Strange Instrumental

This and Sun Ra all in the same day.

:-)

Sounds cool, sometimes I forget it's backwards.

Thanks Mike. All of the guitars in the part before the drums come in, are backwards with the exception of the bass and the little ditty that shows up randomly throughout.

Interesting piece. Does seem to remind me of Sun Ra to an extent...me thinks you are channeling him somewhat

Very cool and hypnotic. I didn't feel like I wasted my time at all.  

Hi Bub, is there a subliminal message in there somewhere?  I like the lead playing.

Rimshot

does prompt the question just what have you been s..........

Nicely done Bub

bub, almost passed on this, because of the dour introduction.

LOL

i dig this kind of stuff, of course, it taps into my love for hendrix, and he did this stuff all over electric ladyland, this has insprired me to write some psychedelic stuff....

combo of backwards and forwards on top of each other, if i can figure it out.

love the solo stuff near 1:40

Thanks.

I remember seeing a pic of Sun Ra online, but I've never heard anything he's done.

I'll check him out on Youtube.

Loved it Bub.

This is not a crit, but the bass in the intro is a tad stringy for me, too bad it can't be more Hofner/McCartneyish.

I liked it, could you talk about what you did to the guitars?

Hey Robby,

All the guitars and bass were run through an ART MPA Pro II Ref Series Pre and ART VLA II Comp, both tube driven.

I used the old Cakewalk Amp Sim and Sonitus Modulator (EDIT-and Sonitus Reverb) on everything except the bass and the forward lead in the second half. IIRC the forward lead part was the 'Ya Ya' preset in Guitar Rig 4 Pro.

I love the sound of that Cakewalk Amp Sim, especially if you have a tube driven preamp going in to it.

The bass is dry with a lot of boost to the highs.

I just thought of this, but this is the first recording I've done with this particular guitar. It's a late 80's Korean made Strat, everything original, pup's and all. The bridge has Fender stamped on the saddles which is odd for the Korean made ones. It's not a Squire, but a Fender Strat. I rarely play it because the bridge is too loose and it goes out of tune very easily and I never took the time to tinker with it.

I used a comp technique I recently discovered by accident. I use extreme threshold with low ratio. I'm sure this is an age old technique, but I just discovered it and so far I'm digging it. I use Sonitus Comp.

Bub

dude awesome,that sums it up in that word..awesome..
your music has a great value that leans towards sound tracks,at least for me when i listen to this song it tells a story...the story plays out in my head and each piece is very valuable to the next.
felt like i was driving down the highway just looking out the window,through all 50 states.
got a really cool zappa feel to it...zappa is the god of all hypnotic rock.
i can see why you only put out a song every few months,you put major effort into your songs.

telling you,a movie company could make you millions with this song,
this would make a great video.in black and white.then leading into color when the drums kick in.
told ya i see a story.

great job man.
cant wait for the next one,dont make us wait as long next time.
although keep taking your time as long as they come out as good as this.

Very cool Bub - +1 on the soundtrack comments

Ok Bub, I like but be careful about throwing stones in glass houses.

I love the introduction but it vears toward what we could call art rock and even avant garde.
 
I think you know what I mean.
 
Excellent Job, really like.
 
Peace Neb

Thanks, glad you liked it.

Just a side note about this song, and all the songs I record. I never imitate or try to mimic any single artist or group, except when I'm doing a cover.

This particular piece just came to me suddenly out of nowhere, which is where 100% of the music I do comes from, except when I'm doing a cover. If the chord structure and lyrics don't come to me within a 15 to 20 minute time frame, I lose interest and it gets scrapped.

Ah but that is the sign of a true artist and why I was saying be carful because you were getting stuck into the obama vid, which is also true art.
 
You may disagree with me but I have my handle on art LOL.
 
Really if you make music like that, that is it comes from the ether hold onto it and just remember your artistic soul.
 
I think you get what I mean.
 
It was a really inspiring tune, so different from some of your other stuff and showed a free spirted mind, so keep it up.
 
Yea Love Neb
