Battle of the Gorgons

[Huggy Love]

Being cooped up in the house is making me crazy, I feel like a snarling beast in a cage, it's even coming out in my music. ........

So...

OK all you Fusion, Prog Rock, Sci-Fi fans, prepare yourselves for a spine tingling, bone jarring, teeth rattling, ride on a musical monstrosity of epic proportions, and quite possibly one of the strangest songs you'll hear in a while.

Behold the madness that is the Battle of the Gorgons.

Diggin' it! Nicely done sir.

 

[Glide-bpm]

I keep waiting for Hiyata to show up with the Beta Capsule........... aCk!!!

Coolio!

 

[veinbuster]

Too good.
I always like listening to you.

 

[goat-n-gitter]

Very cool! Reminded me a bit of some of the Jeff Beck with Jan Hammer stuff!

 

[Deleted member 5962]

Good job, T!

 

[bodia]

Sh!t, T, that's some good stuff!

 

[dmatthews]

Sh!t, T, that's some good stuff!

Sh!t T?11??
I thought it was pretty good!

 

[RickP]

Sounds good to me! Digging the bass lines too!

THX, funny you mention him, my next song is a tribute to Jeff. One of the few players I wish would have picked up a PRS.

.... and FYI, all the synth parts are done on my HB SC.

 

[jxe]

sounds like 90s chaz fusion to me, well done.

Ha! Ha!

 

[Huggy Love]

Ha! Ha!

Yea, I caught that too. He clearly doesn't understand that "Sh!t T!!" translates to "Oh my goodness Sir" in street language.

It makes it really hard to get to San Jose.

 

[dmatthews]

It makes it really hard to get to San Jose.

I did it once, so I know the way...

 

[Alnus Rubra]

It has tastes like of Carlos and Jamiroquai n there as well. For me that is.

Nice one Huggy!

Good to hear Bodia laughing at the end!

Okay, now THAT is how you announce a song!

Great job!! That was a very fun listen. It can be difficult to keep an instrumental moving forward for a full 4 minutes, but you have so many different tones I was always curious what was going to happen next.

What's your recording setup? What do you use for drums?

THX so much!!!

Setup:
2 PRS HBs
Logic Pro X
Fishman TriplePlay controller
Mesa Mark V
An old POD 2.0

Between the midi tones in Logic, my Mark V, and the POD, I can cover a lot of ground. The beats are usually half Logic loops and ad-libs I trigger with the Tripleplay, but some tunes I program all the drums if the song requires a very specific tailored approach to produce the drum performance I envision for the song.

TBH, getting a lot of varied tones is pretty easy on these instruments, keeping it fresh and interesting on the fretboard... ... that's the real challenge.

I have a TriplePLay strat (the TriplePlay is built-in to the guitar), but I rarely use it. I'm curious how you use your setup. Mine doesn't track very well despite all of my adjustment attempts.
