Description: Some quick soloing over a backing track using my new favorite set of gear -- a Barber Gain Changer into a UAFX Ruby into a GFI Synesthesia and then from there into the DAW where I added delay and reverb.

The fourth offering from The Velvet Ropes, Night’s Fire is a hard rock tale of a one time encounter and revisits the sounds of the 1990’s metal movement.

What Would It Take

Some quick soloing over a backing track using my new favorite set of gear -- a Barber Gain Changer into a UAFX Ruby into a GFI Synesthesia and then from there into the DAW where I added delay and reverb.

Our latest tune is a piece of pop confection harkening back to the pop-rock era of bands like Boston or Journey.

Drive Me To The Cemetery

The Velvet Ropes deliver their seventh original song, “Troublesome Fire,” inspired by the East Troublesome Creek Fire that devastated Grand Lake, Colorado, on October 21, 2020. The track tells the poignant story of Lyle and Marilyn Hileman, an elderly couple who chose to stay in their cherished home of nearly 50 years as the wildfire consumed 193,812 acres and destroyed over 350 homes. Armed only with their unwavering love and unshakable faith, Lyle and Marilyn displayed uncommon courage, devotion, and conviction in the face of a terrifying fate.

Featuring guest harmonica player Bob Reed, “Troublesome Fire” fuses raw emotion with a blues and roots rock sound.  Regular band members Lance Woodson (guitar, bass), Cinco Barnes (lead vocals, guitar), Perin Moretti (keyboards), and Brent Taylor (drums) round out the lineup in a monster performance that kicks in the door and demands to be heard.

The Wonder Of It All

Suite of Hans Zimmer's Brilliant Interstellar Score

Interstellar Suite Mockup

On November 13, 1885, ten miners were killed in a premature explosion deep inside the Bull Domingo Mine near Silver Cliff, Colorado. Working in close quarters while handling multiple charges, they were victims of the era’s perilous mining practices—where speed often outweighed safety, and flickering lanterns lit the fuse on tragedy. “The Tomb at Bull Domingo” is an ambient elegy for those lost souls and the silence left behind. Wind-blown and mournful, it echoes the sorrow of a mountain that once swallowed men whole and never gave them back.  Guitar by Devquixote.
