This one miss only some lyrics, i'm waiting for my girlfriend to make some... Made exclusively with STS3000 + MasterVerb + MasterChorus + MasterFlanger + Delay S.

I'll upload it again as soon as the lyrics are done. Have to investigate how to record voice correctly before.

Comments are welcome!!! And appreciated !

smooth guitar playing, marcus. i started out as a guitar player as well, but my style is kinda 'rough'. i gave up practising solo's a long time ago. now i'm more interested in the harmonic aproach (i hardly use standard tuning anymore, some tunings are so 'rich' you can make fantastic chord progressions with just one or two fingers (i hope you understand what i'm trying to say...)).
'bout the track: well as you said yourself, it's not finished. first i thought 'why bring in some vocals?' but after a while, the song lacked something indeed. personally i'd give the drum tracks an electronic (d'n'b) touch.
did someone mention 'master' fripp reviewing algorhythm's 'problem of evil'?
another good one as an example would be elliot sharp (i only have one song from him on a compilation cd (tectonics:krkd, taken from 'field&stream') it's d'n'b with excellent guitar leads, very moody.
the song isn't finished you say? well no official rating then. :wink:

Well, i'd be interrested in that! I've reached a point where i do not progress anymore, need more input!

If only i could be as good! Man i would be happy! Well your right about drums, they are pretty dull. Really is only a looping section for keeping the beat. I'm really having trouble with making drums tracks. I need the help of one of my friends who's a drummer, but he's not really available now. Must learn more by myself for sure...

great guitar, but could use some vox.
and as a drummer, well, yeah. :wink:

same problem over here as well concerning drumtracks. a friend said i can use one of his old kits to learn how to beat the skins (does this sound ambigous to you algorhythm? :wink: ). hope to understand rhythms better this way (see you again in five years time :lol: ).
about alternate tunings: i gave up guitar music a few years ago, until i heard motorpsycho (best rock band around imho). i tried to play their songs, but couldn't manage, 'till i wanted to check out their lyrics and saw to my suprise almost all their songs had alternate tunings. check out http://motorpsycho.fix.no/musicbox/guitartab/
(can't figure out right now how to make this a real link, suggestions?)
as a result, i bought this book: 'the complete book of alternate tunings' by mark hanson. this was two years ago, and since then, my PRS and i have refound the ultimate love affair.
if sonic youth (another band that inspired me to pick up the guitar again) is on your list, you can have a look at http://ils.student.utwente.nl/main/s/so ... ar.tunings
it's a whole new world, believe me.

i heard of robert fripp being a guitar guru, but don't really know his music (i think he did some bits on a future sound of london album), there's so much music around.

have fun tuning your guitar.

Aaaahh... this is smooth. Something I'd looooove to remix. It's hard letting such nice "real" guitars go by un-funked up and all chopped up, etc.
Is it that you're getting used to the Pulsar workflow? The 'sound' itself is settling down in a very good way. Not the usual 'lectro way that's seen in most Pulsar users, which is cool too. I mean, rave and trance ain' all musics about ya know.
Something I'd love to have tequila sunrise with, on the beaches of the Pulsar Island. :smile:

Yeah, this is exactly it. I got myself a Pulsar1+ and some good nearfields monitor not so long ago, in addition to my Luna. I was making Music when i was a teen, playing Metalica and thing like that with a band. I stop completly for almost 8 years i donno why. Last winter i buyed a new guitar, and it was all over again! But, after 8 years, got to find my style again, which also as evolved even without playing.

I'm usualy not so bad at improvisation, but composing is a bit new. It like back to school for me :smile: Well, i suspect i'll be able to do real music soon! :grin:

Thank again for those comments! They help me get it on!

Good monitors a vital man. (and you've seen my other on fire thread about monitors)
Anyway, keep up the great work! I'm looking to see MORE from you. :smile:Get it on! Bring in on!

hey marcus, pretty cool song you got there... reminds me of Pat Metheny; where the hell is that voice now???
