So over the last few years I've mostly stuck to electronica (dance/chillout), and some classical thanks to Edirol Orchestral, but last week it dawned on me that I have a sweet guitar (rondo!) and a functional bass (stole my ex-girlfriend's squire!) and I listen to rock, so I should really give it a shot. Anyways, I've been plugging away the last five or six days and thought I'd get some stuff out there to see what people think.
Alrighty, this one started as a game of music tennis (half-baked idea, wanted to do something like photoshop tennis where you start with a picture, add/change something, send it to someone, they add/change something, they send it back etc) except with music. I was doing it with a friend who has a good sense for music and got a copy of Reason but really have never written music. He wrote half of the bongo line, and the random beeps that come in a little ways in, and after that I just decided to do it myself. Also, this was my first track I've played guitar on
This one came out of me messing around with the high-gain distortion settings on my modelling pedal. It's nothing fancy, but its balls-out and totally sweet.
Lastly, this one I wrote start to finish from about 10pm last night to now, I'd been playing around with the rhythm guitar riff for a while and finally decided to try to use it. It's also featuring ME on vocals, which means the vocals are awful and they will make baby jesus cry, but all my friends who can sing half-decently weren't around and I wanted to get it recorded while the idea was fresh.
So yeah, any/all feedback is appreciated. I know I play guitar sloppily (still getting used to using a pick, I play acoustic), but still, if you think that, or anything else, is the part thats killing the song let me know :)
(also note that all drums probably sound like crap, in no small part to the fact that it was entirely done in fruity loops with sample packs) |

@ tennis: OK, it'll be rock when I'll be the king of Spain. :D
The guitar part is quite good at the middle, it could be modded to a decent melodic trance track.
@ asdf: I couldn't listen to it after 8 seconds. It's just horrible for my ears.
@ Back roads: the only thing I can say is to stop singing if you wish to shere it with others. :)
Your music seems to be much better when you don't TRY to make rock, just play some gutar and stick to electronica.
Sorry to ruin your rock career. ;) |

Tennis - not bad actually. Quite catchy. Kind of keep thinking it's going to build into something more but never does and that's what I like about it.
Didn't listen to the others except the trance track. Pretty good actually. Nice arps and melodies. Excellent sound quality. What you using? Track could have some more continuity. Overall pretty good though. |
