Hi guys (and gals),

Been noodling lately and managed to piece together a short little diddy.

He Saw A Shimmering Light



There's something about this tune that I like. It doesn't really follow the typical song structure but rather just sort of flows from one idea to another. It's not overly long so it won't take up much of your time if you choose to listen.

=)

Cool tune, Kevin!

Really cool, Kevin! It flows brilliantly and keeps my attention from start to finish. I could listen to stuff like this for hours.

Mixing quality is fantastic as well.

Get a cd full of stuff like this and I would buy it.

Thanks you guys for listening. More and more I find myself going off the musical deep end on tangents that sometimes work and sometimes don't. It's a musical crap shoot..LOL.

Bryan, if you liked that one, check out this one



It is stylistically similar and also draws on the crap shoot mentality. Not sure if it was a success or not, but I liked creating it.

That's an easy listen for sure, and nicely mixed too.

Cool man.

How did you record it?

Hey Jon,

I run guitar and bass straight into a Line 6 Guitar Port, then USB to the computer. For recording and mixing I use Sony Acid Pro 5.0

Drums are EZ Drummer by Toontracks or loops...whichever fits the moment. The rest of the sounds are loops I've acquired.

I really liked the song up to 1:45 or thereabouts. The second part of the song doesn't belong there because it's too estranged from the first half. It's like mixing Be Bop a Lula with Michelle Ma Belle.
