Here's some stuff.
Pretty self-explanatory.

Artdump - September 2, 2015

Most recent recording of a full song, which I wrote 2 or 3 years ago.

Here's some recent artwork to dump in here.

Some smaller music experiements:

Here's some doodles and whatnot.  The painted one was based off a still from the new James Bond movie apparently.

"Freebird (With Purchase Of Bird Of Equal Or Greater Value)," and a drawing.

Here's a song I wrote a couple years ago and recorded over a week or two recently.  Turned out pretty well, I suppose.  Lots of obnoxiously convoluted steam-of-consciousness songwriting going on here.



Here's something I randomly drew in some downtime.

Here's some music stuff I've done lately:

------------------------------------------



Re-recorded from a comparatively terrible version I did a while back: https://soundcloud.com/ryanimation/nopeth-updated

It's styled after Opeth, especially the start.  I kinda just ripped the drum parts at the start straight from Leper Affinity.  Shhhhhhhhh.

------------------------------------------



A little experiment.  I got inspired by this part of this song:
https://youtu.be/71Ag2LmMDHU?t=202

Turned out more of a rock-y vibe than this song in the end though.  I had 7 guitar tracks at once at a point on this one.  2 main guitars, and 5 layered doing the weird staggered part at the end.

------------------------------------------



A little jam thing with some funk and fusion sounds to it.  Basically I just came up with a nice bass line using some harmonics and went from there.

Brainstorm sketches

Might use this character for something way down the line, just playing around with it for now.  Buncha rough sketches.

Giving up the pretense of clever titles.  Again.

Here's some doodles.

Music, doodles, you know the drill.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I made this song after listening to bands like Lantlos and Alcest lately, kinda heavy post-rock/metal.  I tried out some vocal stuff at the end, for better or for worse.  This is the first track where I'm using EZDrummer for drums.  The rest (guitar/bass/vocals) is all me.

I done drew some peoples.

And here's a link to my soundcloud where I recently did a little design so I'm not stuck with the default image.

Here's another little thing I did in some off-time.
