Not too often I hear singing in Dutch, but I like it very much (although supposedly I learned a little Dutch when I was 10 years old as my family spent a year in northern Belgium).  Quite pleasant combination of piano and voice here, were they recorded together, or the piano first and voice overdubbed?

I love early Genesis, so I was interested to listen to this.  Quite interesting and enjoyable. I like your guitar work and tone and can tell you put a lot of effort into this, including the backing track!  Did you learn this "by ear", or did you find written music for it somewhere?

General Discussion / JFA drummer Mike 'Bam-Bam' Sve...

Last post by Ted - Today at 12:02:53 AM

I knew Bam Bam in high school. He was a couple years younger than me – he was a freshman when I was a senior. But we connected in art class, and talked about punk. We even jammed once. He told me that he and some friends started a band called "Jodie Foster's Army." I thought it was hilarious. I knew he was good, but I didn't know people said he was "Keith Moon" good.

Maybe I'll do JFA song when we get to our Lost in 2024 Fest. But it wouldn't seem right to do it with a drum machine.

Another cool track, Stephen. Love those guitars and great production. As Farrell says, maybe not the ideal wedding song but the sentiment is there. I agree with you about not sticking to any one genre - there are just so many influences & styles to enjoy. No-one here is looking for promotion or 'fame' - (at least I hope not) so we can all do basically whatever we please; I certainly do.

Another cool rock track Ron. Love the trademark harp of yours. The guitar tones sound bloody great. The drums are really good too. Brilliant vocals / harmonies as usual and lyrics.

Everything Darren says. Great track, Ron.

Cover Songs / On an Island by David Gilmour ...

The backingvoix is not the only thing JP did. He did 90% of the whole song I'm only in it for the lead song.
When I got the soundfile back for approval I had a big smile on my face so happy I was about the result.

I am sure Jean Pierre will explain what he did to produce this piece,ON AN ISLAND RENDER  VERSION AVEC VOICES ET RENDER ORCHESTRA DEF-001.mp3   he is a wizard. Thank you JP.

Original Songs / Quick - Get Your Pants Off!

Last post by ODH - Yesterday at 10:51:25 AM

Punk is ideal for the two chords oeuvre, right?

The guitar on this bit of nonsense is the Tokai Telecaster, two tracks. The lightning connector on my phone is broken so I have to mic my practice amp to record electric guitar (it's partly why I've done so much on the acoustic lately. Otherwise GB drums and bass. And childish vocals (no words came to me for the middle part, I decided that was kind of consistent with the subtext of the song).

Comes in at a shade under two minutes

Known as the guitarist in the group Genesis from 1971 to 1977, he embarked on a solo career in 1975,  His electric guitar playing is based on an ethereal, experimental sound , favouring harmony and musicality over technical demonstration. His sound is poetic, quirky and dreamlike.

...and that's really the case with this composition, which I hadn't heard before and which won me over with its simplicity and musicality.

I had a hard time with the computer because the number of midi tracks (played on my keystation M audio keyboard with soundfonts from the Titanic bank) really took its toll on my computer's CPU... I had to do a partial "orchestra" render , then mix with my two guitar tracks...
