Complications Only Create Sadness V3

just passionate, not professional at all, home studio

Guitar, Bass, Drum Programming, Synth Programming, Mixing and Mastering.

Tracks uploaded here are mostly unfinished since I can't do vocals/lyrics.  So if there are any vocalists/songwriters out there that want to work on anything let me know.  I would also be interested in joining/forming a band, if anyone needs a guitarist that does whatever it is that I do.

everything is a work in progress

Original music written & produced by The Day Afters 
-=Oceanside, CA=-
& Previously Unreleased Material from Baltimore's Soma Holiday
(Bob Maddox, Chuong Pham, Ian Wilhelm, Amit Trivedi)
Featuring @ZenGazer on Bass

I’m on guitar(s) Bass, & some synth. I explore music ...I make 
 a drum track , then lay bass groove over the drums , & the last is Guitar so I never know which direction the track is truly going until finished. Lately, I've been adding sampled vocals....but first, instead of a guitar riff or chord progression I prefer to not know & let the rhythm section guide my ear & creativity . ( Frank Zappa) used different rhythm session players live so depending what they played ; that dictated his improvisation which notes by ear to play. That's my formula for doing these instrumental tracks :) - LT Guitar.  Austin,

Three men who like rocking garage heavy metal (80s and 90s thrash metal, oldschool death, punk, grind rock and stuff), drinking beer and texting funny, amazing and bloodthirsty lyrics (Highschool problematics, German historical problematics, frogs, panters/lepards/tigers etc., cold war, Punic Wars, Sioux wars, murderer, true crime etc). And drinking beer.

🎸We are a five-piece studio band mixing different genres and influences into our own sound.
Members:
Tom (vocals, occasional keys/guitar)
Mary (guitar, backing vocals)
Mauro (keyboards, piano, synths, winds)
Davide (bass, synth bass)
Valerio (drums, percussion)

The band has existed since 2015, but we only started publishing on SoundCloud and other platforms in 2024. Many of the songs we’ve released so far are reboots of tracks we wrote years ago, in case you were wondering how we managed to release over 100 tracks in one year. Before 2024 we only published on our own blog (which is now gone, replaced by a new one we barely use), so our audience was limited to a few hundred friends and acquaintances.
We’re not professional musicians! We have other jobs, and we don’t even consider ourselves musicians, at most entertainers and awareness-raisers.
