You almost sound uncomfortable having to play 4/4 for a change.
Most of us schlep to this time signature most of the time y'know? smiley
The big rhythm chords remind me of Alex Lifeson though it seems totally off the wall to think that.
Very cool work!
"London Yamaha" by pharmakeus 3 days ago
Not much of a secret really. smiley
More of a "hey wow, this works!"
"Moog Prodigy" by pharmakeus 4 days ago
For a moment I read it as 'Mong Prodigy' and thought, "That's an oxymoron, and he'll get into trouble like Ricky Gervais".
But I was wrong.
I'll Cry Instead by ClayPotts 5 days ago
I think the Beatles had country music in their roots so this is a remarkably comfortable fit to my ears. Maybe there are other Beatles number that can be done this way.
Love it. smiley

Good stuff. Great vocal performance on this one.
Well-Cared For by Beatle128 6 days ago
Sorry I'm late to the party.
Amazing pastiches of George Martin production techniques. Brought a smile to my face. The harpsichord work is particularly a killer for me. Excellent stuff.

I like it a lot. Piano-driven rock is generally hard to mix in my experience so I'm with MH, I think this is a really good mix.
House of Rock n Roll - HipHop (ZSRecords) by dragonlikes 6 days ago

Hey wow. Great stuff.
The Light Side of Some Moon by thedickhickeyband 6 days ago

I wasn't sure about the intro but once the vocal section kicked in it totally drew me in. I like the production work.

Excellent performances all round. It has a wonderful unity to it and everything fits so nicely. I love the mix, actually. Great work.

Wow. Love hearing people's live recordings. This one is a real treat. Thanks for sharing a dose of reality guys! Love it!
I'm On My Way (from nowhere) by Vixen 6 days ago

Cool, cool song. Sort of like 80s synth pop meets ABBA with a dose of attitude. Excellent track.
Real You (Radio Edit) by Axelbreeze 6 days ago
5

I like the production a lot. The vocal performance is fine too, but for me it's the production that sells this one for me. Top stuff.
The Longer The Waiting, The Sweeter The Kiss by Dyl 6 days ago
Very soothing and peaceful. It makes me think of all the quiet moments in life that I've had on the road. Fantastic performances guys!
A Bird Without Wings by RedthruNthru 6 days ago
I like the vocals on this a lot. Very heartfelt performance that makes one really feel the passion.

Alos... it's pretty amazing that the music was built around the vocal performance afterwards. The thought of that makes my head spin, so props to Mr Zincshed for his part.

If Ever You Change Your Mind by RetroTrend 6 days ago

Nice and bouncy club beat with some choice synth work.
"Ukulele" by pharmakeus 6 days ago
WTF?! A ukulele as well?! LOL smiley
"Great White Nurk" by pharmakeus 6 days ago
I've played a Republic resonator and *loved* it. It's rich, it's loud, it's got character, it's playable, it's comfortable in the hand; it's an excellent contemporary player.
I loved it so much I went straight to the piggy bank to bust out the cash for one, and then the deal fell apart. I ended up putting that money towards another project, but when I consider resonators in isolation, I still can't fault the choice of going for a Republic.

Talk about live music. This one's still flipping around after it's been caught on an iPad. Great work!

I read the description above and didn't know what to expect; but what you have here is a beautiful, lovely song that stands on its own nicely. Top stuff!
Dejah Thoris [Logic Remix] by artneuro 6 days ago
Thanks guys!
I'm in a rotation of doing some new stuff and then remixing an old one and then trying a new one...
I'll try and post something fresh next up. smiley
Cat Scratch Fever Blues by pharmakeus 6 days ago
Actually, the bass stomp box is hat impresses me in this fun romp. That's some seriously vintage-y bass tone.
YOU AND I by KCsGROOVE 7 days ago
I think it sounds beautiful.
It's a difficult sort of song to mix if you as me. I find songs built around piano vamps like this are pretty delicate things to mix so I can empathise with the mix taking a while on this.
Schmendrick's Wake by revoltington 9 days ago

In the wake of Schmendrick!
Alas poor Schmendrick who choked on vomit, though we know not whose vomit 'twas, yet it was as per the tradition goes. We bid thee farewell unto the underworld where self-deluding newts s****** and change their tunes.
Cool syncopated, anarcho-terrorist guitar playing. smiley

Asking for 50 years! It's like he's Rudolph Hess!
Like, *really* peeps?
They've denied him bail on the grounds that he's a flight risk when in fact he has family in NZ.

I'm very fond of surf rock as you can tell. I don't even like swimming much so it's a mystery how that all works. smiley

Walk Don't Run by artneuro 14 days ago
Thanks guys.
I'm getting deeper and deeper into certain kinds of feels. I like doing instrumentals more and more; the bother of singing is just too much. smiley
BUSINESS AS USUAL 2 by KCsGROOVE 17 days ago
Well, as you know I'm always big on electric guitars, so I totally understand why you reworked it this way. smiley
I think it's worked out really nicely. I like the mix a lot.

