After the disco donkey, time for something completely different.

One of me more 'off the wall' efforts. Mostly (I'll leave it at that - clickbait..) instrumental, it's very roughly like a poor man's bastard offspring of the Cocteau Twins and Ver Zep, with some electronic bits thrown in, or something. Mebbe even a bit p**g r**k . Nice riff!

It seamlessly navigates between multiple genres and is a cohesive listen. Brilliant!

Hehe, I did wonder if others would find it a bit confusing. Obviously I think the changes work, but I would, and I've heard it loads.
Glad you liked it.

Loved all the twists and turns. Just when you you're heading for a jam, the bottom falls out and you're back in ambient land. Really interesting, original stuff.

Interesting, not what I expected. I thought that the lead ups at 1:50 and 2:40 or so should've had a stronger climax, like a guitar riff, or something. Like you do in the final part.
And a sinsesizer!
Atmospheric, and a nice vibe, though I'd work on it a bit more.

I'm also a fan of your work Tugger. Seeing the change from several years past to this new shite has been a treat.

Hehe, that's sort of the point though, the little snippets of riffage are foreshadowing for the big build up at the end - you don't play your big cards early doors, or some trite saying..
I really have no more ideas for this to be honest, plus it's insanely complicated now, with group tracks going into group tracks, and 34 lots of parameters automated. If I start trying to do anything radical at this point I will surely break something. Got to stop at some point and do something else!Atmospheric, and a nice vibe, though I'd work on it a bit more.

Cheers. The more 'atmospheric' stuff has always been there, but I've given it more 'free reign' I think of late, and definitely adopted a less 'formal' approach to writing on a lot of stuff, it seems!Mister Natural wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 1:10 am I'm also a fan of your work Tugger.

This is exactly my kind of thing. Very well done. Reminds me of some of the dramatic changes I'd hear in technical metal from the early '00s.
Thanks for sharing!

well there never was a dull moment. the abrupt changes were jarring ( in a good way, I suppose).
It's good to hear what you're doing these days, embracing the synthysizer stuff yet throwing in just enough heavy riffs to keep those who enjoy heavy riffs satisfied..thanks for continuing to make music
