This is the first piece of music written by Obsidian. It's a rough draft that we already have parts in mind to record in the near future. We will not be in the habit of uploading demos or unfinished works, but it seemed to make sense that if there is a SoundCloud page, then there should at least be one sound. It is composed entirely in A Lydian. The ending section was actually supposed to be in A Lydian Minor, but a droning chord progression fell from the ether unto "Kevanie The Great" (lol, he hates when I call him that) and so we just went with it. - Matt

Obsidian - Strung Out On Life [1st Draft]

Obsidian is a songwriting project formed by alternative rock singer/songwriter Matthew Anderson and blues-rock guitarist Kevanie Remekie. It is an outlet for our creativity, and is not genre specific, though it is primarily guitar-based music. However a song comes to us from the figurative ether, that is how we craft it...the songs tell us how they want to be written. On occasion, our music will feature guest musicians, adding to our eclectic sound. Our influences are wide and varied, but some of them include Michael Jackson, Linkin Park Evanescence, John Mayer, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Slash, Fall Out Boy and many others far too numerous to mention.
