You know how good mixing means EQ, compressing etc? Yeah, disregarded everything here.
intro bluesy guitar sample from here: http://archive.org/details/MiZ2012-01-26.wklitz.schoeps.sbd.flac16 "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes"
Yeah, I used to do that for the heavier tracks sometimes. Nowadays I just record a few guitar riffs in a hurry, go to uni and then make a song out of them later on when I need a break... so its hit or miss with the end product. In this case the drive was a bit too high xD
Nice track. Your signature scale :)
On the mixing: A friend of mine and I were talking about recording distortion and dealing with noise and he told me that he likes to layer his sounds. Rather than have a single track with distortion set to 8, he'll layer 4 tracks at 2 (conceptually). I have to play with this idea myself to fully understand it but figured I'd throw it out there...
Just listened to a couple of your playlists and enjoyed everything.. great stuff! unfortunately, i now feel too chilled out to go back an fav them all... too much work :)
Last track of the new album :D
For those wondering, no I'm not referring to anyone, it's just how the 'post rock' names are, ala Red Sparowes, ASMZ, etc. Long and Pretentious track titles.
Got more and more interested in shoegaze/uplifting indie/electronic music e.g. M83 or //orangenoise, so I tried to compose a bit. Really pleased with the result :D
Cascadia is the first solo work written and recorded by Andrew Davis. This funky instrumental blend of folk, rock and jazz features mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar, banjo, bass, and varied percussion. Enjoy!

What if Sleeping Beauty was visited by a couple of fortune hunters? And what if those fortune hunters got into an argument? Colin Garvey did a super job with this song, and I raise a glass to him. Many thanks to you, my friend.

Funky little ditty. John, Paul & George made poor Ringo carry around the bucket full of the creamy mess they made from all the, well, lovin' they did. This is for him
mellow guitars, subtle e-bowing that almost sounds like a soprano = instant fav (...paintbrush you say...hmmm). can't get enough of those light string hits too.
More bad news on the TV delivered by the beautiful news reader to soften the blow.......its all too much....a double dip recession ......a government filled with corruption a sunday paper filled with the Rich.............
Recession

Funny, running into you this way after all these years
You hardly aged a single day except those lines around your eyes when you smile. She laughs as she recalls the girl that she was and the boy who chased her around…
This is a mess but when we tried to clean it up it killed the spirit of it so we decided to just take off our critics hat and just enjoy the energy of it.
FOREVER by James Michael Taylor
My baby say she loves me. Gonna love me forever…

Have you ever been let down badly by that so called friend and lost hope in the very idea of friendship........
I Need a friend (Lyrics)
I need a friend who doesn’t need me
i need a friend who doesn’t bleed me
i need a friend who doesn’t hurt…
Comments on Tipu's stuff
it certainly was.......
Sunshine.
Love this!!
Pretty cool track man.
Enchanting piece! Very nice!
Makes me dizzy...
FAV- really really enjoyed this one.
Sweet sounds!
Eq? Compression? What is that? :) The best tracks are always done on the fly.
Nicely assembled, pastoral shifting moods.

This is just too pretty.
Quartal harmony + post-rock flavor + decepticons in the background = <3

Literally couldn't stop myself dancing to this!

Actually quite good Tipu. Much to be said for subtlety and minimalism.
Like a cave tour..yes i can see the light..
Stimulating..
Trippy stuff. They should launch one more space shuttle so they can set it to this.

Nice, got some early Delerium vibes from this
very futuristic bar/club sounding
nice, reminds me of Hammock and Eno/Fripp collabs
Very laid-back, enjoying the album more and more...
haha, I was sure somebody would've commented about the distorted guitars. Great work, very well thought out!
Like the mute guitars
Like the simple groove that just instantly hooks on, and the rising drama in the later bit of the song.
Really like the discordant instruments here, not a lot of people attempt it. Props!
Love glass bells, especially the linger they make after the hit. Them and organs.

Nice lyrics, epic delivery, and very noir-y music! Enough to motivate a caped crusader's adventure imo.
Amazing, very vivid narrative. And the music could not complement it any better.
Mess? I hear no mess here. I hear a good time.
Nice, love how clean the guitars are and how everything is mixed.
looking forward to the whole thing!
love the bass groove and lead guitars
it ended too soon though...
The vocals sound pretty good imho. And the mix feels great overall!
Liking the lyrics here, intrigued...
yep, been in that position a couple of times. Guess the trick is to not take life so seriously.
