An all-digital Garageband demo (music only) I came up with for my band Arc. It was nicknamed Jackson as the starting riff originally sounded Michael Jackson-ish. It has significantly changed into more of a Machine Head vibe piece. I particularly like the groovy bass beneath it all.
Everything is a work in progress so constructive feedback is appreciated.


Arc - Jackson

This is an all-digital GB demo (music only) I've pitched to the other guys in my band Arc. I jokingly titled it Sellout single as it's significantly shorter that our usual song lengths of 7min+. I wanted something that flowed well and utilised even parts of electric and clean/soft.

I feel this would be a good intro track live and I plan on playing the piano parts to it.

Arc - Sellout Single

Went for something quite different in this all-dig concept for Arc. Looking for electronic that was textural, had nice flow and evolves into a live instrument section then back again. The 1/16th step guitar during the build-up with the synths I think adds a nice feel, to me reminiscent of RATM, and follows the sub-synth bass.

Ultimately the main aim was to bring the lead synth to life with the guitar melody in the middle. If this eventuates to an Arc song it will be very interesting.

Arc - Surface

Another new exploration all-digital for Arc. I particularly like the FLT style Korn leads mixing with the off-beat cymbal and chunky bass giving it a hint of math-metal. Still contains simple, sad changes which I love and the synths add a slight chaotic vibe.

Im excited.

Arc - The New Black

This is my remix of The Disappointed's 'Dirt Farmer' as part of a competition. Hope you like!
