Okay, close to finishing the album which includes remixing/mastering the original 6.
this is a work in progress but ive spent the last 2 days dicking around with this and having fun. New track that will be on the album and wanted SOMETHING to go along with it. Had to turn to AI unfortunately.
Wicked. Totally into the moodiness of the track.
Thanks wease! My wife is super into 80's cheesy synth music. Retro stuff. We started listening to this dj "timecop1983" who makes a lot of stuff like that. I loved it and wanted to try my hand at it. Super thrilled!
Looks like wease is our biggest fan. Well come to you and setup a show!
Can I sit in?

Bury, what are your thoughts on utilizing AI? Totally against it or fine with it utilizing it as a springboard and in connection with ?

Love the main riff and the bridge has a cool vibe with the programmed drums coming in. Lately I've been revisiting a bunch of late-90s alt rock that incorporates this contrast, and I'm a big fan of it.

Thanks ES. 90's alt rock - Right in my wheelhouse. Maybe haven't evolved past it lol

I'm kinda neutral about it. Might be useful, might be terrible. But I play around with it to see what I can do with it.
But hoooo boy do other artists despise it! Can't post anything with AI without the claws coming out. I think they are ridiculous.

Really dig the main riff. And the bridge. Really the only thing I didn’t like was the drums going double-time at the end. I would’ve preferred the snare-on-every-beat pattern instead. Overall, tho, a solid track. Kudos

I've dealt with those folks. The guy who did the main artwork for the single is one of them. I can appreciate it. He appreciated that i took AI as a springboard and utilized some of our own stuff though.

Add it to your playlists, fuckers. And your parents playlist. Yay for 40 year old suburban white dudes!
Also, while im here, did you guys know our very own Lament released an awesome/sexy song? Its the better of the two which isn't surprising because he's cooler than everyone here.
I love this one.
