"Tron" by The Void (Work in Progress)

[Bosko Schwartz]

Here's another one by The Void, although my bandmate did not contribute to this one, so the only difference between this and my "Laurels" stuff is that it's in a different style.

The beginning may be reminiscent of the usual "Bosko" fare, but I think most will agree this one is quite different overall.

Another difference is that the mix has not been meticulously worked on (as opposed the many hours I spend on most of my stuff), and everything was recorded quite quickly.  There are mistakes in timing and other minor flaws still present.  Lastly, there are no vox, but I do have a singing melody in mind.  This is a work in progress.

Speaking of timing, the whole thing is in 5/4, a fairly rare time signature.

Lastly, this song has nothing to do with the movie Tron, although I love that film.  Hope you enjoy the song!

I like it  - I get a little Soundgarden feel (From Down on the Upside - One of my favorite albums). I like the 5/4 time - it sets some very cool off beats. I'm a sucker for 6/4 time (Some Monster Magnet and Soundgarden tunes) and 7/4 time (A couple Clutch tunes from the eponymous album).

I like where this is going!!!

Oooh, I like it! 

Mellotron flutes, lots of changes, a deaccelerando - what's not to like? I must confess I'm weak on recognizing time signatures. Where did the crackly recording come from?

Sounds like it will be top-notch. Scratch that. It already sounds top-notch!

That guitar is so cool when it comes in, love the riff you have going there. It's got a really majestic feel to it and there are lovely melodies going on there. Lot of potential here, the changes all work well and keep the interest up even though there aren't any vocals. It could work as an instrumental or a song with vox, it will be interesting to see where you take this. As always, I just love the upfront bass and clattery drums. They just scream Bosko to me.

Now I have to take you to task a bit. You were claiming that you know virtually zero about music theory on another thread. But anyone who even knows 4/5 time exists, let alone be able to write and play material using it, must know something about music  I struggle with the concept of anything outside 4/4 or 3/4, I didn't even know you could have a time signature with an odd number on the bottom! I had to look all of this up and I still have no idea how you would actually count 4/5. I thought I could detect some 5/4 but 4/5, what that?? So I think you must be a secret muso at heart 

Cheers,

Another gem. Would love to hear you add some vocals to this! I really like the way you play with the time signature and shift your drum patterns around. It makes this something much bigger (and dare I say EPIC?) than the standard fare we get bombarded with these days. I know, like me, that you're probably a sixties revivalist at heart, but this sounded much more like the early British eighties bands to me. A touch of Killing Joke, a touch of Cure. But it also reminds me of Bends-era Radiohead. Oh... who cares.... it's just fab, lol. And it sounds like you. That's the important thing. Excellent guitar and bass, and yet again, your drumming lifts this to places us 'robot rhythm' reliant guys can only dream of. Fabulous work. Another Bosko treat.

Really great stuff Boscko.  It rocks, it is also melodic as hell, it is hypnotic with the insistent rhythm, nervous kinda (that ending section).  It has shades of "math rock" to my ears, the rhythm and ever repeating guitar line, kinda like what Rush does with a lot of their music.  Its got a lot of potential for sure.

[Satchwood]

Very cool Boskco - I like your guitar work here - very melodic!!  Luv the drums too - very live & strong sounding  !!!

I never heard of these guys before - but this song reminds me of an Alice Cooper song - great jam to listen to !! - maybe Blooby is rubbing off on you a bit?

Alright, I've listened to this piece five or six times already and it's just terrible.....ly good!!!! i can't get enough. I feel like this was written just for me....it was wasn't it? come on tell the truph. hehe. But seriously, I suppose all great music sounds like that. John, you're brilliant!!! I love the bass line in this song, it might just be the best part, it's the glue, the foundation for this fantastic piece. The bass kind of reminds me of Built To Spill, not to take anything away from the guitar, which is incredible, or the drums for that matter! Shit, I feel like I should pay you for this one, it was such the highlight of my day. I hope a thank you is enough.

How've you been?
