Hi all,
Songs come about for various reasons…. a cool beat, discovered vibe, guitar riff (or whatever you play), new instrument or maybe some new gear for the studio setup.
This song came to be based on a tragic event that happened back in June about 15 mins from where I live. A 20-yr dude decided to randomly target & mow down a Muslim family with his pickup truck, killing 4 of 5 people across 3 generations and leaving a 9-yr boy with no family left. This song was written & recorded a few days after the event.
I decided to revisit, polish with some newer offerings and share.
IK Stuff:
MODO Drum - Grungy kit
AT5 - melody in the middle of song, using “Deutschland (German 34)” and first time using the software version of X-Gear pedals (X-Vibe and X-Time for the reversed guitars at the end of the song)
ST4 - various presets from Fractured Piano, Shipwreck Piano; Brandenburg Piano
SampleTron - “Chuck Tron off the Roof” preset
Philharmonik 2 - violin, viola, cello, double bass
TR5 - Mixbox, Space Delay, White 2A, Sunset Sound (ISO, Chamber, Live), FAME (Studio A, plate), Stealth Limiter
Take care of yourself and others…hope the message outweighs the music in this case.
Michael
