So, I posted a reply in the "what instrument's do you play" thread, but I thought I'd start something up here as well. Â

I've played music for several many years now, multiple influences, and was wondering what you guys think? Â Shameless self promotion, but it allows for unbiased opinions, which are aetherial gold to musicians. Â

This is a recording I did some time ago. Â I lost my drummer as he moved out of state a while back, so I've been working on programming drums and what-not. Â I also really enjoy sound production and have a very humble home studio. Â There may be more where this came from down the road, but in the meantime... Â

Caution... it's a little... noisy Big Grin

Â Thanks, and enjoy the day!

I'm not a musician myself, so I can't really provide accurate criticism, but I will say that I enjoyed the piece. Besides mucking about on GarageBand for all of ten minutes, my only experience with musicians in person has been with just one who's played guitar for a long time. He has used high-end equipment in the past but mostly plays music from the 60s onwards--talented, but not to my tastes. The "hardness" of this is actually more up my alley. (For some reason my brain swapped in Mandolin when I saw the Mandarin title, so I was surprised to hear heavy guitar.

It does remind me of something that could be used as an opening for a TV or video series for some reason. Sounds very good/clear for being recorded on "humble" equipment, too. Keep up the good work!

Is it you on all the instruments? I have not the foggiest notion on how those things work Blush

For some reason, some of the parts give off a 70's rock tone to me...very interesting Thumbsup

Â Yes, that's me on everything. Â My band wrote the tune a while back, but my drummer moved out of state and I lived out of town from my bassist, so I just recorded it all myself and did the drums digitally. Â Thanks for the listen Smile
