This is a portal back to seventies for me ... I have long hair again!!
I have hair!!
Very nice guitar work.
Very nicely put together.
Lots of variation throughout this and it works.

What a great track Evan!

Like your 'non-compromise' attitude...play 'live' what you can is a special treasure here between the electro-trap-hip hop site...hats off...

Headbanging and waving in 4 different parts...the special bouquet is from the 1 minute mark...that is amazing...

Couldn't be criticism...this is a mega prog hit...:-)

Handshake, Danke

Hi! I love your stile. Good work man.

Oye, my good lad Evan.

This song is intense! I think I had two heartattacks and a stroke while listening. Couldn't handle the adrenaline. What did you use to record the guitars? Mic'd? CabClone? Direct in? Felt a little bit lacking in mids to my ears, but that is not a bad thing. Gives the track a sort of European sound to it. Great job as always my heart-attack-and-stroke-inducer Evan.

Wow just wow, this is an epic piece of music. I REALLY like the fact that most of it is made by your fingers and not by clicking a mouse. It is something I try to do as well, and I always happy to hear that others doing so too. Nothing against adding the odd electronioc stuff, or loop, but the majority should be "real". I read what the others wrote, it would be useless to more or less repeat what they wrote. In my opinion this is a very good song, and if it were mine I would be very proud of it.

Had to check this track out after the recommendation...Now that changeup at 1:52 is what I'm talking about, nice one!..great stuff man, at some point in time in any good passage of music (like this) there's a defining moment where for arguments sake gravity is defeated for a split second and things take off or conversely the recalcitrant ghost of melancholia makes an appearance, for bass players it's usually the former for keyboard and guitar players the latter (though Jaco could choose either seemingly at will) when it happens it's always the sign of good music....to this day Justin Bieber hasn't achieved it (I'm no authority on his discography, but I've heard enough!)......excellent track! cheers Dave

Well hello, my endlessly patient but entirely intolerant bassic bro.

How does it go?

Just some replies to your replies:

You may get your "levelling Syria" wish/bet as I think the RAF (British Air Force) have already started bombing. Maybe there will be retaliation bombing campaigns over meth-heavy Ozark regions. Be on your guard and if you see something, say something.

"we'd have to get Behnam out of Iran before we level it."

How about not bombing anywhere, you crazy Yank?

" adding more wang into the picture"

I promise I will add no wang. Sounds like Constellation might be able to accommodate a 1-incher but 11 will surely be too much for a microvag. Terrible risk of tearing.

Teeth pain is mainly over but damn it took ages (10 days). Not sure I had any injection sites as I was under full anaesthetic so utterly oblivious to everything.

"I may be more Sliderboy than Sliderman for a while, till my lap-steel balls drop."

If you're going with the youthful/inexperienced analogy for your current level of slide proficiency, I think you'll have to be SlideBaby. Maybe I'm more Grand Slide Daddy or Grand Slide Wizard. No, I'm not really that great but I have been doing it for about 10 years. Slide is hard, with lots of accuracy required to avoid undesired notes. I'm looking forward to hearing your first slide creation.

Try dropping your balls on your lap steel. I do that quite often to get a different tone. And that way you know your music is nothing if not ballsy.

I was going to give The Evanator an end of year review but I think I've run out of words.

Nomad, the Chosen One, the One who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who choose to hear it and a warning for those who do not.

I love the harmonic interplay of the guitars in the opening section, accented by the washes and beat. The overall progression of the piece is impressive, with the heavy bass in the 2nd movement lifted by the synths into a resolution in the 3rd. That reversed bass guitar in the third section is yes, very unique! I really enjoyed listening to this track. thanks for creating it.

Evan, Mister Evan. What's happnin' your way, man? How was your Thanksgiving? Pleasant, I hope.

Remember that time I said you're on the verge of breaking through into that sound that's all your own? Well, my friend, you are well past that threshold. Granted, this one still has some pretty hefty nods to those who's name shall remain unspoken, but it's like the equivalent of my "Red On The White" in that sense. It's got a strong Floyd vibe, but it's not intended to sound like them. Ya know?

I have to agree with Tumbleweed, man. This one is clearly your best yet. I kind of feel like saying this on damn near every track you put out cheapens the meaning, but when you come back with each track, it's improved far beyond the last. The composition, the mixing, the instrumentation, all of it is exactly how it should be.

I have no critiques, criticisms, or suggestions, man. You nailed it as far as I'm concerned!

I'd still love to do a collab one of these times. You know, put in my synths real Sloe like right into your Bass hole...er, uhhh....NO HOMO! I need to go wash off the filth now.

Later, man.
Aaron.

Wow I have been blessed with an opportunity to listen to this absolute gem. This is beyond amazing and professional. Not only are you a talented musician but you are phenomenal at mixing. This track sounds awesome in headphones. You pretty much immersed the listener into your world. I am just floating around in this maze of musical magic. Love every second from the guitar to the bass to the piano to that "throat singing" effect.

What a journey! Great work!

Hi Evan,

Long time no talk. I saw your track and alway know you put out some fine quality music, so figured I'd give it a spin. Really like this from the very start. Some very nice elements involve...Good job, my friend.

Ciao,
M.

I like the idea of "3 movements" - sort of a nod to classical form - and maybe it gives you more freedom to bring in a variety of styles/genres - which I feel you do in an effective way. The live playing is fantastic. I love that new synth and groove at around 1:15-1:20. The throat singing is crazy fresh. Cool track. Great work!

speaking of hungarian bands, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_FJEoXwkNE and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F7b4skyUy4 HAHAHA Bet you'd never expect to see bagpipes, accordion, fiddles, oud all used in metal! You'd probably like a band called Faun. They use ancient acoustic instruments combined with modern musio, not metal but very good. Alot of your music reminds me of their style. I got a hurdy gurdy vst hoping to make some music with soon as well as loops. Love acoustic guitar, I need a full sized one!! Very cool track! See hat great things come out of experimentation, as long as your not making bioweapons (zombies, monsters, viruses, ect) that is LOL!

There are more than a few very creative people on the loop but I dont think I have heard anything more creative that has been actually played with real instruments and sounds made by the composer...it is not only well done ..it is damn good listening...just a great track Evan...fav from me....Ed

Oh man the intro guitars are awesome! Perfectly clean and just the right amount of delay. I always love to hear another guitar players work and this sounds good man. I dig it.
