Avant-Garde Bass Solo from yours truly

OK, I know I've been making some weird music lately, and for that I offer several beyond several apologies.

Unfortunately, this one is pretty weird too. But I figured it might get some props because I'm making all of the sounds with a bass, some effects and a looper.

It's named after one of my favorite Jethro Tull albums, it is "Heavy Horses"

Sounds nothing at all like tull, I just feel by time it gets to the end, it sounds like a bunch of satanic black metal horses running through a strange forest. Which is pretty black metal, in a hippyish sort of way.

I swear, when I started out, I wanted to do totally poppy music, it comes out sounding nothing at all like Jefferson Starship, which was my original intent.

Cool atmospheric vibe.
Can't go wrong with somebody that has Magma, SGM, and Robert Fripp as their top friends.

I enjoyed it muchly, I've really got to get a looper sometime. What effects did you use?

Are you in that 302 Acid Band that sent me a friends request? If so, I am currently listening to and digging the hell out of your songs. If not, uh.. check 'em out. Ha.

Thanks for the listens, for effects I had Rat II distortion, Digitech BSW, a Boss Delay, and the Boss Compressor. The looper is a Digitech Jamman... which I really really have come to enjoy.

Thanks again for the listens.

very cool matt, I have liked everything you put on your drrskt page, and this is no exception!

Really cool stuff.

I liked Dork The Stork a lot.

Matt Till · #8 10-03-2007, 04:11 PM

Thanks dudes.

Ha, yeah Dork the Stork is a strange one, I didn't even spam that one. I took a "kids theme song" I wrote several years ago in a midi program. I put some effects on it, some ambient surroundings, and ended up with that. Dork the Stork is being submitted to a Pittsburgh experimental music label comp which I'm looking forward to. I think I'll promo that, because it's people who are much much better than me and I'm stoked just to be on it.
