Sugar Electric (new John P track!!)

Hey guys.

I finally finished my EP, entitled "Hologram". You can find it at the following location: http://www.freewebs.com/j...oMusic.htm

There's a new track on there, a guitar, bass and drums instrumental called "Sugar Electric".

http://www.freewebs.com/j...ectric.mp3

(right click and "save target as" to download)

This is the track I'd like you guys to comment on most as it's the newest thing on there. The rest of the songs you've probably heard, but they've been mastered and edited so you might find something of interest there, too.

Check it out!

peace

.

I tried to download it but I think that the freewebs.com bandwith is too low. Do you have it available at soundclick by chance?

PEACE!

The download process was a bit long (only 1.00kb/sec eek ) but it was worth it! Your guitar work was awesome. It reminded me of a track from N.E.W.S. a bit. The paradox of the guitar and drums heaviness versus the whole tracks sparseness gave it the "rawness" that separates real "artists" from over manufactured pop "entertainers". Very cool! cool

Okay, for those who it takes too long to download, find it at my soundclick page....even though I hate 128kbps quality!! mad

Trust me, it sounds way better with the download, but here's the soundlick link:

Niiice drum programming, when that beat came on I was like "hell yeah.." U even threw the Linn stick in there in all of it.
Great playing man. I only complain is that it sounded TERRIBLE IN 128KB!!! LOL Just kiddin! It sounded clear enuff 4 me. The only thing I didnt like was that it faded out at the end! Shudda kept the guitar playing with the drums going out and then it ends witht he guitar going, "errrrr..." then u drop it and u walking out the door thumbs up!

This was very cool and the beats were experimental / jungle drum & bass. I liked that the best.

Ok your turn on mine wink

I like the concept.

Was looking for some type of chordal or rhythmic variation to give you more to solo off of.
Or maybe a definite motif or theme to base the solo around.
It almost sounds as if this is the middle section of a larger composition.

What's the guitar rig being used?

Btw, there is something to what people have been telling you about listening to things off of your site.
I had attempted to hear this piece a few times without success before you ul'd it to soundclick.

I also couldn't get this off of the other site. I had no problem off of the soudnclick link. This is a cool "part" to insert into the middle of another tune. I'm not sure if you meant it to stand on it's own or if it was just you jammin' out. It's kind of like "The End" by the Beatles. It'd be really cool if it was DUELING guitar solos panned to each speaker! Is there any bass in there? If not get that bottom end in there as well. Nice work!

I like it. It sounds like soundtrack music. The soundtrack to what, I don't know. But it's very cinematic.

There is deliberately no ostinato or motif to solo off because this is a short piece to segue between two songs on my demo/EP.

It kinda is. It is an instrumental segue of sorts between two other songs with lyrics.


What's the guitar rig being used?


Les Paul "The Paul" with Zoom 4040 Effects, direct into computer.


Btw, there is something to what people have been telling you about listening to things off of your site.

Yeah, I realise that now. For some reason freewebs downloads EXTREMELY slow. I will ask them why that is and may have to move to another site if it continues.

Thanks for the comments!

Yeah, as I've been saying to theaudience, it fits quite neatly between two other tracks as a sort of segue and instrumental relief from the rest of the songs with lyrics.


Is there any bass in there? If not get that bottom end in there as well. Nice work!


Yeah, there's definitely bass in there, though it's not live. It's a repeated two note riff throughout, programmed in fruityloops. Turn up your bass and its definitely there.

Thanks for the comments. smile

Yeah, it was originally longer, but it was actually much TOO long, so I decided to fade it at just the right moment so as it would be just long enough and just short enough to be a segue between two other songs on the demo.


This was very cool and the beats were experimental / jungle drum & bass. I liked that the best.


Yeah, I was kind of going for that with the drums and bass.

Thanks! smile
