Months. Months have passed since I released a new track as I've been busy watching anime and cataloging the anime that I have watched. I also did some animated text for a tv commercial about recycling. That Cube video from the last blog did really well too, but whatever, it's time to listen to a new track!

I'm flexing my indie rock muscles this time, with some bouncy guitars and toy instruments on top of a slammin' 4/4 drum beat. That happens later in the track though. Before that, we dive into a nice bed of ambient guitars, commodore 64 noises, and music box melodies in a 3/4 time signature.

There's a lot of stuff going on in this track, it goes places.

Check it out:

edit:

OH! And I totally forgot to mention that I started up a secondary Youtube channel for featuring my older music tracks that never made it onto my main channel. Old stuff, unreleased stuff, alternate mixes, demo versions, joke songs, etc. It's all going onto the Hamster Alliance Music Archive.

Check it out: THA Music Archive

Enjoy!

Nice! Get a bit of an Assassin's Creed vibe from the first half. Gets real fun when it picks up.

So hey, do you actually play the guitar and drums and such or is it all digital? I've made some songs in the past, just screwing around, and always wondered if that was feasible.

Also I kinda liked the flub sound xD.

@theht: Thanks! The instruments in this are all digital, sequenced in Reaper with the Native Instruments Kontakt sampler. The drums are the NI Abbey Road Modern Drummer library and the guitars are the Impact Soundworks Archtop and Shreddage 2 libraries. The piano is NI's The Giant.
