10 I Will Survive

LOFI 2023

Blood Red Dawn

Brave

Made on home studio ZOOM MRS 1266, and played on Fender electric guitar, as the picture shows. That was around the year 2007, so yes, a long long time ago. The subtle humming in the first riff is me - one and only opportunity to hear my voice, since I don't plan on recording vocals anytime soon. The blast beat rhythm from beginning and up-tempo rhythms all the way through of the song I programmed into the drum machine segment of the studio. Then I played one guitar after another, nicely layered, included the mini-solo somewhere in the middle. Enjoy.

Metal trip from long long time ago

This track I've done about a year ago, and it was sitting in my library because it wasn't completely finished. Last week I looked at it again and kept polishing details until I reached pretty high level of production (well, to my standards anyway).
Song lasting 6:17 minutes is my longest track yet, so that's a record right there. Moreover, I got way better with arrangement of cells (in garageband), and now I can work with structures way faster, along with having the ability to make longer and longer songs. Pretty good improvement considering that last 6 months I did almost nothing on production level. I guess creativity works in mysterious ways. 
Here I'm using 2 basses. One continuous-sounding and the other short and punchy. Both electronic and heavily distorted. Intro is long and for over half a minute there's only bass plying. I wanted to let you sink that sound in on it's own, since for me that bass sound is an orgasm. I play 2 octaves, first lower one, then upper, then both. That's an intro. 
Then the rhythms start. I use 3 main ones and two additional ones (one at the beginning and one at the end). First main one is classic techno rhythm(kick on first and third, and snare on third), second one is complex rhythm with slow hi-hat (closed), and third one is with fast hi-hat(closed). After playing first one for over a minute and half (after intro), there's mixture of second and third one going almost until the end. Melodically, there's two melodies that complement each other and kind of play out the most of the melodic structure. In short slow down at the end I play only 2 basses with kick as obvious finish line.  
Enjoy.

The End of Rave

I wrote this song back in 2010 and it's a coming of age song with a nice swing to it. Very retro feeling like early-70's. My attempt at a kind of Chicago type song. Charlie did a good job singing and I played a nice lead on it. Summer is just around the corner so how about a little Sunday Summer Swing with that nice cold beer or Margarita! I also produced a video for this song and it will available to watch on May 8 on YouTube - https://youtu.be/Acus_OcQ4aA
Cheers! 🍻 

“SUNDAY SUMMER SWING”

SUNDAY IN THE PARK,
YOU AND I LYING BY A FOUNTAIN,  
WATCHING THE KITES, SAILING HIGH, IN THE SKY,
MAKING LOVE IN THE BLUE,
LIKE ME AND YOU, LIKE ME AND YOU, AH,
              
SWEET SUMMER MUSIC PLAYING,
WHEREVER WE GO,
THE SUN SERENADING THE COLORFUL FLOWERS,
THAT DANCE IN THE BREEZE,
LIKE YOU AND ME, LIKE YOU AND ME, 
         
OUR AGE OF INNOCENCE HAS DIED,
ALONG WITH OUR DREAMS, 
THE LOVE BORN IN YOUNG LOVERS EYES, 
IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE ANY LONGER,
NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE ANYMORE,

SHARING A SWING IN SPRINGTIME,
UNDER OUR FAVORITE TREE, 
COOL LEMONADE, IN THE SHADE, LIKE MOM MADE,   
BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE, 
LIKE YOU AND I, LIKE YOU AND I,

OUR AGE OF INNOCENCE HAS DIED,
ALONG WITH OUR DREAMS, 
THE LOVE BORN IN YOUNG LOVERS EYES, 
IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE ANY LONGER,
NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE LONGER,        
SUNDAY SUMMER SWING, SUNDAY SUMMER SWING,
SUNDAY SUMMER SWING, SUNDAY SUMMER SWING.
