This is a good place for me to be....it does me good to remember this.
God around me
God within me
there's nothing i need to fear
always remember you're here
these 2 "new" songs are a test to see if I now have what I need to successfully upload material. These 2 songs were recorded 20 years ago on a Tascam 4-track. The band is the Riptiles.
Hi folks,
It's good to back after RPM and the blackout of 2010.
A couple firsts here. I recorded this 100% with the computer. I never plugged in to a computer before.
I've always used a Roland VS machine and burnt my
songs/tracks to SCSI…
*Dark modern electronic guitar rock*
You can hear it just below the blowing wind
Feel it in the nerves beneath your skin
Catch a glimpse as you drift away at night
But you can’t decode the meaning inside
Distant shrieking sets your teeth…
Oh light, old light ahead
Rain down, rain down on me
There I was just walking the park
It was just a little bit before dark
There I saw you with that shit eating grin,
It was you, living in our old house again
(sigh) ...so I’m running, and you…
The improvisation concept behind this was to only change one note at a time out of a group of three, slowly morphing the tune, except for a couple times that I forgot what I was doing.
This used the grain delay in Guitar Rig to get the shimmery sound in the background. Otherwise I don't remember what the actual improvisation thread was.

Last track for RPM 2010, and by far my favorite of the batch…

Just never got this one sounding like I envisioned it…
just finished this one, represents a slightly new direction i am taking i think.
i am particuarly proud of the polyrhythmic sound i achieved. i was worried it mite become too cluttered (at the beginning) but i think i achieved clarity.
so this song is an old one, one of the first tracks i ever made. it has a long and drawn out beginning and i am not too sure what i think about it (what's new...). anyways, i figured i may as well upload it, it is jsut sitting around anyways…

Diggin' it; definitely into listening to the rest. Great sound all around.
Gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Absolutely gorgeous; I think it's totally cool with the rough lo-fi sound.
You've got a great voice!
These are groovy tracks even at 20 years old.
Dig it! The synth sound is choice.
Awesome track; reminds me of In Flames' sound around Reroute to Remain.
This is an awesome, awesome song.
This one sounds great too! Your improv ideas are cool and your guitar tone is lovely; definitely makes a winning combination.
