*2nd mix. Another brand new original post-rock tune! I'm on a roll! This was recorded with my LTD H-200 guitar, my brand new Ibanez High Performance RGA421HPQMBIG guitar & my LTD spalted maple Bass. I used the Keeley Parallax Spatial Generator pedal for the staccato leads. Drums are from Arnaud Krakowka. I really dig this song... I think it's supposed to remain instrumental. I have no lyrics or vocal patterns in mind so... I guess it's done? We will see... I hope you enjoy it!

Rebirth of Spring (2025)

A brand new post-rock original song I finished on 1/11/2025. It's an instrumental song that I do not intend to add any lyrics to. There was a youtube vid reviewing guitars & equipment that caught my ear & provided the inspiration for this song, but I wrote & composed it all from my head afterwards. The equipment I used was an LTD H-200 guitar, an Ibanez High Performance RG guitar & a LTD spalted maple bass guitar that I adore to play. My Line-6 Spider III was used for all guitar parts & I added the Keeley Parallax Spatial Generator pedal for the staccato guitar leads throughout the song. I ran my bass through my Positive Grid Spark 40 amp & mic'd all of it using a $3 computer microphone I found at Goodwill. I "programmed" (cut & pasted snippets according to my compositional needs) the drums using Arnaud Krakowka's drums "Easy Metal Drum Track 85 bpm" from his youtube channel. It's a beautiful song that is sometimes quiet & pretty, sometimes heavy & dramatic... but I find it to be very inspiring & empowering & it has an awesome groove. Enjoy!

I have played guitar since the age of 14 (around 1990 give or take) & I still play to this day... only now instead of playing live or seeking to be in a band, I record my own music at home! I use Audacity software (free!) & basically use a mic to record my guitars, bass & vocals through my various guitar amps. Drums I "program" by downloading tracks from youtube & chopping them up to suit my needs. I write my own music as well as record covers. I'm not a singer & all of my vocals are achieved by doing multiple vocal tracks to create a harmony that is otherwise lacking. Sometimes the results are ok, sometimes it sucks. Either way, making music & taking care of my cats are the 2 main reasons I am on this Earth. I hope you enjoy some of my stuff!

Making music is my passion. That and my cats! I've been playing guitar since I was 14 years old back in 1989 when my Dad gave me my 1st guitar & amp. It was a beautiful old Univox guitar that he had bought at Montgomery Ward in the 60's & he also had 2 Airline amps he gave to me. He played surf guitar in high school. One of my life's biggest regrets is that I sold that equipment around the time I was 18-19 years old. It was irreplaceable to me. I currently own around 25 guitars, 5 or so amps & numerous other equipment like pedals & mics that I use to record my music at home using Audacity software. I do both covers & original tunes w/a tendency towards grungy sounding guitars, but I also enjoy writing quiet pretty songs too. This is my 5th soundcloud page! The other 4 are full... around 30-35 songs on each page. Enjoy!
