Shout out loud!

Instrumental original. I find myself playing and writing these tracks in afterhours, evenings, at night, when in need of a dose of guitar. A lot of finger tapping in this one...

Payload

This song is dedicated to a very dear friend. Know him practically all my life, starting with listening to beautiful heavy music during teenage years in the eighties leading up till now. This track is a humble hommage to all that.

Aristotle Copernicus

Twenty minutes of a riff over which I improvised - and went into a trance while I was recording. 

The moment with the B3 was added later. 

The whole track started as an experiment with Shreddage-2.  I don't think that a keyboard should replace a guitar, but I do think that guitar-like sounds can be used, as they're simply a particular use of synthesis, to create music similar but separate from a guitar.

Instrumentation:
"Heavy" drum kit, Logic Pro
Shreddage II guitar simulator through a Bogner amp simulator
Chapman Stick through a flip-top bass amp simulator
Hammond B3 through vintage Leslie simulator
Steinway Piano
Minimoog Model D (VI)
