"Buttercups and Candytuft", "Negation 2" -- by FALSE HARUSPEX (band collab)


"Buttercups and Candytuft", "Negation 2"

http://www.lightningmp3.c..ive/40859-Negation2.mp3


 
this is a pair of songs, off of an album i co-wrote with a group out of Vancouver Canada named "FALSE HARUSPEX".

it's hard to describe what this is, in general....
suffice it to say, it was a pretty epic project.

it's an hour long instrumental.
or actually, 13 instrumentals, that run along a 'theme'

a few of them get abruptly cut at the end, on the album, these songs run continuously for an entire hour, but they're all different.


False Haruspex (core group) wrote and arranged the basic tracks, i created solo guitar tracks on the basic 3-piece, some of the rhythms, and some melodies.

Gregory Straathof 
David Lamden

Rob Gilliland
solo guitar

Gear used:
1984 Carvin DC200K electric guitar, with Duncan Custom Custom in bridge, stock carvin neck pickup. Kahler bridge.
2006 custom Strat-style guitar, the 'cream machine', with bill lawrence pickups. Hipshot bridge.
1986 Stan Williams Hybrid guitar, w/bill lawrence pickups in the neck and middle, duncan lil 59'r in the bridge. Kahler bridge.

1981 Mesa Boogie Mark IIb 60 watt tube head, w/graphic eq. This head was modified for some of the tracks with a Groovetubes Substitube Tube adapter (takes 6L6 tubes down to EL84's).

Some guitar delay and reverb effects were printed, being added at the effects loop of the boogie. effects unit is a Yamaha DG stomp.

Pedals used: Barber Direct Drive SS overdrive, Barber Tone Press compressor, Ibanez Weeping Demon wah pedal. boss NS-2 noise suppressor pedal.

Cabinets: (2) cabinets were used. The first, a Demeter Isolation cabinet, was internally miced with a combination of a Shure SM57, and a Audio Technica AT4033. Speakers in the Demeter were either an Eminence Legend 112, or a Celestion Vintage 30. 
The 2nd, a Roland Closed back 1x12 cabinet with a Celestion Greenback, was typically miced with a ADK Hamburg at about a foot away, and slightly off axis. Some tracks are just the Demeter, some are just the Roland, and some were Summed together, for dry iso cab sound mixed with big room sound.

recording chain: from the mic(s), the signal ran to a A Designs Audio MP-1 class A tube mic preamp, out of that into a DBX MC-6 compressor for light compression, out of that into a ART DPS preamp/convertor, that was used for digital conversion only, and into a Roland VS-1880 digital recorder. These tracks were output from the roland into Sonar via a digital coax cable into a MAudio Delta Audiophile 24/96 sound card.

    First one: Great mix and a great track. It reminds me of Primus. I like weird stuff. There's not enough of it.

    Second one: Even better. You guys definitly have the primus vibe.

    You guys should call yourselves "Journeyman." I felt like I was just on an incredible journey.

    Very well done!!!

    Notation, the original DAW. Everything else is just rote. We are who we are and no more than another. Humans, you people are crazy.

    Hey Gonz,
    I like your own stuff much better. Not that you didn't do a great job on these, theyr'e just too abstract for my taste. Rock on!

    This looks a very creative group trying to get out of the regular mold and do something different.  A hard and progressive rock mixture.  It takes patience on the listener for these long songs, and it needs commitment to carefuly hear and understand what is going on.  I used to listen to "Yes" and the old "Genesis" which have sort of the same vein.

    The tracks production is great!

    I listened to negation2, as the first track crashed my computer for some reason.

    I'm not a fan of downloading the MP3's, a link to your site would be better as we can check out more of your stuff.

    Some very nice elements in this track. The drums and guitars are super.

    Not sure where the track was heading but is was a great ride all the same.

    Hey Rob,

    This is some really creative, unique music, and your playing is very tasty and excellent, as always.  "Negation" sort of gave a me an early "Tool" vibe for some reason.  Although, I do wholeheartedly agree with Scotty, your own Bat's Brew stuff totally rocks!


    Nice work on these, have a good one, buddy!

    thanks, primus huh? i've got the brown album, i dig it.
    it really works better as a whole, than in individual piece like it is in this format....
     
     
    scotty
    thanks man, glad you dig my stuff, this is just another facet.
    it's definitely not in the typical pop song format, that's for sure!
    once upon a time, i could sit for hours listening to progressive stuff like this, you gotta have time to kill!
    LOL


    vechung
    appreciate the interest in this, yes, does require patience.
    'good things to those that wait', and all that stuff.
    this is definitely a more ambitious type of project than the norm, and the length of the entire piece can be challenging, that's why it was broken up into sections.
    thanks for checking it out

    sorry the n2 crashed, it plays flawlessly on my system.
    the lightning site, is just streaming audio, and i encoded these at 320kbps so they would sound decent.
    i'm not aware that you can download them......
    i do not have 'a site' per se.
    thanks for hanging in there, and getting thru at least one of them....
    the links, can take you to the entire project.
    i think one of them allows free downloads, if that's what you're referring too. they're just mp3's, scan them with a good virus scanner before opening/running them, nothing to be worried about.

    thanks for listening!
    early tool, yeah, i bet that was an influence to the drummer and bass player.
    i pretty much just played to their rhythm tracks, following their lead....
    so it's definitely rhythm driven.
