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,Texas!

 This is my attempt to get sounds that reside in my head out and into the world.
