A short little instrumental tune about Diffraction? Not Really.

Made in Sonar X3 using mostly Soundtoys Plugins.
You may hear some Oingo Boingo and Primus influence in there.
Thanks for listening.

    Great! I'd agree the mix is really clear, and as you appear to have "released" it, it's probably too late to add a comment on the mix.
     
    So it would be pointless to suggest adding a little reverb to the guitar, take the guitar down just a hair in volume, and replace or bring up the snare sound a little.
     
    I love the tune, the oingo/primus/KCrimson energy, you have your own thing, too, really catchy. And I really like the photo of that old organ all decrepit and such. Nice work overall!
     
    There was a band in the 90's in the Bay Area called "Junk" and later "The Post-Junk Trio" - you would dig them. Might be worth a look-up.
     
    cheers,
    -Tom

    That was really cool!   Love the, um, not exactly diatonic lines and the left-right balance between them.   I do agree with emerald the snare gets a little lost here and there, but I do like its tone.   Overall I think your influences are coming right through.

    Very cool little piece there, and a master quality mix.  Popped right out even on my little desktop speakers.  Well done.

    Thanks for listening. Much appreciated. Yea I have a couple Junk albums. They were a great band. I'll have to look for the Post Junk Trio.
