I recorded the majority of “Black Moths” around New Years this year but I’ve been tweaking things here and there ever since.
[audio:https://hellocomein.com/soundbox/hellomusic_mike/BlackMoths_v2.mp3]Not really sure what to do with this and I feel a bit constricted by the bad drum loops, the weak low end (no bass). But I think there is a lot of potential for this guitar rock song. Reminds me of something My Morning Jacket would do. I remember it being nice and slow and cathartic when I originally dropped some of the guitar parts down.
All those years of trying to play cleanly and articulate in jazz settings and school has finally maybe gotten me here where I just want to rock out and play with feedback. Someday I would like to combine the two sides of my brain: the feedback side and the rational jazz side.
This would sound great with Greg laying down some old school 70’s rock drums (ala Bonham)… definitely sounds like a great live song. Maybe Greg can help out with this one as well when he does some drums for “Look Out.” With SEVEN days left we have a lot to work on. Let the countdown begin for the RPM Challenge. Should be fun.
Will be glad to add drums… we could do another mp3 exchange. That seemed to work pretty well for Look Out. Nice instrumental…
Do you have any suggestions for this thing? I think it could be cool w\ vocals but I have no ideas per se on it though. But yeah if you want to record some drums on it…make it really loud and boombastic like Zeppelin “when the levee breaks” style…just solid rock and roll.
