I recently discovered that some Tremonti tracks are in Drop C# so I could play them with my newest Hohner guitar. I gave it a go and realised that I'm actually better than I thought haha.
I need to work on my pinch harmonics though...
Working on my second cover video of my Medicate cover.
The first cover video was a rather easy and quick video of Home (also by Breaking Benjamin):
https://www.youtube.com/copynotice?video_id=vM6BKVFZsEA#
It's blocked in Germany, for the possible fans I might have there: sorry, I'll work on it.

I hope you enjoy this quick thing and watch the video (if possible) and have a nice day

Stay Tuned!

Pinpoint instrumental demo

A first demo of "Castle in the Sky" by Artificial Halo (my soloproject). Everything you hear played by me and is in essence a story told by music, as of now at least.

If you like this please leave a like on the Artificial Halo Facebook page and share it with people.

More music will follow.

Titled

A Friend's Miss Fortune

Titled 01 - A Friend's Miss Fortune - Nick Name & "Friends"

Second song of my Titled series, taking a slightly different path down musicalley (this series will contain a lot of puns, so.. sorry for that).
Featuring Adam "I don't want to do this anymore" Jackson on guitars.

Main riff is 6/8 - 6/8 - 4/4. Other part is 6/8 - 7/8 (3x) then 6/8 and 8/8. Fast part is 8/8 - 9/8 and then 4/4 and repeat that.
A video might be up soon on Youtube (with time signatures in the video), if anyone's interested. And if not, there still will be ;)

Written and recorded by Nick Name.

Apundance

Hopscotch On The Rocks

Titled 02 - Hopscotch on the Rocks - Nick Name and "Friends"

And here's the third song of my Titled series. Back to the ambient stuff for now... Might do some updates later on. Title is a play on words by the way.

Featuring:
Adam "Why Are You Doing This To Me" Jackson on acoustic guitars.
Nick Name on bass
Emyl Fitfurrough King on drums 
(Emyl retroactively played on Titled 01&02 as well.)

Written and recorded by Nick Name 
Performed by Nick Name & "Friends"

Play Onwards

Titled 03 - Play Onwards - Nick Name & "Friends"

Acoustic song in mostly 7/4 about desiring someone, but knowing it won't ever be possible or the right thing.

It's not yet finished, but wanted to let people hear it already.

Never Have - Artificial Halo (demo)

Fourth track of the 'Nick Name & "Friends" - Titled' project. I noticed almost all shares of my tracks are by 'people' who have no original music and only follow random people. I find them quite 'hollow', emotionless and 'meaninglish' shares and likes. Therefore, with 'love', I wrote this song for you <3 

It's mostly 7/8 and 6/8 and the drums are kind of inspired by Gavin Harrison. So, also dedicated to mr. Gavin Harrison, my (only) drum hero!

Featuring:
Adam "Please Just Let Me Go" Jackson on electric guitars
Nick Name on bass and keys
Emyl Fitfurrough King on drums

Written and recorded by Nick Name 
Performed by Nick Name & "Friends"

Can be used for free (on projects) if link and/or name is/are provided in credits/description etc. If you do, please send me a link :D


Meaninglish

Titled 04 - Meaninglish - Nick Name & "Friends"

Well, this is what you get when you try to play one of your songs in a totally different tuning when you're pre-pro'ing for your EP recording.

Photo is unfortunately not mine but awesome as fork
Also title is a pun of course (Never have I opened 5 sharpie's)
Play on 'Never Have' (the finger pattern and chord shapes) and Open C#5, the tuning of "Process".

Never Have I Open(ed) 5 SharpC's in the Process

Volume is very low, so keep in mind when the next song starts.

State Of (Un)Intention(al) Offbeat

Track 3 off "For The Grand Total Of One" released on the last day of 2017. This EP is still a demo version, but I wanted to have people hear it already, so this is sort of a sneak preview of the whole EP. If you're interested, follow me here, because next year the real official one will be released and will be much better than it is now. But for now, enjoy this lead single and feel free to share.

03 Never Have  - Artificial Halo from For The Grand Total Of One (2017)

I've been trying to finish this stupid EP for months (originally wanted to release it January 20th or so). It's finally here, 2 days after my birthday (on which day I also wanted to release it as well) and I hope people will like it. I haven't paid that much attention to it though, it's just some experiments with my cool synthesizer plugin and such.

Track List:
1. To Get Lost Elsewhere
2. Distance Fading
3. Excited, Unmanned
4. Embraced, Hollow
5. Vaguely Unaware
6. Internal Equilibrium
7. Beyond Sight

I liked this way of working a lot more than previous times, as I started with writing the tracks instead of naming them, and then finding out the track didn't "resemble" the title and abandoning the track or project. There will be more EPs like this coming this year (but we all know how that might work out...) and some albums possibly as well.

If you like it, please let me know and cheers!
