Well, here's something I've been working on for a bit.

I thought I'd just use it as an entry for Fox Amoore's contest, seeing as it's in the Rock cathegory.

I did some extra work on the drums on this one, and recorded the guitars using this:

That's my recording secret right there, rubber bands, busted mics, and things I shouldn't use, but end up using them anyways

The idea struct me when I was noodling on a keyboard, and named it "Lovely morning" due to the fact that it sounded light-hearted.

That's my posing on the preview picture also hehe.

Now, for the musicians here, this song was pretty interesting, because I kept switching back and forth between major and minor scales on the solos, also used various modes, that gave the song a nice interesting twist, and it was fun to play.

How you guys like it!

-Eric

*FAMC ROCK Champion: April 2007.* - Very rarely do I listen to a song more than once in a single listening session. This fell into that rare category. The syncopated piano start with the entrance of the drums was really quite nifty. Key changes, adept guitar playing... created this Rock masterpiece. Congratulations!!!

Eric B Says:

Remember to crank it up!

Phantom Wolf Says:

this sounds awesome *jams out*

Celtic Twilight Says:

Sweet, calming and simple. This is a very inspirationnal piece.

My only complain would be the piano track at the beginning, having the "left hand" notes played at the same time as the "right hand" ones left the spaces empty and lacking of completion, and it confused me a little when the drums started, since the beat basically starts before the first piano notes and I hadn't realised it by then.

I really like the guitar solo though, maybe adding a second guitar making simple chords in background would help backing it up and avoiding having it contrasting a tad too much with the piano.

Cyril Says:

Sounds a bit like Vai, but without, y'know, all the huge amounts of backing work and stuff.

dogmaiscool120 Says:

Nice!

BucketHatBobby Says:

Well, that's a winner.

BucketHatBobby Says:

Wait, is the mic hooked up directly to your computor? And if not, how did you set it up?

Cobalt89 Says:

Ha ha, spiffy as hell. Sounds a lot like electric man's song from Mega Man 1 actually. Nicely done.

DarKsidE Says:

LoL, dis sounds like Mega Man. >: (

Just like Cobalt89 said, Elec Man Stage theme music. lol. Pretty good "wanking" there dude. XP The drums could be a little more diverse, other than that, nice submission.

2key Says:

shit... now I'm loosing for sure...xD
but I'll still submit my funke freshness after it's finished...
