Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.

Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.

That’s awesome Base!!! Metal version of a childhood bedtime ritual. The world never ceases to amaze!
My Dad had another bedtime trick where he’d “blow the lights out” by blowin just as he hit the switch.
We thought he could really blow the lights out.

epic band @tbb, and mirror to society.. vocal twang of the Aṉangu.
They were writing this the same time radio birdman were playing the marryatville. what a companion piece redgum's above song is to contextualise that gig... the lone star circuit and ray dyett in the late 70s: Jojo Zepp, early Mondo Rock, Sports, Birdman.. they'd come for a week and play 6 gigs: 2 at the marryatville, 1 anzac hwy, 1 at the tivoli.. couple others.. epic.. before my time, but a direct link to the seacliff/holdy/glenelgSC scene we X-ers lapped up:

keep an eye out for the Adelaide Peter and the Test Tube Babies show, Daz from flat cap productions was there filming, we all thought the gig was great, but apparently Bywaters stormed off after the gig, cos of the sound..?

Hi all,
I hope everyone is getting their fill of musical vibes.
If you want to listen to something a little left of center, Crazy, different..... then check out my original songs on Spotify Band Name -Protention [Link Below] or alternatively on Youtube
They are not super professional as they are written, played, recorded and mixed by me [I already have a proper day job..lol} but they include a heart and soul and will take you to some places you haven't been yet.
Feel free to let me know what you think of them, either positive or negative. I have done most of this in my cave so it would be nice to see what the world out there thinks of them.

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.
I'm glad you found a way to categorize the musical styles much better than I could. People ask me what sort of music I write and I just tell them " Ummm Different, crazy, odd?" lol
I love ALL styles of music so I have a lot of influences running around me head, and I don't try and make anything fit into a box. The result is a rather odd and eccentric mix of music that flows out of my head.

that's clear, the eclectic 'go with your tastes' thing, but I like how it's not ovelayed to all hell like the cave can drive a man to do, there's a clear palette. Are you a drummer first and then guitar and other things?

I think it's not too "overlayered" more because I don't have the patience to go to those lengths. I'm more inspired by writing new songs than finishing the ones I've started.

I started playing guitar about 30 years ago and got into home recording etc around 20 years ago as I really enjoyed the creative process of song/ideas writing. I learnt to program drums and keyboards, samples through this process.
Played with some garage bands over the years and found there was always too many guitarists so I started playing bass and fell in love with that as that's my main instrument now. You can probably hear the songs are heavy with bass rhythms as that's where most of my songs start these days. I started to play drums about 3 years ago and find I almost love that more than Bass and guitar these days. I only started singing 2 years ago as well, hence my sub-quality vocals. So many things still to learn.
Mixing and recording I've done for a long time but only at a simple level. I jumped into the deep-end with mixing songs a lot lately and am slowly getting better at that.

You can probably hear quite a few mistakes in these songs as most are live improvisations with a few clean ups and over dubs. I love the sound and feel of music that finds it's own direction and just following where it takes you.

basesix Tuesday, 3 Dec 2024 at 4:10pm

exactly the kind of well-made home studio recordings I enjoy, yeh, you can hear the bass is the catalyst for each new idea/section. nice one, mate. I'll get out the way and let your original post do the talking : )
