This track was influenced by metal band Polyphia.
The chords used in this song were recycled from their entire EP "Inspire."

For maximum quality, the composer suggests headphones that produces plenty of bass.

Polyphia

Mile Zero - Periphery (Guitar Intro)

Used my friend's Polyphia patches with a few modifications to get this very crisp tone. I decided to record what I had been thinking of for a while. Very inspired on Volumes.

Another Idea (Ableton Polyphia Patches)

Bill Murray - Phantogram (Intro)

A cover of My Curse from Killswitch Engage! I like this song and I like this outro. I will do the whole song soon. :)

Killswitch Engage - My Curse (Outro Cover)

A metal rendition of Sagat's theme from Street Fighter II. The outro is loud for some reason.

Sagat Metal Theme

Made the lead cleans on a loop pedal at home one night, next morning went to Good Buddy Chris's house and programmed some drums and recorded all parts by myself. All tones and mixing credited to Christopher Banuelos!

Pentagraham Crackers

All New Ideas

Just a quick upload of the recent GGD Matt Halpern signature library pack using Physical Education by Animals As Leaders as an example. All drum tones are raw and not mixed in any sort of way. I will definitely be more active on releasing WIPs and new bands songs from here on out.

Physical Education GGD Tester

Another WIP using preset delay effects available in Ableton Live 9. Running GGD through Kontakt. The quick, syncopated palm mutes are placeholders for more elaborate notes and picking patterns. This will be more colorful. Also, I apologize for the noticeable shit quality in mixing and volume; I'm still fairly new to using a DAW.

Dotted Eighths WIP

This was probably the first solo I ever wrote that had some form of difficulty to it. I think I was stuck on the Inspire EP by Polyphia at the time. Damn, time flies... Also, please forgive the horrible mixing and tones; I've still not acquired studio monitors to work with. That will come soon.

First Solo Ever

Dotted Eighths WIP Revision

Some demo I wrote out. As usual, it's short as fuck lol. But hey, I needed to get this one out of my head while it was still there. No mixing done aside from levels (which still sound like shit because I'm not my homie Chris).

Alternatively Metal

Asked my good buddy to remaster an old bass test I did at his house when I got it. The mix is so much more punchy, crisp, and controlled.

ESP Ltd. D-5 Bass Test (Remastered)

Soft section I wrote over the past few days in an odd time signature with the attempt to make it groove(5/8). Had a few chords in mind that I wanted to work with, and writing the bass line was a nice treat. Like the way this came out. Enjoy!

Diem

Trying my hand at some new plug-ins I got interested in. Found myself unhappy with BIAS FX and moved on to some other VSTs. The ones used here include:

GGD Modern & Massive
Toneforge - Misha Mansoor VST
FabFilter Saturn
CabLab 3 - God's Cab IRs

Mind me, I did as little mixing as possible.

New VSTs -  Heavy Demo

Using various plug-ins for this project I'm working on. So much inspiration comes from everything that's out there nowadays.

Running GGD Modern & Massive, Toneforge Misha Mansoor, Neural DSP Archetype Nolly, and Neural DSP Darkglass Ultra into Ableton Live.

New Shit

I like to upload sound clips of ideas that come off the top of my head and saving them here. Sorry that they're never full songs, but I promise I'm working on it.
