Hey guys, After a long holiday absence I return with a new song and a video. The song is called "My Shadow, Cast Upon The Sun", Which I wrote after I read the book "Ring" by Stephen Baxter. It's about the lifespan of an individual named Lieserl, who (basically) is put inside the sun and lives in it for 5,000,000 years. The song has quite a bit of synth in it for me, that came out really cool I think. If you listen to the whole song, I think you will hear a lot of interesting things, I spent a week writing it, and 10 hours on guitars, and 3 days organizing effects. A lot of time and effort is in it, So enjoy! (And please let me know what you think! )
The video is an excerpt from the song, from the beginning to the end of the solo sections. Feel free to comment on my playing as well Here is the youtube link, Better quality than Myspace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJrSuw0iw3k And here are the lyrics: ___________________________ ___________________________ Born into a pre-determined void Grown into a pre-sculpted shell My mind accelerated to its peak My body left to die Deprived of human innocence Suffocated the pleasures of life Incorporeal consciousness Imbued Into the photosphere of Sol Falling through convective cells Swimming through a plasma sea Born to navigate the sun Sleep tightly in its embrace Idle in time, Alone with the flames Swimming to her ascendancy Abandoned and loved Admired and feared Left behind in the wake of time 5,000,000 years Embraced in the sun 5,000,000 years In the sea of flames 5,000,000 years Of consciousness 5,000,000 years Alone Swimming deeper into the sun Away from my humanity Main sequence annihilation The incoming death of Sol Ancient feelings arise Terror, fear, and anxiety The link to my lost Sanity Baryonic lords Pushed to the void Dark matter gods Oppress, Destroy Leaving the home Of 5,000,000 years I must construct The ultimate form SOLOS INSTRUMENTAL SECTION From the fabric of time From the strings of space 10,000 Galactic masses The Ring will rise In the darkness of space Kissing the lips of another Universe In the void of space Welcome me, Singularity From the fabric of time From the strings of space Against the universal expansion The Ring will rise Returning to the heart of stars To my plasmatic sea of flames Sleeping again In the heart of suns 5,000,000 years come to an end 5,000,000 years Embraced in the sun 5,000,000 years In the sea of flames 5,000,000 years Of consciousness 5,000,000 years Alone 5,000,000 years... Embraced in the sun 5,000,000 years... Alone |

Oh god, Thanks man! I have a very simple recording setup. Guitars and Vocals are done through a POD X3 Live, Drums are just acoustica beatcraft with some simple EQ work, and all this is done inside Reaper. Synth is a Roland PC-80 With some standard VSTi's. And yes, I did all the vocals as well Thanks for the compliment! Awesome .. thanks man.. its really good .. like listening to a concept album .. flows through variations But i love your VOCALS ... riffs N drumwork THE BEST !! \m/ This post has been edited by zen: Dec 28 2009, 03:43 AM -------------------- "If the need is deep, you WILL find a way , if it isn't, you'll find some excuse"
