The Glass Rose. It will also later feature a clean guitar part at the beginning which will probably be similar to the tune. It will also feature a clean guitar part at the end, which will lead into the 2nd-part of this two-part epic 'And The Shattered Thorns'.

Intyria - The Glass Rose (Guitar and Programmed drums)

This song isn't actually called Mustard but it will do as a working title for now.

Ash came up with a drum beat that sounded better than what I wrote down from memory. I put a guitar riff to it

Intyria - Mustard (new song idea)

I've been playing around with electronic drum sounds recently in an attempt to make industrial music. So far, I've found it requires a lot of preparation as getting the right drum sound is crucial. Here are some drum patterns I came up with. They are just programmed into my DAW, rather than played with sticks or pads.

Note this is not meant to be a proper piece of music or a song. It is simply 10  different drum patterns, each played through twice.

Electro-Industrial Drum Test (first attempt)

Here is a verse I came up with in an Industrial/EBM style. I tried making a chorus and an intro but it was rubbish. It could maybe alternatively be a chorus and have something else as a verse instead.

Industrial/EBM Verse Idea

Recorded live at a jam/rehearsal with 4 mics on the drums, 2 on guitar, DI bass and a vocal mic.

Drums - Kris
Bass - Ewan
Guitar - Mark

Ewan, Kris and Mark - September 2014 Jam - Part 3

Sorry about the clipping on a few channels, such as the overheads and guitar. The pre-amp gain was too high on a few channels so I had to turn them down during the song. This is the very beginning of our jam so nothing was tested very well.

Recorded live at a jam/rehearsal with 4 mics on the drums, 2 on guitar, DI bass and a vocal mic.

Ewan, Kris and Mark - September 2014 Jam - Part 1

Recorded live at a jam/rehearsal with 4 mics on the drums, 2 on guitar, DI bass and a vocal mic. Everything is just jammed with with nothing written in advance or any predetermined structure.

Drums - Kris
Bass - Ewan
Guitar - Mark

Ewan, Kris and Mark - September 2014 Jam - Part 2

Sweet Deception with metronome for Ash to practice the drums along to prior to recording the real thing.

Sweet Deception (with metronome)

Here's a song which is currently untitled. I added keyboards, moved the different parts around until I had the structure we used at the last practice.

Drums are programmed. Guitar and keyboards are played by me.

Heavy song with chips (with provisional structure)

The song 'Faces'.

Guitar and keyboards are played by me. Drums are programmed.

The verses will probably need to be extended also to allow time between the choruses finishing and the verse vocals beginning. I am just not sure how much to extend the verses by.

Faces (with keyboards and provisional structure)

I am a guitar player who also plays keyboards and have dabbled with other instruments from time to time with limited success. I teach guitar lessons and record my own music. In the past, I have also recorded other people's music - primarily  bands with friends of mine in them. I am currently at Aberdeen University and don't have as much time for music as I once did.

I am a bit of a guitar/gear nerd and like gear and need to buy more of it as often as I can as I never have all the stuff I 'need'.
