"Shadows of Fury" represents another evolution in my AI-powered instrumental journey, featuring an unexpected but powerful combination - electric guitar and 6-string electric violin working together to create something truly cinematic. Rather than competing against each other, these instruments form a dramatic alliance where each brings its own strengths to build an emotional arc over nearly five minutes.

The track unfolds like a film score, with the guitar providing the structural foundation and rhythmic power while the violin serves as the emotional voice soaring above. From the atmospheric intro where clean guitar arpeggios set the mood and the violin enters with haunting sustained notes, the piece builds through distinct phases - sometimes the guitar dominates with palm-muted chugging and aggressive riffs, other times the violin takes center stage with tremolo runs, glissandi, and those screaming high notes that cut through the mix like a metal vocalist.
What makes this track special is how the instruments complement rather than compete. The guitar grounds everything with power chords and rhythmic drive, while the 6-string electric violin explores the full emotional spectrum - from lyrical melodic passages to frantic rapid-fire bowing that matches the guitar's intensity. The violin's extended range allows it to harmonize with the guitar in the lower registers while still reaching those soaring heights that define the track's most dramatic moments.

The climactic sections showcase both instruments at peak intensity, creating massive walls of sound where the violin's sustained vibrato rides over the guitar's relentless assault. By the outro, the violin carries the final emotional weight with haunting sustains while the guitar resolves to clean tones, ending the journey where it began - in atmospheric shadows.

Working with AI to orchestrate this blend was incredible because I could layer these contrasting textures exactly as I heard them - the percussive attack of the guitar balanced by the violin's expressive sustain, creating something that feels both heavy and cinematic. "Shadows of Fury" proves that metal instrumentals can be about emotional storytelling, not just technical showmanship.

Heroine Slow by Pencey Prep

Myself by Leathermouth

Back before Hesitant Alien was a thing, and before I wanted to pursue a solo career, I wanted to start a band and just sing and play guitar, after my chem broke up. The name of the band was going to be Baby Animal Hospital (the record label hated the name, especially since it included both the words ‘baby’ and ‘hospital’ in the same phrase), and I did a bunch of rough graphic design for it, but in the end, it really felt like a solo thing, so that’s what it became. But when it was Baby Animal Hospital (I wanted something that sounded warm and fuzzy and loud, like the tones) I recorded this track with Doug for the opening of the record. The lyrics/sounds are just the word BAH over and over again, which where the first letters of each word of the band name, but that wasn’t intentional, I just liked the sound. And this was us really messing with auto-tune to try and make it sound like an instrument. It was supposed to be this track as track one and go right into Action Cat. Later on, I figured I would just make a zine with the name Baby Animal Hospital, but I didn’t get very far with it. Still like the name, and may do something with it in the future. Maybe one day I’ll share all the graphic design I did for it when it was a band, a lot of which was cut and paste by hand.

Success!