Sleepwalk [Hagstrom Kent version] by artneuro 20 days ago
Thanks for the encouraging words everybody. Certainly, I'm less sure of this one than other bits of recording I've posted up.
Getting that tone was a wrestle with the latent noise in the low output pickups. Part of it is the magic of digital.

What is this real world you speak of? I think I'm struggling to connect with that place. smiley
Excellent track!
All We've Become by mick66 29 days ago

Seems to me to be a song about the moment one realises the process was so much more than the product. But sometimes we still just need the product. smiley Nice song!

Flat out, it's a lovely, lovely song. Top stuff!

Money For Nothing (Dire Straits Cover) by Alien8ed 29 days ago
Lovely version! It brings back memories. smiley
Whatever Happened To You? by artneuro 29 days ago
It's a bit like you lock away a thought and forget for a very long time. Then something comes along and you unpack the box of memories in your head and you go, "WTF!" smiley

It's not that I feel/felt this way about this person every day since. It's just that when I cast my mind to it, all this stuff came out of the box.
That Dan Ariely interview is so so true. It's completely irrational.

I was being strictly ironic about the wonderful/beautiful thing. smiley
Whatever Happened To You? by artneuro 1 month ago
Thanks Cees. I'm not that sentimental about the high school I graduated because I'd been to 9 schools in 12years. smiley
Yeah, the odd subjects. That's my excuse why I can't be too prolific - they can be hard to find in a timely manner.
Dejah Thoris, The Queen of Mars (Guitar Pop Mix) by artneuro 1 month ago
Funny you should mention that... The version I put up on Youtube actually is the remixed-on-Logic version of this track with the lead guitar wound back and vocals pushed forwards.

I guess back then Phramakeus and I were more ordinary kind of rock musicians wanting to do the normal rock thing. Once you stop trying to impress A&R people, the need to stay in the straight-jacket diminishes. You make no money, but you get to make music you like.
Lay Down [Demo Mix] by pharmakeus 1 month ago
A mind-warper, that's for sure. smiley
It's like a parade of stylish phrases and sounds. They stumble over each other a bit in parts.
Dirty Valentine by artneuro 1 month ago
Thanks guys!
No Boss Flanger in there at all. It's all done in Logic. The Phaser and the Flanger pedals are virtual.

The best line to do with good looking people I know of comes from 'Almost Famous' where Phillip Seymour Hoffman's Lester Bangs says, "The thing about beautiful people is that they have no spine."
I've found in my life that there's a certain ugly truth to that aphorism. smiley
Dirty Valentine by artneuro 1 month ago
It's playing nicely. Took a few weeks to set the truss as I went back and forth but it's been great since. It's worked out to be a pretty solid player, which is great.
Seven Deadly Sins by DaveM 1 month ago
Well let's see now.
I like it.
It doesn't need synths or samplers or programmable thingys.
Yep, I like it.

I particularly like your voice in this one. The delivery is so seemingly off the cuff and natural.

Don't know how you keep coming up with these great grooves.
Amazed at the prolificness as well as the slick performance and production.

So here's you unleashing your furious blues chops on us. You sure have a unique vision of how your music should be put together. I think there's something for every guitar gonzo in this one if you ask me. Very, very deep!

A TASTE OF FREEDOM by KCsGROOVE 1 month ago
The thing is, you keep telling us how distracted you re and busy you are and you keep producing gems like this. When I get busy, I totally drop off the board. This is great.

Sweet! Expertly produced and beautifully performed. I like the sense of space in the mix.

Sort of polyrhythmic polycutlural fandango. Wild guitar that leaps out and mauls you. smiley
Let it Roar!
Xmas TUNE 2011 by RiGee 1 month ago
Very Xmas-like! smiley The tune is great.

Yeah. Guitar synths are a quandary. Guitar as controller does not give instant gratification like a keyboard controller does or a guitar being a guitar. I'd like to have a system but I keep spending my budget elsewhere.

I like it when you unleash some seriously considered work. This one shows a lot of beautiful arranging and the vocals are splendid. I know it's work in progress but it made me want to hear more of it. Very nice work indeed.

I think it's sounding really good.
Some choice playing there on the tele and the bass just sounds *balls*. Cool song - and that's coming from a secular-as-science modernist. smiley

Going For Re-Entry With Dr. Holly Goodhead by artneuro 2 months ago
Thanks guys!
The further I get from a serious young person into being a flippant old fart, the more I feel free to do silly things in music. It's liberating. I can't imagine what it would be like to show this to an A&R person from a label and say, "this is what I'm working on".

The cheesy lounge jazz break is something that just burst out from the back of my head. I don't know why cheesy lounge jazz pops out when I'm in the middle of something else.

Edit:
I just found somebody who seems to be on my brainwave on this...

I can remember productions like this and one day they were gone. It's amazing the accuracy with which you render these sounds. It's like instant nostalgia meets shock of the new.
