First song from project-shed

Congrats on your first venture, isn't this stuff great. And welcome to the forum.

How was this all done? I'm hearing a rhythm guitar and a lead guitar played live, and I think loops for the rest? Sounds real good, nice wa wa work, and nice grooves. Creative use of effects , this piece takes me on a exotic journey.

Your nailed it fep....more loops then me but ya gotta kinda start somewhere....just so much to learn and explore so I got kinda lost in the sause...so to speak. Hopefully as I go alone I'll be playing more and loopin' less...but heck it just great fun either way.

Ihansen, Glad you enjoyed the lil trip...with drug testing in the workplace this is the best I can do ;)

Thanks for the input and warm welcome!

See you both soon!

Peace,

Tom of project shed

to be honest it just kinda formed.....I really had nothing to say...but the "feel" was born about half way through....I guess all those drugs in high school are finally paying off....(now where did I put those car keys??) :)

Thanks for the welcome! I have no doubt I'll learn tons here.

had a load of fun playing/putting it together...it's my first time out "looping" so to speak....long way off from the 4 channel tascam I spent 17000 hours on! 20 year ago..lol

Aaaah, I dig this piece! I am a sucker for sound fx, and this tune is full of them - and man, did you do a good job using them! Congratulations on this very exciting, mysterious, sometimes scary but well crafted instrumental piece. That sitar loop is incredible as is that sweep that appears every now and then. The percussions are deep and the vox fx are well chosen too. All in all - a piece that took me some place, even it sounded like a hostile one. Could have been part of a soundtrack for a Vietnam movie ...
Great job, welcome to the forum, Tom!

Very nice stuff Tom, this had me chilled out within seconds! Really interesting collage of sounds and textures, falling somewhere between the French band Air, and Pink Floyd circa Animals...a cool sound indeed.

Enoyed that a lot!

I tried to listen but am getting a "key not loaded" message. I'll try again later.

Hey Tom,

I was able to listen to it finally. Very nice! I love the drums although they seem to become quite a bit less prominant around 2:10 it seems. Nice use of sound effects. I like the flanged part too. Very moody piece. A very pleasant listen!

the funny thing is a few months ago I bought the soundtrack on double LP (yes I'm a vinyl nut too) and it was 99% the actual movie sounds as opposed to just a musical sound track...it was deep and I didn't at all think of it during recording! But I guess our minds capture sounds and emotions then stores them...even when we're really not attempting to do so...BTW glad you enjoyed the ride!

This was a really cool song! Not to mention the first from Project Shed! This song reminded me of when I was in the Amazon with aliens flying by in their ufo's and then military helicopters in pursuit. The only problem is that rain you have in the song is definitely not from a jungle, but from a city. I pray you correct this obnoxious attempt to beguile us next time you have us listen to a song.
Very well, carry on.

Duane,
That was "Apocalypse Now". Actually, it was Martin. But yes, I got the same vibe.
Tom,
That little hint of Hueys really drove it home. That is a sound I will forever associate with Viet Nam. For years I thanked God every day I didn't go there. Missed it by a hair.
Very cool mystical vibe to this. Quietly insideous, like a snake. Dark, yet warm.
Welcome, and keep 'em coming.

This is another great tune... Once again, love the percussion, esp. how you have it mixed in just enough in the background as to not be overpowering.
