Artist Bio
Influences: Immortal, Emperor, Solstafir, Wolves In The Throne Room, Me and That Man
Just before FAWM18 I bought a Tele, and all kinds of strange songs emerged from it. Me and @gordon went on over the summer to release a bunch of them under the name of Bridge11. If you like space rock, then you might like A Blue Dot:

This time around I'm coming at it with an acoustic and a Gretsch Baritone.
Hang onto yer hats...! 😃

Hahah, it truly is! Luckily I know some skilled people who can handle it for me : D You've really managed to pull off some epic stuff with your voice, though. Cheers for that! And woo, I knew there was a Devin influence in there, hahah! You could really pull inspiration from worse places, he's the master of this kind of stuff : )

Thanks for the comment again, dude! Yeah, two metal guys had surprisingly fun time making clean pop/rock free of all the dirt! : D But you're right, I might be back to raging next time, heheh ; )

Dylan got a bit freaked out by the theremin at the beginning but then settled down. It's quite bonkers fun though all round. A re-do on the Vox is in order after FAWM.!

I so love that you've used the word "involving". That's exactly what I'm after, involvement and commitment. And I don't know any other way to do it either.
I've had a great moment listening to your songs. You're really impressive, Sir. 😀 -

Of course I'd love to team up with you again! And to scare the crap out of the community? How could I resist this offer?

And THANK YOU for your sweet comments. <3 -

A whole album of that metal stuff would definitely be awesome but it takes A LOT of energy (as you know). I'd have to fast for a week to prepare.
You and @Caterwauler should collab. You would do an AWESOME job mixing metal with her sonic soundscapes. That's my dream combo right there. -
@tfish77 1 week
Thanks for the comment on "Scary!" I used a Reason patch, I forget which one at the moment but I can look it up for you at some point. Reason is my go-to for weird synth noises, then I'll usually add a distortion pedal effect or something if needed.

Life Rage
Many, in this world of ours
Face things with a smile
Optomistic as we walk
Up life’s broad aisles
Many others we see
In all they engage
Show no patience at all
They fly into a rage
They’re most unhappy
With other’s cars
They get into fights
At neighborhood bars
Even at home
They yell and scream
They have no respect
For their primary team
Their lives are cut short
When their heart doesn’t work
A precious life wasted
By being a jerk
Take a look at this -

Thanks for the comment on "Black Metal Terror - Nuclear Horror", man! I've been listening to a lot of fast and violent stuff lately, and it felt good to create that sort of blackened grinding death, so maybe I'll come up with more stuff in the same vein! : )

@dragondreams 1 week
Aww, cheers, Peter!
Indeed, tis a cheap rail humbucker what I picked up from Ebay many years ago and used to be the neck pup in Frankie until I fitted the sustainer. I used the rail type because the string spacing is quite tight on the Tanglewood and I couldn't find a conventional humbucker with the correct spacing on the pole pieces. This does the trick. And it's the only pickup on the guitar. It's possible to get piezos specially for resonators, but decent ones are pricey. -

Thank you cor your comment on "Tuhat haavaa"! I'll provide a translation to the lyrics when I have the time : ) I often feel like it's more honest to write in one's mother tongue, even though I do enjoy writing in English as well. It's also that writing in Finnish challenges myself more, 'cause then it all feels much more personal and I can't just hide behind cliches, if you get my drift : D

Thanks for checking out the creepy subway song! I added some freaky EBow guitar and remixed, so now it is about 1000 times more creepy, in case you wanted to check that out, lol. I ran out of time last night and what the song needed was guitar of some sort. I figured it out tonight. 😀

Thanks for the comment! My setup for vocals is sE2200a II C mic, Steinberg CI 2 interface and a CLA-76 plugin to bring some saturation.

Ta for the comment - The set up was a blend of the piezo and the bridge humbucker into a Blackstar ID:15, feeding the line out as a stereo signal into the DAW. And I was simultaneously driving the GR-55 Guitar Synth, taking the stereo out from the synth and the mono out from its COSM section, so that meant two stereo pairs and a mono signal for each of the seven guitar tracks.
It very nearly ended up being 24 minutes long, but I decided I ought to stop and get some sleep as I get up for work at 05:30. It may well end up being expanded as part of a longer piece... -

@caterwauler & I would like to invite you to her Slack Workspace. It's an online platform where we've been sharing ideas and having fun talking. I'm posting the invite link here because we couldn't find an email address for you. If you're interested, check it out. Again, thanks for the BPM Swap Challenge. I quite enjoyed it - and I really liked what you came up with.

Interestingly, not an Octaver on Silently Screaming! It's a LFO filter on... either saw wave, square wave or both. I love those filter mods, but it's hard to fit them into actual songs. Amp modeling is neat.
Also, I'm playing the part in lockstep octaves, which probably adds to the Octaver impression. -

With the baritone acoustic, part of the draw is the SUPER thick strings, so even capoed you get a tone (in theory) like playing a really big dreadnaught. Not sure that came through in my recording though.
My background in metal led me to avoid capos for ages, but now I love them... The higher tension of the strings (especially above the fifth fret) makes for a very different tonal experience. Also, they keep my songs from all being in E, D or A. 😀
Try a tune with a capo on 8 or something, you'll see what I mean. -

Dang... did I just lose the "we keep Devin around because he does the occasional acoustic intro to a metal project before we take over and make it a real song" status?
Because that was as much as I could do. I'll go pour the whiskey then.

An acoustic Sapient album would hasten the worldwide magnetic pole shift, bringing mass chaos and spiritual realignment on a global scale.
So yeah, that sounds pretty good. -
