Hey. After many years of playing, I've come up with something that I consider to be at least temporarily finished. It's relatively short, but very proggy and strange, the way I see it at least. This was recorded at home with some voulenteers (! meaning they're not my band, but friends that helped me out.. and really only the bassist is playing his main instrument). I play guitar myself and some keyboard fills. Forgive the site Soundcloud for messing up the sound quality just a little bit. Hope you like it, and I think I might have come to the right place for some feedback! http://soundcloud.com/amnesic-ostrich/same-thing-after-a-slight-mixfix |

Thanks all, a lot 
Haha yeah.. but I live in Norway, this is the black metal country you know. Not denying though, that I'm playing with the thoughts of setting sail to Sweden in some years perhaps. For now, I have fully functional home recording gear as well as all necessary instruments. Keep up the constructive criticiscm I might get myself to make a fade-in-and-out medley of several of my ideas. |

It's got a very nice and unique jazz-fusion/symphonic prog feel to it. I like it! At some points the music is a little choppy, but that can easily because you're playing all the instruments (or that's what I assume) and that tends to happen. Even in Mike Oldfield's work that happened a bit. I do like the subtle insinuation of the keys behind the guitars, although some of the chords seem a bit off. ------------- http://ow.ly/8ymqg" rel="nofollow">

Hey, thanks for the accurate feedback I only played the guitar myself and some of the keyboard stuff, but it makes sense since the drummer and the keyboard player here actually play guitar and bass, so it's good for a temporary well done recording, but nothing very fancy on the drums. I can imagine some chords sound a bit off before hearing it several times.. they're supposed to be complex or tone-rich. Probably also a matter of taste. Thanks again for listening :) |
