The Post Your Own Music Thread

Very interesting I'd like to hear more of the back story about the project too.
 
Eike just posted on Facebook back in July that he still needed an electric guitar part for his song, and I volunteered to do it. It was definitely a different experience, I had to learn the song by ear, and then record just the raw signal to my PC, which is totally different from how I normally record things. All the neat effects were added on by him after the song was mixed I guess. It was a lot of fun and I'll be taking part in one of these again sometime. This whole youtube/internet musicians type thing seems to be the future of music, and has been growing exponentially over the past couple of years, and it is very exciting to be apart of.

I always wonder how all this is in sync. There must be some delay of some sort, somehow?

I don't think I understand the question. Do you mean how Eike is in synch with the rest of the performers? He is the only one playing live, everything else was pre recorded parts.

OK, I thought it was made to look like everybody did it live. Good you cleared that up. :)
 
Oh no. Here, perhaps a bit of details on Eike are necessary. Ein Astronaut is a one man band, on the original recordings he played all the instruments himself, and, as shown by that video I posted, there are a ton of instruments. Recently, he's began to play live concerts, and decided he'd have people re-record the instruments to be played on a screen behind him during his shows, while he sings or plays guitar or whatever. The guy is definitely an innovator, taking full advantage of the new technology.
 
hi fellow Irons - I have another new song on youtube - Siegfried (The Eternal, The Immortal)

please feel free to listen and comment!

This is a song that I've spent the past month working on. It's been a very long time I've recorded anything so it's good to be doing this again. Sound quality isn't great, but it's about as good as possible with the equipment I have. The song title comes from a random song name generator because I'm terrible at naming songs.
 
Not bad, Mosh. It has a good vibe (atmosphere) and I like the beginning of the wacky solo and the rough edge of the whole material is pretty fine with me. What I find more important than the sound quality is the following:

I'm afraid the timing of the playing is not that good. You hear that when the rhythm plays along. Pretty much out of sync.

By the way, I recognize some Rush influences later on (Hemispheres?). Or the heavy chords in Skunkwork's "I Will Not Accept the Truth".
 
I thought about sharing some of my improvisations/demos here even though they're shitty sounding (recording opportunities), but it appears I can't extract the files on my phone to my laptop. o_O

Thanks for listening and giving feedback! I've been trying to be better about timing on recordings, but it's certainly one of my weak spots.

I can definitely see how you'd hear Skunkworks in there, that was definitely the sort of vibe I was going for, though not directly Skunkworks influenced. Not sure about Rush but a few of those chords I lifted from Rush songs. Either La Villa Strangiato, Natural Science, or Jacob's Ladder. I'm having trouble remembering at the moment. I've always loved Lifeson's atypical chord voicings.
 
I really like to hear such chords as well.

And Roy Z's comment about finding Skunkworks sounding like Rush does make sense indeed. :)
 
Didn't know about such comments, I can definitely see where he'd get that.
 
I've done everything save playing the drums. I had a drummer put them down with me. :P

And thanks a lot! It's from my upcoming 2013 project, which I'm going to release on Spotify and stuff.
 
Awesome!! Plus I just learnt what Spotify is, which can be useful in the future!! Thanks Yax, continue keeping updated us old fucks :D
 
:D Spotify is the best streaming service there is. And it's grossing crazy amounts of money.
