The beginning of follow-up material to Red Carpet. If you made Ulcerate Djenty and got weird with Gorguts it might sound like this.

VENNS | Phantom Year (idea demos v.1)

Foreigns | Vesica (working version)

A continuation of that Smile / Authors sound. Maybe a pinch of Animal Faces too.. 

Siesta | Mannequin

Oh SNAP! Some more bedroom "post-skraz" jamz

Siesta | Fraternal

Reaching for a fresh approach to Siesta. Not sure if I actually like it, so... lemme know if it's worth pursuing if ya can.  

Siesta | Suburbs (new ideas)

Grind. Really artsy grind. The kind that fans of grind hate. This is a working version, no vocals as of yet.

For gear noobs, I use whatever is on hand. This recording is this stuff >

Guitar: PRS Mushok baritone, A standard tuning (16 to 72), Seymour Duncan Invaders 
POD Pro HD - "Treadplate" model

Bass: Ibanez BTB 705DX, EMG 40DCs
Guitar Rig 3 -"Thunder" model

Drums: Toontrack EZ Drummer w/ DFH2 kit

Recording: Reaper (super old version) & Line 6 UX2 interface

VENNS Red Carpet

Grind. More really artsy grind. The kind that fans of grind talk badly about on the internet. Really quite intentionally breaking many of the conventions in the genre. This is a working version, no vocals.

VENNS Champagne

Continuing with the grind. More art-face grind. The kind that art school dropouts utilize to muse themselves. You will find few conventions here. This is a working version, no vocals.

VENNS Headlines

Messin with some post HC stuff. A continuation of "The Smile/ Authors" type jams that I was doing a couple years ago. There is something of a band I'm working with to do more of this, but not really this..

All Smiles

Hey ya'll, thanks a heap for checking out my jams. I use Soundcloud as a showcase for my work in progress, to share with my peers, gather feedback etc. So it's possible That some things here may never see "completion" in the traditional sense. 

I play guitar, bass, and drums, with interest/ ambition in a couple genres. Although those genres tend to relate to one another. Genres being primarily, grind, doom, 90s post hardcore, death metal, djent, and math rock. Creatively, I tend to mix things up, pushing against whatever the convention of the genre I'm working in is. There are 2 camps on this, people interested in new things, and people who want very much for the past to remain static. I hang at the "new things" camp. Ha! So you can rely on me to do all things that purists get upset about. Hahaaaa!

For those of you out there doing similar things, I'd love to connect, and am always interested in exploring possible collaborations.

Live rad!
Scotto
