musicians?

[:Wreath:]

^ well if nobody likes it then you won't have many opportunities to play it live I guess

I am very confident in the music i make... and the guys in the band are great musicians...i feel that we have dynamic and groundbreaking material. we have about an hour and a half ready, written within 4 years... but i´m planning on something big, so it will still take awhile... my idea is to make a 3 cd concept album...i´m working on an epic story to it ... but it is very far away from now...and nothing more than a dream untill we start recording it...

music is something i totally make for my self... the mood i am in can be heard through the music, i´m sure that you know the feeling of when you just want to be isolated in a place of creativity and keep writing. I have put about 4 hours every day since i started writing in some way to my music,
i am pretty much obsessed.

Even though i feel all this, i am hoping music to be my fulltime job... and therefore it would be nice if people liked it

so succes for me is pretty much to get labeled, to succeed with what i´m planning...and make a living of it, so that i can do nothing but music

^Do you have anything ready for us to listen to? You kind of made me curious.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

yes, yes, maybe? (i don't expect to ever get even remotely rich off the music I make, but there are people who enjoy it, and thats enough for me)

btw, heres my music myspace page: www.myspace.com/oldriverroad

Its very isis-like. Don't mind the shitty vocals either

^not bad, but kind of boring and been done a little too much. I'm digging the lead guitar effects and overall atmosphere. Just needs more dynamics or perhaps more energy so I don't get bored and fall asleep.

good point. atm we're turning down more shows than we're able to play...people don't choose dates that work very well for us. living 200+ miles from any type of metal scene is quite a hinderance as well. We'd be way better off playing punk or country.

Well I'm not going for all out energy really... I guess I'm kinda going for music thats better to lay down and listen to then headbang. And its defintely not totally origional, but I don't think I'm taking anything from just one band. I'll have to upload some full songs, maybe that will give you a different opinion, as a couple songs on there are only about half of the full thing (Untitled 16 is actually about 16 minutes long). And thank you for the input!

Heres a full version of the newest song I recorded a few weeks ago.

no, i wish i had... i have everything written down, and amateurly recorded in pieces... we have a couple of rehearsal recordings at the guitarists place, but nothing good enough to share... but as soon as we get a good recording from somewhere, i will put it up here.

im a naval architect and plan to earn my living from this profession for the rest of my life. thats that

but i also have my own band... we started writing songs (in turkish) past summer. mellow, laid back material. could be compared to nick cave, nick drake, leonard cohen, songshia. we plan to write a few tracks with heavy guitars too. we'll see

my own personal idea of "success" is putting out an album. thats it. i dont care if i make any money or not. therefore, this allows me to write stuff i like and have faith on, not stuff for others to like.

 

[Koi]

good point there... i also write music totally for my self...but it would be a nice + in the corner if people liked it

 

[Don Corleone]

the intellectual thrill of appreciation is, of course, incomparable. i would like that, too. i've been thinking about that lately, too...what kind of an appreciation would i prefer? album sales above thousands, millions or some really good feedback and reviews from people in art and people whom i admired musically?

i can confidently say i would be happier with the second outcome.

Don, that picture tells me one thing: you are a ladies man!

[Koi]

biggsy: i hope you´re a lady

 

[Koi]

Don corleone: yup, you separated those nice and clearly... the second for me to

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

yes, yes, maybe but probably not

 

[Don Corleone]

i am flattered, thank you.
