this is really well done.

Thank you, the production/mixing was done well kinda by accident.

I love your guitar playing and mixing. I've literally got tears in my eyes from the way that I miss that late 60's guitars like The Byrds and Jimmy Hendrix... And yours.... Awfully well done! This is my first music download - ever. No joke. Good goin!

If you haven't already listened to it, I think that you would enjoy Holtz's The Planets. He was pretty wild for his time, but of course was limited by what purely mechanical instruments could do. No electric guitar (what a wonderful hybrid!) or synth, let alone multitrack editing and mixing. And filtering,,, And....

What instruments are you playing? What software tools?

I've heard some of Holtz's music, and I -did- enjoy what little bit it was. And I know what you mean about missing hearing that kinda music nowadays, it is a pity.

My equipment is as follows: Ibanez Artcore AM73 (guitar), Peavy Milestone III (bass), some kinda Yamaha workstation (a beginner's model type thing), and my acoustic at the time was an Olympia Tacoma (or something like that), and for drums/sequences I had FL studio. To mix it all I used Soundforce.

Thanks for listening.

Thanks for the data. Was there a synth in there, or did the Yamaha workstation do it, or was that one of the instruments that you mentioned?

Real pity!!!!

Roughly how old are you, if you don't mind saying? I'm low sixties.

It's on my main page. :P

21 - that's truely remarkable. You are accomplished with so many instruments already, and production, too!

And you like 60's acid rock guitar! Far friggin out!!

Yeah, I wish I had been born in the early 60's. But at least in my generation I can enjoy stuff like The Tangent and Virgin Black. :D

Do those two groups have electric guitar like the 60's and like yours?

Oooh, their style don't sound nothing like this. But they both have pretty good music. But Virgin Black is a funeral doom metal band, and The Tangent is like neo-prog (uh, in case you don't know it)

I hate FL studio i can't do crapola in that at all, i think i did maybe two recordings ever with drums i had made in that program and they so (SUCKED) ;p

I just donno how to use that program.... (i'll probably end up double commenting as i did this comment pre-emptively as i was curious what equipment you used, regularly and since you explain it to someone else as i was skimming while the mp3 dled)

...figured why not. :P

I like the drums lots. as well as that crazy keyboard noise you use, it sounds like it came from a few songs from the Beatles' Abby Road album.

I haven't heard that one. I'm sure I've heard a song or two on the radio or something.

This actually reminds me more of a Lain track from the OST.... forget the track name or number or which version of the OST it was.... but the squeely guitar sort've reminded me of that.

An floyd after they kicked syd out. :P

Now it went into something very much different.

Interesting recording. Beginning pissed me off, for some reason but otherwise it's a nice recording. ^_^

Ooooh that piano reminds me of Erik Satie!

The distortion guitar kind've pisses me off in the recording.... i donno why.

Interesting works anyways.

Pisses you off...? I don't understand what you could possibly mean. I can understand if it's not your thing really, it's a bit opptimistic sounding.

i donno i have a grudge against david gilmour, for some reason. An that just entirely reminds me of his stuff.

this is pretty sweet. you're getting some pretty nice sounding guitar tones. when the drums come in it sounds great. the bass and guitar work really well together and the organ fills things out nicely. makes a really nice warm glow.

i dunno about the tone on that piano patch, though...

Thank you very much!

But I know what you mean. To me it sounds kinda hollow.

I can't believe I hadn't listened to this before...thank goodness for slow days that let you catch up on stuff. This is so pretty, and highly dynamic ^.-.^

Thanks so much for listening, Zennypants! I'm glad you liked it. I never thought of it as dramatic before ^^

I said dynamic, as in constantly changing and always interesting, but it's dramatic too. ^.-.^

Oh.

this is kewl, good work.

Thanks bud, glad you liked it.
