Wow. Genuinely impressed. Soulful. Varied styles. Some of it kind of reminds me of Was Not Was stuff...Detroit funk but with a sound all your own. The guitar is excellent and you've got some really good vocal chops too. The mixes are all different too...has a great effect. Well done. What guitars did you use?

Thank you for the kind words and sorry about the delayed response I didn't see the comment until last night.

 

I looked up some "was (not was)" stuff and remembered them instantly, maybe they were a bigger influence on me than I'd ever realized as I can also hear some stylistic similarity within a few of my bits.

 

I recorded and mixed most of what I did here within Garageband using either my H535, Epi and a condenser mic.

I loop my percussion parts first with an Rc-20 than build the track from there.

 

Do you have any tunes that your working on? I'd love to listen!

This song reminds me of Magnum PI for some reason? Not my strongest lyrical content but it's definitley LOUD….yikes.

Thank you for the kind words!!! And yes, please feel free to add and repost at will……that was the original idea of this blog but it never really seemed to take off and I kinda stopped visiting here or posting new stuff!

 

I'd love to see more blogs started or even talked about here in the HOC, its an excellent opportunity for a creative outlet for all of us!

Matt,

I really dig ALL of this stuff, but Easy Come Easy Go might be my favorite.

It's kind of a Tom Waits/Mazzy Star/Pixies vibe. The vocal is very cool, and the over all recording is done really well.

I'm looking forward to checking out more of your stuff and posting some of my own, when I'm back to being 100%

Rock on, man!

hey this is a whole bunch of cool stuff!!

 

well recorded too

Thanks Matt and Chris!!!!

This one's going to be a fun song to play in a jam setting, I was trying to set some mic levels to a drum backing track and wound up working up a humorous ditty out of the process.

 

I have never been able to write much, well done to you on that. You seem to get great satisfaction from your recording project, keep it going.
