thought i might as well post some songs from the album while i wait around for some equipment to arrive. I got a vocal compressor from a friend and waiting for him to deliver...vocals were clipping everywhere cos of the huge dynamic range between vocal passages on most of the songs, and i ended up with very very distorted vocals. No amount of effects is gonna fix that...
so heres 2 of the more moderately paced songs from the upcoming album, minus the vocals. Both are rough/dry mixes, just tracks slammed together without any post effects except some compression for the clipping.
07. A Life Artificial
09. Garbage King - written with Adam K. Thanks dude, you rawk!

Excellent shit.
Found it Alt/Jazz/Experimental - Good Vox, interesting phrasing, I catch a little J. Mascis slacker laid back feel.
Musical composition and arrangement were good, kept my interest through the songs.
Cool swells and bells in Finding Time.
Forever: mixing levels need to be polished a little for the vox. Needs to come out more.
Finding Time: mixing was OK, vox didn't have to compete with instruments.
Good quality work. You certainly stand out.
And the artwork is frikkin' beautiful. |
DUDE.. i had no idea you posted that! thanks for the kind words. Surprised you picked up J.Mascis out...cant say he was an influence, didnt listen much to Dinosaur Jr. I like him better when he's with The Fog. |

Wow. We had no idea you posted new tracks (you should post em on your myspace!)
But f**k! That's pretty epic stuff. I just heard 'Garbage King' and I must say..eventhough it didn't have vocals yet, that really made my jaw drop. Are you sure that's just a rough mix?? Cos it sounded pretty damn awesome already!! Reminds me so much of A Perfect Circle. Such epic-ness!
'A Life Artificial' is an awesome track as well. Parts of it reminded me of Stone Temple Pilot's 'Plush'. Wow..I can't wait to hear the album. There is a progressive feel to the song. You guys are amazing.
Damn. I'm listening to 'A Life Artificial' again..the intro verse chords are so awesome. You guys have inspired us to try and do something similar next time we feel like writing a new tune!
Amazing!

woa..izz dude, thanks...youre giving me goosebumps. thanks...we'll support each other huh? You know damn well im a big fan of you guys 
hmmm..I cant say i drew upon APC for Garbage King...i'd like to think i have this 'database' of all the best riffs, licks, drum beats, bass melodies, poignent lyrics and vocal tunes in my head that ive collected over the years, that i 'access' during when i write my songs. Though i have to admit, i really love APC..maybe ive set a side more space for them..lol. Anyway, the rough melody and chorus lyrics(which i still cant make out) was written and recorded by Adam K. I disappeard with it for a few weeks and came up with this...i was a bit anxious though, afraid he might not like what he heard, cos he had already come up with a version of his own which is totally different from i came up with...but he was happy with it and im glad for that.
oi Teoh - Okta, that vocals in the chorus IS NOT my voice, its from Adams rough sketch which i overlayed over the chorus. So you tell adam to shh la ..hahahaha.
zooob: Dah dah, post lama la tu. I contacted him a few months back, and he sends me polite messages every now and then asking if im done recording yet...which everytime i come up with new and elaborate excuses.  Im almost there..ill come see him next month im sure. |

Kekeke ... Just following up with my clients. Take your time in recording. Better capturing a good performance rather than a rushed effort (which happens a lot with mainstream artists). Can't wait to start mixing the tracks  Of course, gotta finish MR Zubira's project first (he's getting famous in Europe now I hear???)
I promise I won't send you anymore "polite messages" ... till February 
Best Regards.
