Two new original songs

Whats up people.

I wanted to share two new original songs my friend and I just recorded. Off course both of us use Mesa amps, a DC-5 combo and a Studio Pre Amp. We are very inspired by Dream Theater, Joe Satriani and Van Halen. Hope you like it, and any comments are welcome!

Frantic - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RKUP_k08Ng&feature=plcp

Man, nice lead tone and some cool music. I bet this was a tonne of hard work to put together.
I really liked this one riff at 4:45 on 'frantic'. You could build a whole album tune off of something like that, I think. While a simple idea, the harmonies were very surprising, especially in this genre. I thought it was brilliant. Keep at this!!!

The flow of the music reminds me of instrumentals like what liquid tension experiment would compose; It's far more episodic and spontaneous than it is cogent. The individual pieces are a lot of fun to listen to but perhaps would become tedious if a whole album was comprised of a style like this. Sometimes -but not all the time- it is profitable to impose more structure and limitations on a composition. As a writing exercise, perhaps try and limit your material for one instrumental and structure it to have more recurring ideas. A great way is to work on coming up with 10 different variations of a single melody that are all recognizable. You can also come up with a hook or a rhythm that you use throughout the instrumental in various guises. What is interesting is to have recurring sections of music, but to try and make each 'repetition' different in a very interesting and unexpected way.

Once again great work! :wink:

Thank you very much for the kind words, we truly appreciate it! And we will definitely take what you said in consideration when writing the next tunes. I think that would be a interesting way to write a tune. Comments and new ideas are always nice.

Once again thank you very much!

Rad. If you want more detailed information feel free to PM me. I am currently studying music composition so I might be able to help!

I might actually get back you, if I have some questions which isn't unlikely

We posted to new songs again today. Comments on writing, mixing, recording, playing and so on are all welcome. Hope you enjoy!
