Spazzez of the world unite!!!!

I think you guys may like my new offering. Won't be ready for a while but I am very much enjoying the compositional freedom and ease Sonar is providing me... now that I know how to use it without having to cry to the forum for help every two seconds that is.

Looking forward to it Beeps.

The structure is just getting finished up (got one little turnaround I just finished and about to shoehorn in) then the real tracking will begin. I'm going to try employing some dialogue sampling instead of vocals via the Matrix thingy and dig into some of the wacky synth patches to really turn it into a loonfest.
 
Dork Metal is about to turn into SciFi Metal. :-D

Not if you add mushrooms and some light goggles.

Shhhhhh!!! You don't want to give away the "secret" to creativity! Even Dylan agreed with us way back when!
 
Actually, Beep, there is something rather mathematical in some of the things he does. He had one experiment that was done with an art show, and the pieces of music went like this. Track one 16 beats, Track 2 had 18 beats, Track 3 had 20 beats, and so on progressively (I'm not explaining this quite well, btw), and when these were started at the same time, after so many beats you had a mix of different things, and after the first minute nothing was the same again.
 
Yeah, from your perspective it might not be good, but if you don't try different things, and learn, how you gonna go further and better?

Hi, Pedro. My thing is if you are that talented then do something interesting. To do otherwise is kind of a slap in the face of whomever or whatever bestowed you with that gift.
 
However if he did it simply because he enjoyed it then that trumps all but at that point it's a personal thing and should be kept personal. Tossing it out into the public for consumption (especially if people are expected to pay for it) then it becomes fodder for the spazzy wolves such as myself to poo poo.
 
In a way though this could also be construed as punk because it is sooooo dull it's obnoxious.
 
I've been pondering this a lot lately as I try to figure out which direction I want to head musically and lyrically. I COULD go back into the snarky and politically charged lyrics again but as I step back and look at everything I've done and everything I could say and has already been said in the past 30-40 years no matter HOW uniquely I package and present it to me it would be boring. I may work more instrumentally or with samples for a few years or try out coy almost nonsensical lyrics instead that will make people deeply pontificate about what exactly I'm trying to get at... and it will be NOTHING. Absolutely nothing.
 
A musical joke. I've always tried to write my riffs to be like a set up and eventual punchline to a joke and my lyrics to be a build up and left turn to a smack with something too real or unreal to fully digest without some introspection. Now perhaps that I have the resources to write and record on my own I'll treat my own "career" in that manner with my retirement or death becoming the punchline.
 
Then again I probably think too much and nobody will really give a sh*t anyway so the joke will be on me.
 
lulz

Oh and I find very few artists can write mathematically and remain interesting. Rush is one that comes to mind but do they write the math first? I don't know. I've never met them to ask. One day perhaps. I'm only a couple degrees of separation from those guys so it's possible.
 

I'm an ADHD, Type B person and a dreamer.  That makes a difference.  While I like and can appreciate a lot of metal out there, I can only take it in small doses.

Yeah I've been into heavy music since I was 8 years old and a lot of the hyper aggressive new stuff doesn't retain my attention for long. No hooks, no interesting changups or melodies. Just blasting for the sake of blasting.
 
It's boring.

Of course, I don't live all that far away from Boring.
