I haven’t posted anything in a minute, as we all know our time is rarely our own…did mange to write and record this

Great drive on this one, right out of the gates. It’s… Dare I say… Catchy?
And beyond that, it’s just plain cool.

Tokyo_Rat · July 17, 2021, 9:19pm

thank you! Catchy is good! I had a friend say its like a sweater that your unsure of until someone compliments it, then you wear it all the time…LOL

Nice job @Tokyo_Rat ,
Loved the distortion on the guitar
Still your signature sounds
Cheers Brian

Another great composition Larry! I would agree with ‘catchy’.

Tokyo_Rat · July 18, 2021, 1:04am

thanks Brian, I went through a ton of pedals looking for that sound…I had it in my ear and nothing else sounded right until I found it and just when I got ready to record thought, “this needs a flanger”…LOL the rhythm track is done with a VooDoo Labs overdrive I bought about 20 yrs ago and had never put it to use…the lead track is a EHX soulfood with a touch of delay.

Thanks Jerry, I had recorded a funk tune and was looking for lyrics and “she hits the streets” and “I wanna wear your skin” got into my brain so I shelved the funk and wrote this instead. Pretty happy with how it turned out, but I think I could have pulled back the vocals a bit more into the mix.

My first time using an autowah…used it and then recorded another track and mixed them together…I realize this is the equivalent of just putting my toe in the water but it is what it is

JerryP · July 25, 2021, 12:53am

Great job Larry! Enjoyed it a lot.

Tokyo_Rat · July 25, 2021, 1:07am

thanks Jerry, this one came together pretty quick…i liked the bass line and its simple and it has a nice groove about it glad I could finally do something with it

Tokyo_Rat · July 25, 2021, 2:08pm

Something a little more visual…

JerryP · July 25, 2021, 8:46pm

Sounded good the second time as well. BTW, that first scene made me click the “full screen” button.

Tokyo_Rat · July 25, 2021, 8:47pm

you always want a strong opening!

JerryP · July 25, 2021, 8:55pm

LOL
