieces. Good job. I like it.

King Crimson eh? Never thought of it that way, but I do see your point, thanks!

Lovin the guitar work on this one, it rocks! Really cool use of unusual time signatures! This has a really epic feel to it! Awesome that the ocean inspired you to create this! Well done! Faved for sure!

thanks, I knew it was going to be a surf rock type song, but I just had to kick it up a notch with the time signature.

I was trying to count off the timing and couldn't, haha, you really switched it up nicely, the chorus sounded like a slow 3/4 timing, dang! The guitars sounded nice and the waves are a nice touch. Always cool to hear something different!

thanks, lol and don't feel bad I had a bit of trouble with the timing for recording, and I wanted the timing to be near perfect...so needless to say it took me awhile.

This is sweet. Loe that opening and the guitar is fan-#####-tastic. Drums are right on, nice transitions. The piece is begging for vocals (but not mine, lol). Nice way to finish.

Awesome

Faved (I would have donloaded, but............)

An excellent piece of work! Im gonna experiment on changing my beats per bar and such... This was great guitar work and ocean intro and outro was excellent!

thanks, I actually updated this track with better timing and recording quality, but for some reason it keeps playing the old crappy version.

I agree with eshar, good music is good music and this is good music. Kind of reminds me of Link Wray type music. Ever listen to him? I like the guitar work, wish it had some gnarly vox (not offering, I'm far from gnarly)

DeadPixel replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
thanks, and no, I've never heard of this Link Wray, but I will definitely look into him. And I'm not sure about vocals...I kinda like it without them lol

Yeah this is nice, like the rolling waves intro then the melody works its way in nicely. Time signature is intriguing and different. Your stuff is a nice refreshing change on the site I'll definitely take a listen to more. - DF
