"U" (feat. Sabrielle) [Cymatics Producer Royale Round 3 Mix]

Hitherside's 12th original. Recorded in Hitherside's home studio using PreSonus StudioLive 16.4.2 and Studio One.
She charms you with the wink of an eye
Chemical romance the curious kind
Decide to give it a try
Visions of pink elephant skin
Acid dreams and hallucination
You’re stroking the sky
Light her up, swallow it down, breathe her in till you’re floating around.
You’re hooked. She takes you over the edge.
You’re comin’ down fast like a ton of lead bricks
Wondering where to get your next fix
So cold and alone
Desperation’s doing you in
Sweating and dreading are wearing you thin
Feeling lower than low
Light her up, swallow it down, breathe her in till you’re floating around
You’re hooked. She takes you over the edge.
Her strangle on you is stronger than yourself
She pumps you up with inabilities
Light her up, swallow it down, breathe her in till you’re floating ….
You’re floating around
Light her up, swallow it down, breathe her in till you’re floating around
You’re hooked. You’re hooked
Light her up, swallow it down
She takes you over the edge

Over The Edge-(Watch the Guitar Solo Video in HD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm4WmUFwLZ4)

A basic remix of my old band Riffs 1986. I came across the old 16 track 2" reel and converted the tracks for use in my presonus work station. I'll probably redo some guitar on this because the tape actually deteriorated over time. Also will try to help out the drums a bit.

There's A Light - Basic Mix May 25 2015

This is a great live take of Lee Houk, Dave Turner and Jeremy Nolan playing Stone in Love at Curleys. All vocals muted. Mistakes and all! :)
The guitar parts in this song are based off of a live Journey show, when Neal used a Les Paul with a Floyd Rose tremolo. I had to emulate that with no tremolo system on my Les Paul.
Les Paul stock - CustomShop 5 Quilt Tangerine Burst. The guitar amp is a Fractal Axe FXII direct to board.  Mesa 2:90 and Mesa 2-12 recto cabinet are live to the stage for my personal monitor. All the guitar effects come from the Fractal AxFXII. 

I will be releasing this song again soon, but with the vocals from my long time buddy who has a great Steve Perry voice that comes natural to him.

........................................
Love sheds light on hidden hateful things
Fear cast out with the jealousy it brings
Plague and death in the words the prophet sings
But even life takes a toll

We’ve been stamped with a triple-digit mark
We’ve been wearing blindfolds in the dark
We’ve been ticking timebombs from the start
But we are under control

Love unrequited; so undecided
A little bit jaded; a little divided...we are

Axe-Fx III Firmware 12.08 features the best guitar pitch shifter I've ever experienced. It is insanely fast, which also makes it very tight.

Here's a quick clip to show my idea for a "Groove Shifter" effect where the shifted notes are offset in time to create weird syncopated polyrhythmic melodies. Using a dotted 8th delay technique to turn 8th notes into 16th notes is basically a cliché (a la "Another Brick in the Wall Part II" et al). Here, the pitch shift adds a cool twist. One expression pedal controls Input Gain of an extra Delay. Another controls Input Gain on a Plex Reverb. I improvised the guitar part to a drum loop and then layered synth bass and hihats. I'll try to develop this idea into something more structured.

It's a testament to this new shifter that you can't tell which notes are played and which are created by the effect!
