Personally I can do lyrics if I have a specific topic to write about, but I’m definitely in the ‘the music is the fun part’ camp 

I did a Smiths cover here. Took me a few mixes but I’m happy with the result.

If you’re interested, I also have a collection of instrumentals at https://beta.lbry.tv/@ewe2#f Its a new content platform, designed to be self-sustaining on a bitcoin currency.

Let Me Get What I Want is great, a lovely feel that I can’t quite describe – almost ethereal, but that’s not quite it… my crappy English aside, definitely a good job there!

Thanks! It’s a combination of a couple of things I was trying. I really like the sound of the original but wanted to play with my pedals so the guitar is laden with delay and reverb goodness from my obscura and polara pedals, and the bass is a combination of a dry track and a chorus (behringer uc300) slightly panned to the side, really going all-out 80’s here! The vocals is also a combination of a dry track centered and a panned reverb/delay track so you here the repeats off to the side which sounds really nice. I did quite a bit of rerecording of tracks in the end, I’ve finally learnt my lesson about recording digital tracks below -12dB.

(heads up for other people, you need to highlight the second link, then manually copy paste it as the link gets broken because the @ewe2 means ewe2 mentioned himself…)

I love your avatar on the website!

Are the instrumentals all original? They sound pretty damn good! When I get a chance, I need to listen to the rest of them – they’ll probably be fantastic for the last month of study before I finish school.

Yeah quite a few of them have never seen the light of day before now, my old workflow was recording tracks to midi in an old version of Cakewalk (in XP!), and then tortuously rendering them using linux Timidity++ and configuring the patches by hand. Very unlikely that I’ll ever do that again. I have re-rendered a couple from midi to FL Studio, but most of those are relatively failed experiments, so when I joined LBRY I thought it was a good opportunity to let out some midis. It’s a little weird to listen back to these and realize I was doing synthwave before I’d ever heard of it.

Some really great riffs and ideas there, and they’re all executed really well too. The layering is also a highlight for me. (and of course the production is on point too – but that’s kind of a given, penguins are always great at doing mixes!

  That’s the fun part for me, its a bit iterative because that changes how I see the material so I change the material and that changes the next mix etc etc it’s a wonder I finish anything at all! (I never consider them finished).

Sounds pretty cool! Quite a creepy gothic atmosphere to it, it’d sound cool with an organ or something. I’d lose the snare though, it’s not adding much.

While you may be familiar with the A side, a cover of Sgt. Pepper me and Holey did in late 2017, the B side is a jazz cover of The So Long Song from Blues Clues. I recorded it using my Fender Stratocaster’s neck pickup with the tone rolled down to make it sound a bit like an organ. Unfortunately, it sounds like an old DOS game from the early 90’s but i still think it turned out pretty well.

My band has finally released what is likely to be our last album, Black Cloud.

Almost 14 months in the making, hopefully the time spent is reflected in the final product!

Enjoy! https://schwarzewolke.bandcamp…..lack-cloud

 

(there ain’t any Beatles covers but there is a George Harrison cover)

  

@The Hole Got Fixed – great stuff, quite an eclectic mix! I didn’t know that anyone even remembered who Gilbert O’Sullivan was. My favorites are Mr. Blue Sky (kind of song I like to dance to), Am I Ever Going To See Your Face Again, and Tangible Feelings (I listen to lots of piano driven sounds). How come you guys are breaking up-no club scene in your town? Also have you already posted a picture of   the band (you guys have a cool band vibe)?
