Here are a couple of songs.  I was bored and felt
like recording something.  It’s all very rushed
and unpolished, but I had to finish before work :-p

Waves:  simple little song (with the typical rock middle).

Corn: WARNING IT GETS LOUD AFTER IT STARTS SOFT!
I wanted to try detuning the guitar and bass a bit
to give it a more realistic sound. 
Dunno if it worked or not.

Anyway, enjoy.

wow… great stuff

waves is my fav between the two

you better stop saying all this “simple, unpolished, very rushed stuff"… you’re making me feel bad!

really great stuff… as we as said above
i enjoyed them both with WAVES being my favorite of the two

it is nice of you to share your “BOREDOM with us

After giving a listen to both songs, I concluded rather quickly that “Wave” was the more appealing to me.  Just not a big fan of distorted guitar, I guess.

I really like what you did on “Wave” - starting the guitar out at the right tempo for the song, then introducing what sounds like a synth slowly followed by (Power Standard Kit I think)drums.  Also liked the way you sneaked that electric guitar in soon afterward, “let it go” so to speak before the next verse and “brought it back” after a couple of measures.  Nice job!

The only thing I wasn’t feeling was the use of the cymbals at around the 2:20 mark.  Sounded a little bit cluttered in the mix. But hey… what do I know.  You’re light years ahead of me in song creation.

I’m with you, jmath… I hear stuff like this and I just might take up another hobby (lol).

if this is your bored out effort imagine what can you accomplish with a bit of interest.

i agree with guys Waves is best among both.

i am already a huge fan of your stuff “seduction” is so far something i regard as the best track on motifator.

dude i was listening while typing and had to stop your second song.. guess to hevy for a relaxed morning, sipping tea LOL

great stuff indeed

cheers mate

Hn, jmaths, spald

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. 
lol that is precisely the reason I posted 2 songs on this one thread…
one song was balls to the wall,
dissonance distortion mayhem...so I had to balance it out with something more mellow :-p

Raja:  After giving it a fresh listen, I agree
that the cymbals at 2:20 are fairly abrasive.  On
the custom kit I made, I had to bring the cymbals
down quite a bit, but (you called it) I used the Standard Kit
here for a change.

All the cymbals (including the hihat), in
my opinion are all a little too loud.  It sounds like
I brought out the wrong freqs. on the kit track, too…
making them stand out even more.

I appreciate a comment like that...lets me know what
people’s ears tend to get drawn to in certain pieces.
If your ear got drawn away from the song as a whole
in a bad way (to a crash cymbal, of
all things) then I definitely screwed up somewhere lol.

Thanks guys!  :-p

Hi Jbirds

I do not comment often on songs on mo-song, but this time I make an exception.

I just listened to both songs at my office on so-called very cheap PC speakers and even than both songs sounded great. That alone is already a great achievement. So I wonder how it sounds to-night on my monitor speakers.

I like both songs. I am very impressed about the skills you showed, musically and technically. I did not get the feel however that you were bored, composing those pieces.

The song “Corn” was not boring at all, its very inspiring and did very well as a wake up call. LOL. Saying, get to work to me, make some great songs to-day.

Thanks

Jan

Lovin both these tunes. For me, Waves could have done with a lead guitar over the top.

What guitar sounds did you use for Corn ?? - Shame I don’t have much hair left, I could have had a good head banging session to that one !!!! LOL

Mark.
