Title: Mississippi Queens in an instrumental "rock" song
Post by: dheim on October 09, 2010, 06:57:49 PM
i don't know exactly how to describe it, hence the quotation marks...
anyway it's a fairly simple instrumental "rock" (:)) track, built around those growing arrangements that i love SOO much...

guitar involved is my Dean Caddy with a MQ calibrated set. amps are all emulated (POD xt), bass is my Cort A5.

i kept tones plain and simple, let me know what you think about the song, production etc... thanks!

well done dheim, i thought it sounded like a band playing, ie not over produced.liked the sound of the lead guitar(the far back echoey one) and liked the percussive triplet thing near the end, this is very effective.

thanks!
as i said i wanted to keep things very straight, and i'm glad it doesn't sound overproduced even if there are up to 5 guitars going at the same time! ;)

Reminds me of the building round simple lines of isis, russian circles et al, but with more of an alt-rock sensibility. I like.

Lovely stuff.

I haven't recorded with my MQs much, but I'd always suspected they'd be good for layering guitars up like this. You've just proved that for me :D.

Well done. I like the layers of guitars in this theme, giving it something melancholic.
