Danke, whats up, my friend?

Sabbath is one of my all time favorites. At least the Sabbath with Ozzy. I'm not a fan of Dio/Sabbath.

I'm glad you liked this one.

Take care good sir.
Aaron.

Vigwig, how are you? Thanks for stopping by. Even if it was inspired by Tumbleweed.

Typically, I don't spend that much time on one track. But, like Neomorpheus said, I am a perfectionist. Getting my loops to mesh together took a lot of working and reworking. I would come up with a great riff, but then would have to rework it to get the flow right with the one before or after it. A lot of times it was just one note sounding off. Whether it was in the wrong place kn the scale, or too much or too little sustain. Palm mute or open. There were a lot of obstacles in thatvsense. Then, much like Staticnomad said, there was a lot of fiddling about with settings. I had a hell of a time getting my mix right. So, between being a perfectionist, and stubborn as hell, it took a long time, and I wasnt going to let it beat me. Kind of fitting really. Considering the meaning of this track.

Thanks again for the kind words, I hope all is well with you.

Take care.

Ed, good to hear from you.

I definitely put a lot of time into this one. There were a lot of riffs that got cut and reformed. This was one of those tracks thatvwas nothing but trouble for the longest time. But, Iwasn't about to let it win! I'm too stubborn to let that happen.
Like I told Eric, it always means a lot when talented musicians like yourself compliment my work. It keeps me wanting to not only do more, but constantly improve. So, with that being said, thank you!

Take care my friend!
Aaron

Thanks, man. I'm glad you enjoyed it. The other two aren't doom, but they still rock pretty good. Let me know if you dig 'em.

Take care.
V

Thanks.

Thank you. i’ll Check out your work.

Take care.

I’m glad you like it, but it’s not for sale. I appreciate the kind words.

Ed! How are you, mister?

Technology can sometimes be a real pain, can’t it?

I’m not really one to categorize into genres either. I figure, if it’s good it’s good. It doesn’t have to be confined.

This was one of those “winter tunes”. I generally get a little darker and (no pun intended) chilier with my music in the winter time.

I think that part right around the 3 minute mark would be categorized by most as dubstep. I just call it some fun with synths, and splicing.

Anyhow, I hope all is well. Hopefully you guys are starting to see signs of springtime life up there.

Take care, Ed. As always, it’s good to hear from you.
Aaron.

Thanks, man. I’m sure not a whole lot has changed in 3 years. I haven’t been all that busy lately. But keep checking in. I might have something new.

Thanks again for the kind words.
Take care.

Neo, what’s happening, bud?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. (And everyone else.) life’s been a weird trip lately. Keeping me busy.

Anyhow, I’m glad you liked this one. It’s not real high on my list of favorites of mine, but I dig it. It was kind of the track that got me back into working new tunes. I kind of fell out for awhile.

I finally finished the last track of my Overmyth trilogy, it’s a doom metal-ish thing that, to me, is slow low and heavy. Keep an eye out for it in the next couple days.

Catch ya later, mister. Take care.
Aaron.

Dominico, how are you? It’s not often that you comment on my work, so when you do, I take it as an honor. Especially when you leave kind words. Thank you!

Take care.

Orlando. How are you? I find it interesting that you mentioned the dark tones and everpresent tension along with the progression. The signature Valvedriver sound, if you will. I find it interesting, because much like my work, yours has a signature sound as well. Of course, yours is much lighter, and generally a more positive feeling, however. It all seems to have just a touch of hidden....melancholy (we’ll go with that word.) lying just below the surface. Not to mention, your skill at composition and instrumentation far surpasses my own abilities.

None the less, it’s always good to hear from you. Much like with Ed, I consider it a treat.

Take care, friend.
Aaron

Danke! How are you, friend? Well I hope.

I like the Apocalyptic idea. Maybe I’ll have to create a track specifically with that in mind.

It’s good to hear from you, mister!
Take care.
Aaron.

Eyedye, how ya doin?

Thanks for taking the time to listen, and comment, too. I'm glad you liked it enough to do so.
Pert 1 is here: https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/184039#comments if you want to check it out. It's a bit different than this one. Part 3 is in production now, so it should be up relatively soon.

Thanks again. I appreciate it!

Skol!

Ed, Hello!

Well, I guess it's official. I did just fine on the mixing. I imagine that if anyone would notice any problems, it would be you.

"Best metal I`ve heard on the Loop Aaron or a lot of other places as far as that goes"

That's a hell of a compliment, my friend! I don't take it lightly! Especially since it's not your preferred genre.

I thank you, sir, for the kindness and support!

take care.
Aaron

Thank you! (He said, a year late.)

Nicetones. How are you?

Thanks for stopping by! I'm glad you liked this. It's really the only one I have like it...for now.

Thanks again for the kind words.

Take care.
