I put new strings on the bass this week, in preparation for cleaning up Playing with the Big Boys. Now it’s practice time, gotta build up those callouses again.
Month: July 2010
I was uploading Head In The Game yesterday and, upon listening to the mp3, I decided there were a couple of places the drums could be improved. So I tightened them up. No, I will not tell you whereabouts in the song it was.
After the album was released, I moved my notes about each song into a dedicated page which you may find here:
Fruit of the Steel Tree : Head In the Game
Alternatively, follow the album link in the main menu above on this page.
I need to stop messing about and get serious about completing these songs and then releasing them. Starting now.
Okay, the first track on the album will be a slow, instrumental orchestral-type thing that builds to a crescendo and segues into the first “real” song.
The demos were titled “The Great Escape” and so that is what it is called.
Featuring:
- Roland Fantom FA-76 (strings, lead synth)
- Cakewalk Dimension Pro (strings)
- Korg TR-Rack (strings)
- Roland VK-8 (hammond organ)
I’ve finished the Telecaster tracks on GodProg:Enlightenment, and moved on to :Omnipotence.
There’s something about the Telecaster… it just sounds so great. In some ways it is sad to replace the existing tracks, which feature the Ibanez 540s, my old faithful. But it’s all about the tone, and the Telecaster’s got it.
The end of the track has a solo in some freaking strange time signature, reminiscent of Siberian Khatru but I don’t care.
The GodProg suite is slated for Album#2 so technically I’m not supposed to be working on this yet. But the only way I’ve found to keep moving forward is to follow the muse.
Still following the muse on this “God Program” suite. I’m working on a section called “Enlightenment” with guitars. The Telecaster continues to shine.
