Never purchased a house or car before but recently started to pay for the most expensive item I personally will ever possess as of late

I was scrolling through my music the other day, and ended up eyeballing my Doors albums. Played a couple tracks. I really like the guitar in Light My Fire, and the Rhodes in Riders on the Storm. I was gonna post it to this thread, but it didn't fall into my eyes, so I didn't bother hunting it down. I'll post it now. Fantastic tune, and some nice mellow Rhodes vibes...

It will sound better with a normal audio interface. I think my interface's preamp is bad or something. Sounds better when I plug it directly into the piano rather than into the interface input but I can't record on my PC without an interface so this will do for now.


Maybe I do rhodes in next one.

Ohman… Ray Manzarak was a keyboard wizard!!

Riders on the Storm is my ‘laying in bed just about to fall asleep’ song that I play through the VA speaker. Half the time I never get all the way through it. Lol

Since I badgered Naer about posting a clip, I figured fair's fair and recorded some of my experimentation last night. Just got a basic drum machine and was working out how to get the chain from it to my sequencer to my synthesizer going (the Gaia doesn't have a real sequencer, just a phrase recorder that I don't like). Then I figured I've got everything plugged in, might as well have some fun. So I programmed in a basic beat on the drum machine, did a simple rhythm on the sequencer, then hit go.
This definitely won't be appealing to everyone's ears, I'm aiming for an industrial/synthpunk kind of thing. That and I make quite a lot of mistakes given it was an improv session (just playing with myself :p). Recorded room audio with a Zoom Q2n-4k, so the string/pick noise from guitar-strumming is a bit loud too.

Love it! Love you too!!

I saw this band open for MV & Deftones last week:

Thanks :)
Nice :cool: I'm playing keys for a... no-wave psychedelic noise punk band? IDK, I can send you a link once we record something, still early days.

You know, I don't know what I think of that. There's parts I like, and parts I don't, but the 80s and synthpop are real low on my list of genres I enjoy, so I'm not a great judge. I do love that it's you making the music though. Nice job, and I really dig the Utilikilt and hair!

Hey, if you liked parts of it in spite of the extreme synthy-80s-ness of it, that's something :)
The drum machine itself is hard 80s, it's a clone of the Roland 606 that came out in 1981, and the rhythm synth is a modern(ish) take on the Roland SH-101 that came out in 1982.
