Kill Television!
Track Seventeen from Error Supremacy. Some scales, patterns and modalities reminiscent of stuff from Deconstructing Shred.
Phixer
A remix of a Photek thing; I tweaked just about everything, added my own sequenced drums and of course some guitar riffs. Absynth helped out considerably….
Open Fire
For this month’s Guitar Collective task I took a “pella” from the wonderful Kate Lessing and created a kind of metal treatment, if you will, complete with crunching rhythm guitars, ridiculous leads, some lushy synth pads and of course, all in E Minor.
Aeoli
This was going to suffice for my Guitar Collective Task for October. But after hearing a colleague’s stellar entry I realized that I needed to do something else for that particular thing.
So this is me playing with this “ethnic instruments” VST, primarily in the Aeolian mode, hence the song’s title. Only about two minutes. I added some “free” drumming to the mix just to make it more confused.
Sansgrog
Larry Coryell and Phillip Catherine performed a jazz tune they called “the no-booze blues.” Well, I’m finding that I have to get on the old proverbial water wagon and stay there for good. Or things will turn out very bad. So this little tune, which BTW meets a current Guitar Collective Task, is called Sansgrog, or “without grog.”
Stereo Input
The second track of Pettier Onus, and the completion of a Guitar Collective task as well.
Catching up again
I’m in the process (always in process, doncha know) of customizing a theme for this beleaguered site. But in the meantime (or kind time, have it either way) I’m going to post a number of compositions I’ve completed over the past couple months. Some are experiments in VST instruments, others are guitar “fusion” experiments. Namaste.
Cryptych
A slightly spacy piece, featuring some backwards lead towards the end. The drums are canned, but lack not a bit of attitude.
