Week 8

Gaia's Throne jams are on! Lots of lyrics were penned for the first song. We're chock-a-bloc full of ideas for the narrative text. It's probably the longest song too, with all the patterns and parts. I like a challenge like this - am now finally delving into experimenting with thoughts in another person's composition.
I eagerly await the completion of this song - we could probably build some buzz with a single soon. Who knows, we might do anything really!

Plans to kickstart a music magazine were running in the backdrop, and last week we saw a considerable rise of public interest in the project. This seems to be promising.

Week 7

Now a part of Gaia's Throne! Check us out here.

Killer new material, lots of neoclassical shred, power metal feel is thrown into a somewhat progressive mold of music. I'm no power metal vocalist :P haha but I shall continue to learn, isn't it? Thinking of providing my own flavour into the mix, something of a Daniel Gildenlow meets Chino Moreno meets Ian Gillian inspired kind of mix in the vocals? Lets see how well that goes. Working on melody ideas for song number one, lets hope all goes well!

Two (and a ghost one) bands now deserve my attention towards them, and its starting to show. Handled a bit of a situation with a late jam after calling in sick earlier in the morning. I will have to kind of back that up with a heightened sense of responsibility at home now probably, so yeah! Hahaha! Welcome to the world of diplomacy!

Still am stuck with some uninspired material that I want to badly change into something good. I hope I can think of something awesome.

That's all for this eventful, and kind of tiresome week.

Week 6

True to myself, I did manage to score an excellent riff idea and get it recorded.

College started and song 2 has just been sketched out, disappointed that I couldn't achieve the original target of 3 demos. Though now I am more determined since the new material is improving my writing and playing even!

Its got a galloping rhythm, but its fit into a slow, thunderously sludgy backdrop and groove drumming. Very potent idea that shall be song 2.

In other news saw the Rolling Stone Metal Awards and was blown away by the performances every band gave. I'd love to play on that stage someday, its seems like the best sounding closed venue I've ever been to. Beats Kyra by a mile! (except for the beer rates. I lau Bengaluru for that wonly.)

Also had great time with buddies in the car-trip. My sense of humour stays terribly pakau, much to my relief I can still make people tear the hair off their head.

More work to follow! Gotta makez dem demoes quick!
