Hair Metal

Author: alexander on April 26 2007

--> After a long winter, (not making much music) spring is here and my synths are on and life is good. This is a little something that just popped outta my speakers. Still working on the mixing so any advice/comment would be greatly appreciated.

Does this make you wanna play air guitar?

I really like what you're doing here! The mixture of cut up metal guitar, big vocal samples and synths makes for a real nice high energy, highly cool groove. I think it could use a bit more synth to fill some of the space and a bit more build and drive in the phrasing.
Btw...

<momsazombie> heard Alex's hair metal yet?
<momsazombie> it's real good
<Zarg0n> uhm... nah

cool! I'm glad I started some conversation. As a straight person from san francisco its up to me to represent the ungay side of all things gay.

I agree with your comments, gonna take a breather from working on the track then add some details to the vocals, maybe add a pad to fill things out.

jdg: awesome!! you makin me blush!

as to the "cut up metal guitar"...

its not actually a sample... midi triggering a 303 emulator plugin, lots of pitch bends, all run through guitar rig. maybe the coolest thing I've ever managed to get a synthesizer to do!

That would be peak moment of any life. After that all that's left to do is die.
