The Weak Force

Couldn't sleep and trying to finish a project that should have been done last week so of course I'm messing around with other things. Started with going over some of my earlier tracks to make them a little more listenable, part of which was fixing the distortion on a bass which sounds pretty bad.

I couldn't get anything to work, so as I often do when a sound is giving me shit I subbed it for a piano so I could keep moving forward, then started running it through the distortion fx chain. This gave me the idea to start a new track where I would run two pianos through guitar cabs and distort the living crap out of them until they basically sounded like guitars... which is how I ended up here.

 I've also been thinking about a pair of songs called "The Weak Force/The Strong Force" that will compliment each other utilizing similar motifs and contrast using song sets from opposite sides of the spectrum. This is an early clip from a demo I'm working on for this project, still working out the parameters, still trying to get a handle on the distortion.




Also, wanted to say thanks for everyone who enjoyed the intro for the Christmas Pod. The feedback has been mind-blowing. Thanks to everyone who dropped an email or mentioned it on twitter or even thought it and haven't gotten around to telling me yet. It means so much.

Thursday Morning

A little something new I'm working on, still trying to nail down all the sounds, but I imagine it won't deviate too far from the instruments you hear in this version (two pianos and a cello) but this one has at least a little more in it before it's done. I'm thinking it will double or triple in length before all is said and done... not everything I do is under a minute. Apologies for the weak-ass stinger on the end, I found that it was slightly better then having nothing in it's place, but that particular bit is indeed temporary.
