Fun Ninjam Session, and some updates..

So I just came out of a pretty fun Ninjam session with a few guys and I thought maybe i'd share it. It has a really strong Pink Floyd sort of vibe, it's a bit noisy but I really love the progression we had going on. Unfortunately it kind of falls apart some towards the middle because the bassist ended up leaving, but ah well, that's the nature of the beast when dealing with online services :( . This particular piece clocks in at about 6 and a half minutes, it features me on rhythm guitar, some excellent drumming by my brother Chris (Katasdf), RAzzeL on keyboard, some extremely impressive lead guitar by Venusio, and bass being played by Doomer. There's a lot of screw ups but that's live unrehearsed playing for you :D

I've included a stream of it and also a direct download link for anyone that wants it as this won't appear in my actual music archive.

As for the other updates.. some people might be pleased to know that i'm currently in the process of a remake of Sixth Circle, though at this point it's sort of starting to turn into a whole re-write based on the original acoustic riff. This time around i'll be featuring orchestral instruments prominently and the song will likely have a much heavier progression and a much more full sound. I haven't completely decided which direction i'm going to go with it, but it will definitely have a heavier emphasis on the acoustic aspect that the original song was based on. Because the song is taking a bit of a different direction compared to the original it's likely I won't release it under the same name but as a new song entirely, but i'll cross that bridge when I get to it, for now, I just need to finish the damned thing.. :|

songstowearpantsto.com – Check this guy out, it’s pretty damned funny.

Just though i'd share a link with you that I came across and thought was not only interesting but pretty funny too. Andrew from songstowearpants.com takes random submissions/ideas from his followers and then turns them into songs, no matter how ridiculous the concept.

While a lot of his music isn't quite my cup of tea, I have a tremendous amount of respect for this dude. He has written an absolutely mind boggling amount of music in more genres than you'd think possible, and somehow manages to keep each song unique. How he is able to write so much music, but more importantly keep it interesting after so many songs is completely beyond me. Anyways, check him out here, I think you'll enjoy it..

Besides, if you don't find songs about a robot talking about never being in love funny, then all hope is truly lost for you.
