No problem on the feedback. I know how we all crave comments during FAWM. Checking my Dashboard is more addictivce (I find) then trying to come up with new & wonderous songs LOL

See You In The Shadows…

Thanks for the great comment on Observer Of The World! Looping gets easier with practice, I've found. Knowing when to open & close the loops is important - especially if you're trying to avoid those annoying "clicking" sounds. Tho, sometimes the clicks might work out… depending on the effect you're going for.

See You In The Shadows…

you recommended GBV to me before. I listened new album.
But recommend me that which my guitar riff reminds ye of please?
$Elyon\'s mitten - anonymouse$ anonymouse 3 months ago

even though I normally appreciate your freewheeling guitar work most !

drum is some sort of tom I think, one of the sticks is a bent chopstick (hitting rim), the other is a short length of wood

Thanks for the suggestion! I've switched to Dropbox instead, and now it seems to stream perfectly.

Hey man! Thanks for the message. I'm not terribly far from Athens, and play music there as often as I can. It's a hell of a town

And, yes. Vic Chesnutt = badass.

I dig your stuff!
whisperedcandles 3 months ago

Yes! I most certainly intend to keep it a Capella; I just mean I'd like to add more voice-tracks. Thanks for listening!

Hey, thanks for the feedback! How do you make sure the music will stream? What filehosting site do you use?
$Elyon\'s mitten - anonymouse$ anonymouse 3 months ago

what do you record onto again? It sounds like tape. It always has a great quality to my ears.
$Elyon\'s mitten - anonymouse$ anonymouse 3 months ago

I found the bass on the side of the road. it's a fretless convert. But there's a bit of buzz. If you want some bass on any track I'd be happy to assist.

Thanks for the great comment on The Empty Sleepers Of Image.

I love it when someone uses the word "shambolic"

Hey, Rich! I listened the new GBV last night, and I really enjoyed it. Seems like the missing link between Under the Bushes and... well, everything else. Glad to see you back! If I see Bob and company, I'll relay the greetings from Ireland.
