The Musician
Independant working at home
When I was playing with the band I made some work on another song. I wanted to do something like Dream Theater's
songs, I think they are the best rock band on the world. What I do is record some bases using the great
Fast Tracker II, once I worked the bases I recorded some samples from my guitar and I created a solo for the
last part. As the song is quite long (4MB), I include three samples of the song on a lower quality to give you
an idea of what you will download. Each sample is recorded in mono, 22Khz which make them take a length of
less than 100Kb. The complete song is in stereo 44Khz.
- The fist sample contains the main melody. It uses a great lead sound I ripped from Skaven's music for
the demo Second Reality (maybe he rippped it too :).Download.
- The second sample contains some of the middle part of the song. It's somewhat heavier than first, but this
was one of the first parts I made for the song.Download.
- The last sample is a chop of the final guitar solo. The guitar tooks me a lot of time to record because
I don't have a full duplex sound card, so, make the solo fit with the song was quite difficult for me.

Now you have a little idea of what about the song is. But, if you want amore detailed description, here it is: first
I make a little intro, I wanted it to begin with a powerful pattern, to make you say "hey, come on!". After that
I put the main melody (sample 1), where the chorused guitar used on the right channel is a sample of mine.
After that, I enter a powerful part with a variation of the tempo, so I speed up the song (sample 2).
Then, it falls into a part I wanted to use with the band, but we never used it. After that, I fall into the
main melody again, but with a little variation. Finally is the guitar solo (sample 3).
At the beginning of the solo, I use something I call an anti-copy phrase, I don't want that any child
that plays Nirvana think about trying to play my solo :). The rest of the solo is just a japanese like
melody. Put attention on the base, I think the mix between the chords, bass and pedal is something not so common,
is beatiful :).
Yes, I want to download the song
Download the samples
Hey, here you got the samples to hear me how I sound(ed). They are all in mp3 format to make download faster
