Thanks!

One thing I forgot to mention is that there are 2 specific "odes" to Immortal. Any guesses?

Bump! With all the activity in the stoner thread I would have thought this would be popular

Matt Till · #5 10-30-2008, 05:32 PM

Eh, I don't know dude, the riffs were cool... but it was 2 minutes of the first riff one minute of another riff, then 2 minutes of the first riff. Maybe I would have dug it more with real drums/guitar, but it couldn't hold my interest.

Nyarlathotep · #6 10-30-2008, 05:34 PM

Was it good for a first try and the 2 hours TOTAL of work I put into it?

Matt Till · #7 10-30-2008, 06:13 PM

Don't take offense to it or anything, I just really don't care for the minimalist side of doom except in a few rare instances. The fake drums and fake guitar offer very little content, so it's like... well, it's exactly listening to you play 2 riffs along with a very minimal midi track.

Good riffs, but I would just need more content if this were something I'd plan on listening to regularly. Let me guess, the west coast of Canada doesn't have a doom scene, right? If you could find a band, that would help you a lot. I've got a stoner rock type band going now and I think we work together really well, they came from a punky/hardcore scene. They have a more structured style than I do, I can write some slick riffs, but I can't make them flow into a song. Collaborating with my new band is helping me tremendously. I say, seek more influence, even if you can't find it locally. Listen to your favorite bands/songs and figure out why they work as well as they do and totally rip them off. I've been doing it for years, and look where it got me!... nowhere.

Keep at it, the world needs more people who think sideways.

Thanks for the mini-review

chrisisnotevil · #9 10-30-2008, 06:18 PM

you could always solicit other tb'ers to record drum and guitar parts for what you've written and have it become a virtual talkbass band? or am i talking nonsense?

Nyarlathotep · #10 10-30-2008, 06:19 PM

That would be a great idea! Its something I was hoping to do with a dude here locally that I use to work with, but **** just never happened.....

chrisisnotevil · #11 10-30-2008, 06:23 PM

oh dear. i think we may have inadvertantly created a monster...

WEll, We work with what we have, Right Daniel? I mean the fact that you are talented enough to put all that together in under 2 hrs. - says that if you had more to work with you - might have made a masterpiece or something - Keep it up man - we all need cool A$$ Artistic Influences in our lives.
I look forward to your Next Shot

THANKS AGAIN MAN!

Nyarlathotep · #15 11-02-2008, 05:26 PM

I hope 1 more bump is allowed after getting some feedback

Thunderscreech · #16 11-04-2008, 09:15 PM

Might I suggest a bit of grind or fuzziness would do the bass riffs some good, and make it a little more Krushing than it already is.

I like what I hear.

Nyarlathotep · #17 11-05-2008, 07:52 AM

Grind eh?

I might wait till I get my new amp. I might be able to add some grind with it

MakiSupaStar · #18 11-06-2008, 07:12 PM

I love ya buddy but I must say you're lucky I'm on my iPhone. This little project of yours had me scrambling for the poop on your head picture.

Nyarlathotep · #19 11-06-2008, 07:48 PM

oh crap! (pun intended)

Man that was a BAD pic to begin with LOL

rcubed · #20 11-06-2008, 10:00 PM

I'm amused so you've done something right. I've yet to compose a "heavy" song yet even though I love stoner rock/doom metal.
