We wanted to give everyone a sneak peak of the LPU XIII CD. Premiering "Primo [I'LL BE GONE - LONGFORM 2010 DEMO]", an early demo of LINKIN PARK's "I'LL BE GONE" off the studio album LIVING THINGS.

A note from Mike Shinoda on the track:

Although we opted for a different final direction for “I’LL
BE GONE,” I always loved this longer version of the song.
I think this is a good example of how a different structure
and arrangement can totally change the vibe of a song.
Plus, this has a different chorus... - Mike Shinoda / LINKIN PARK

Primo [I'LL BE GONE - LONGFORM 2010 DEMO]

After 3 years I decided to re-record an old demo. It has a lot more structure now! Check it out! The old demo can be found on my YouTube channel.
First it was just an intro because i didn't have the equipment to do original full tracks. Now i was finally able to do it. This instrumental is designed to have lyrics as well as sounding great without.

Sounds best with headphones! :)

HTF Chorus - Snippet [1 020415]

This was just me messing around for an hour or so. Had some ideas and needed to create something. 
This track is unfinished.

I know, I'm out of control... ;-)

Don't you hold your breath
Because I'm not coming down
The battlefields have left me only scars
And floating in the dark
I'm swimming in the sound
Of voices that should have never been apart

Darker than the blood
Higher than the sun
This is not the end
You are not the only one!

With venom on their tongues
They paint it on the walls
Where justice doesn't have the strength to hold
The higher that they climb
The harder they will fall
And we will break their bones until they fold

Darker than the blood
Higher than the sun
This is not the end
You are not the only 

In the center of the silence, 
Violent thoughts are thrown through
The thick smoke and flickering lights that brighten the room
All the things that you wanted to say 
Get lost and thrown away
You debate and hesitate to speak your mind
Can't turn back once you've crossed that line
But sometimes there's someone you know who just doesn't care
And has to see you go to ever notice you were there
You've got no control over where you go
Taken down a road that you don't know
And you feel so lost that you want to hide your face
You don't recognize the place you're in
Sometimes, the sun doesn't shine your way
And sometimes, the night doesn't turn to day
And sometimes, the light's so bright it burns through the night
To keep the darkness at bay

Darker than the blood
Higher than the sun
This is not the end
You are not the only one 
Higher than the sun
This is not the end
You are not the only one!

No, I’m just taking a shot / ah
Maybe I’m just too eager / oh 
Maybe I lost the plot / ha 
I used to pity some people / I 
Said they were missing a spine / yeah 
Maybe the problem is ego / maybe the 
Maybe the problem is mine / really I’m fine
Don’t get too intimate, don’t get too curious
This is just feeling like it’s not that serious
Stare at the ceiling / feeling delirious
Fuck all your empathy I want your fury ’cause I will just
Tell you I’m better then / better then
Spit out my medicine / medicine, ay
Drunk on adrenaline / -drenaline, ay
And I don’t know why I

I know I can't make it stop
I know I'm out of control
I keep on filling it up to overflow!!

When they come for me, I'll be gone.

Vicarious - Tool (Guitar Tone Test)

This is the instrumental track for the mash-up with the same name.  Sometimes the vocal might bury some of the more interesting things about a mash-up such as this.

These mash-ups are not as simple as taking Instrumental A and fitting Vocal B to it.  It's actually a lot of beatmatching separate stems and finding where their individual phrases line up.  Then to make sure they're in the same key (which actually is some hardcore nerdy music theory shit.  For example, A Place For My Head is in Eb Phrygian mode, while No More Sorrow is in Eb Harmonic Minor.  

Yeah.

Also, the song switches from 4/4 to 12/8 at the climax, but the quarter note pulse stays the same.  I kept this mix at 133, which seemed like a good average of BPMs involved.  128, 135, 133, 135, 140.  I erred slower because that 128 is the main vocal from Darker Than Blood.  With vocals, you want to try and move it in time / key as little as possible from its original key.
