I thought I would start a thread for anyone who wants to post their 'Original Music' for all of us to hear. I think this should be a fun topic for all of us to enjoy. Don't be bashful, let us hear your stuff!!! I'll start: My Originals (a few)

I am getting a page not found on this link

You can hear some of the same at the new TRF Musicians Page Located Here   BTW, as soon as more members take advantage of this Free Service, I will really design a serious web page. This is just a trial.

Well, here's some demos that I haven't really decided what I'm going to do with.  They're from the tail end of my harder metal phase, and when I was more a lead guitarist that can play bass.  Now, I am pretty good at both.  Anyway, here's a few selections, but feel free to click on the main artist page to see the rest of what I have. Black Rain The Power to End it All Pariah

Does tepes still post here? Going on four years since I first heard these tracks, I still find myself humming "Black Rain" and "Pariah" on occasion.

Hey, good to see you physics!   Not sure how regularly tepes logs in here, but he was here today since you posted this.

This is the first song of the new album I'm working on with my buddy Max.

 

The album is called "Sky Castle" and is based on a short story Max wrote.

 

This song is called "Overture (As Simple as Life Can Be)"

[Wilderness_of_Mirrors]

Tarkus, sounds good!

 

i love the synth in the beginning.....hard to hear the vocals though

I'm digging it. Good use of 7/4 (or 7/8), good synth sounds, and I like when the guitar comes in. I agree that the vocals are too low in the mix.

 

I do think the intro goes on for a bit too long. The main chord progression is a good one, but you keep repeating it, and IMO the song gets a little repetitive after a while.

 

And the lack of drums or percussion keeps this track from really taking off (again, IMO). Very few non-acoustic songs can go seven minutes with no drums and keep your full interest -- Pink Floyd's "Welcome To The Machine" being a good example.

 

Again, those are just opinions. Don't take them as me saying you did it wrong -- there's no such thing as "wrong" in music except for obviously wrong notes, and sometimes wrong notes are right too.

 

Don't take those opinions too harshly. This IS very good work, and you show good prog instincts.

But yes, I agree with you about the intro being long. I'm also not too great at mixing and I found it hard to make all the tracks sound good together. I think a lot of the problem is the distortion I have on the guitar. Very muddy and not clear enough. But that's KORG effects for ya..   I bought a book for the program Im using (Cakewalk Sonar) and its teaching me how to utilize every part of the software; from recording MIDI and audio to the final mix and production. There will definately be a re-make of this song as I haven't even finished writing the album yet   It should sound better when everything's all done though. I'll post.   Thanks for the comments, man

Whispers In The Dark

 

 

Eight Tons Of Ugly

Personally I think the vocals need to be a bit louder in the mix, they are drowned out abit.
