This is sort of a skeleton version of this song...I have an intro in mind, but don't have time to write it right now. So named because it's primarily in 7/4.
If the synth intro doesn't do anything for you, just wait about two minutes for the main part of the song to start.

Not originally intended as an acoustic song...but I couldn't get the big riff at the end to sound right with big distorted guitars, and then I realized on acoustics it might sound like it had a little Days Of The New influence.
Track 9 from…
Second track from my RPM 2010 album, "They Are Killers." The pounding drums at the beginning will eventually be over top of the synths that end "Nemesis," but I'll get to that later.

I'll have to check when I get home... I think this version has both guitars running through a Gratifier for distorted tone and an Ultrasonic for clean tone (in Guitar Rig 4). I got several suggestions to try doubling with both a high-gain and clean tone to get both clarity/definition and crunch.
The intro track for my 2010 RPM album. This will eventually be mixed to fade into the second track, "The Seeker," but I'll do all of that work in final production I guess.

This is not a serious attempt at a song, it's just a dare. One of my coworkers challenged me to cover the Rebecca Black song and I like a good challenge.

As promised, listened to the whole thing... stylistically it's not totally my thing and I don't really have any points of reference, but it's good for what it is. Definitely fits the loud, abrasive, punk rawk vibe, anyway. I think "old" and "aweful dad" were the standouts.
The last track that I'm going to upload for a while. I will be re-recording a few songs to release a LP under my own name. Hopefully it'll be good :)
This one is another exploration using loops and delays. I hope you like it!
613 is a prime number, 136 is triangular, and 361 is a square number - I didn't know what to name it ( but I wrote a math book once called Mathematical Bliss). Anyone want to put some metal vocals on this?
Its my first attempt at writing a piece for piano. I think this would probably best be played by two players..
if I ever write out the piece on paper, it might have to be so.
I would value any of your comments greatly, as I greatly want to improve…
Parts of it loosely reminded me of the final fantasy theme. The unison run section at the end would be a great tag for a fusion tune, reminded me of some Chick Corea sort of stuff.
My girlfriend came to the music store with me yesterday to get my new delay pedal and she patiently waited while i checked it out.. so this is dedicated to her.
Musically, I tried to create a rhythm and texture using only natural harmonics…
Moody downtempo instrumental inspired by a single word randomly looked up in the dictionary. (The Dictionary Challenge on the RPM boards!) In no way related to the recent flurry of teenage vampire/werewolf flicks.
Although it doesn't have anything to do with the teen movies.. if you replaced the melody instrument with something grittier it might not be bad for soundtrack material.
Comments on Synaptic Disturbance's stuff
Very cool stuff here man! Dig it all!
you've got some pretty nice guitar sounds on these songs. great intro on this track.
yes, Days of the New-like, nice one.
nice dynamics on this.
killer, love the high-speed double time parts.
ya +1 with K, the contrast with the acoustic cut ins is cool
Love the contrast between the crunchy guitars and the acoustic sections!
Yoru guitar rhythm work recalls something to mind like early Soundgarden, dark, grungy chords and riffs. It's good stuff!
Lulls you with the rain sample and ambient gtr then hits you over the head with that killer take no prisoners riff!
it definitely turns a big corner. I like it.

FN Great song. Especially nice Bongzilla-like guitar tone! What are you using Mesa Boogie channel or stomp box or something else?
Oh Yeah! I always need some good kick ass rock and roll. Crank it!!
great stuff again!
reminds me of Tool. You got a huge range of sound man. Nice work!
And this reminds me of Days of the New! Nice touch man!
wow its got a slayer feel to it. Kick ass!
great crunching guitars! Great stuff!
sweet!
This is kicking ass!

Groovy.
Hah... nice lyric alteration. But you left out the rap!

Cool stuff, great feel and changes throughout.
I'm using the Metal Foundry SDX VSTi, programmed in Fruity Loops.
It was a little slow getting started, but I like what you built it up to.
Killer intro, great riffs throughout...
Cool...nice rhythms, and I agree with kirk that the bass + whatever is on top of it sounds great
Tasty! The nylon solo sounds great. Wish I had time/cred to weasel my way in and work with you two ;)

Mmm, delay pedals. Sounds like a clock ticking in places, which in turn makes me think of something that could've gone in a Pink Floyd tune.
Mm, tasty electro groove.

Cool funky groove, the little up and down sounds give it some motion
Cool... would be a great hip-hop beat, although I still prefer it in this form sans vocals ;)
Definitely a bit odd...but interesting, caught my attention
Nice, I enjoyed this. You should paint yourself into corners more often!
Kind of an Our Lady Peace sound... good stuff
Cool tune! Can't decide who it reminds me of... a bit Metallica, a bit Soulmotor I think.
Cool breakdown there around the 3:00 mark!
