Riding the Raw Waves

I’ve “released” my album number 3, Riding the Raw Waves. I say “released” because it is ongoing. I have been for a while now experimenting with a program called ams, Alsa Modular Synth, and have come up with some interesting sounds/music/tracks. Check them out on the music page.

2 runner ups

2 of the 3 songs i submitted to modernbeats.com’s Sony Music needs Pop Beats contest, Mini Mono Club Dance and Funky Rural Banjo Beats, received runner up status out of 5 possible statuses. there were probably many others who received the same level of recognition and I know second place is the first loser, but still "it was an honor just being nominated" =)

the Mini Mono Club Dance version i submitted is actually version 2 of the original Mini Mono Club Dance. i removed a couple of elements.

original guitar song 200905140043

i just made this up, its pretty simple:
E E7 then just move the E up 3 frets (055400), then back down 1 fret (044300)

the words:
we couldn’t make it
just couldn’t take it
it was one too many
we just couldn’t take it

every time i think of them
i want to cry
i want to cry

it’s not done, i could probably add a solo or something (along with other instruments, e.g. drums, another guitar, bass, etc)

original guitar song 200903042117

i don’t what to call this, it’s not a complete song, but it’s more than a riff, so i’ll call it a song for now =) there are no “chords” in the traditional sense, there is only one finger down at a time with a little sliding and strumming of surrounding open strings. i think i begin on the third string, 9th fret. to create this “song” i just found two notes that sounded good, transitioning between them, then found other surrounding notes that sounded good with those notes, up and down the fretboard/neck…
here are my roland micro cube amp settings
