Don't pay any attention to that dumb hillbilly.  He is too scared to post anything of his own, so he just sits around in his trailer all day and trolls the internet.

Two things...


1. Calling someone a dumb hillbilly may border on TOS violation
2. By telling someone to not pay attention to another person is calling attention to that person (DOH!, I just did it too, no?)
3. This post is probably inappropriate


Uh oh, this dumb Pollack can't count to good.

I like this song. It's really cool and different. Like Alice in Chains on an acid trip.

Everything is cool but the lyrics could be made to be understood better.

Well done!!!

This is cool from a technical perspective but perhaps you should have gone for 11/8 or even something weirder like 3 bars of 11/8 and then a bar of 14/8... ;-) I always envy the skill of people who manage to pull off that kind of thing without it sounding off kilter.

Cheers,

i hear ya; it drones a bit but more on purpose contrasted against the other textures. working on something in 19/8 in fact.

I'm a bit lost on this.  It is too harsh for me to enjoy the nuance's of the track.  I know that there is a good track somewhere.

I like the chant that is going on underneath, it has a 90's Crimson feel.

I don't know, I know that I should like this but it s way too harsh.

Sorry Peace Ben

I like the time sig but you could have just as easily used 5/4 LOL. Anyway I think there are some good ideas in here. If it were me I would try some different instrumentation and pull the distortion way back and the vocals forward. Also as Bapu mentioned a change in the middle would meak a big difference. Perhaps even change the time sig to 7/8 and then back to 10/8. You have the makings of something cool here I think.

I thought the same initially but then realised that it really depends on where the beat is. I mean 3/4 and 6/8 are mathematically the same but the beats are in a different place. Traditionally in 5/4 you'd put the emphasis on beats 1 and 4 - I haven't listened back yet (and I'm at work so can't until later) but where is the emphasis in this one?

true. 5/4 and 10/8 are mathematically equivalent, but since the guitar pattern is playing 10 8th notes, and the main downbeat comes on the 5, it seemed more logical to deem it 10/8.  the 1st measure in intro where the guitar starts (after the 'we will contact you shortly' words) is a pick-up on last 2 8th notes.  

also i hear what people are saying about the overly-distorted drums, but i'm worried if i attenuate them down it will take the 'weirdness' out of the mix. this is more supposed to be a Dada-esque piece, like Duchamp's "Fountain" lol  it will never be on the radio ;p more towards the spirit of Luigi Russolo/Noise Music etc. - but maybe i'll tame the distortion down a tad to make it less jarring. the drums are actually acoustic drums w/ distortion.....heavy gate on kick & snare

lol just realized now that i mentioned Duchamp i'm sure pistol pete will talk about this being a good tune to pee on ;p
