New, Rock Band microphone. Live recording. Heavy, brutal, atmospheric and moving. Note: Track gets quieter at one point as this is a medley, and I did not adjust the second track to match the first. BUT THE SOLO IS DOPE :)

Mourning Ritual - Teaser 1 (2014)

This is the first uploaded (soon to be 1 of many) improvised jam sessions that I have done. This one falls over the classifications of Metal/Death Metal/Jazz/Experimental/Sludge Metal/Stoner Rock/Psychadelic/Progressive Metal/ Gore Metal/ Blackened Death Thrash etc... it's 20 minutes long so it has different sections. 

I (Stephen Matthew Evans) did vocals and guitar for this song. It was all improvised. There were no preset guidlines for how the song would go. The vocals are freeverse as are all of the  Guitar lines. You can see that it was all recorded with a single standing microphone because the sound drops after a minute and a bit I believe. If anyone who listens to this is willing to let me send him or her the file to fix it up so the levels are a littl more tollerable vocally (LOL) and to ensure that the volume has maximum capacitiy throughtout give me a message on facebook, on here or by email @ steveo56@hotmail.com.

Drums - Alan Ryan (also plays guitar on other tracks still to be uploaded over time). But for this guitar/drum combination of he and I we also had an addition that we hadn't ever jammed with before the day this was recorded.

Bass Guitar - Ryan Hudzick (Doesn't usually play a bass but his contributions worked into this nicely) added a few unexpected time emphasises that really make the piece flow. 

Please Note: I have done jams with lots of different people and try to mix it up.

Puddle In The Dust Improv

On my other page "StephenMatthewEvans1234" there are two tracks recorded on April 23rd, 2013. Like this one, they are both fully improvised. This was the warm up song we played first that day and it has probably some of the best guitar solos i have ever done. The pinch harmonics and bends are really bright and the phrasing is much more fluid than the other track on this page. "Pudle in the Dust" was recorded prior to new recording equipment (Galaxy II celular device) and also prior to Alan Ryan's joing of the band Lisovyk earlier this year. Our skills since then (winter 2011) have definately improved. Please follow both pages and comment!
