The Manimal's Music

[Manimal]

Siigghh...I despise my voice sometimes, of course it's the lack of real vocal melodies that make it so bad but my vocal tone in general is heinous. Ah well, nothing to do about that. "MJ.DiNK".

Also a remix of "We're Rolling" re-titled "Satellite Hacksaw".

I got to cut this set off as an EP, end it before it gets too much. I want to start new and make some better tunes, I was just dinking around here but this is only going downward.

[50 Words for Paipis]

I liked the noise stuff, but it'd be good to offset it with some tunes. Mainly cause you like stuff other than noise rock too.

[Manimal]

Ya, I mean noise is so fun and all, and I was pretty satisfied with "Theme for Manimal in Wonderland", but I just did those songs out of frustration really. Because "if I can't make good songs I can make the dumbest". I just want to wrap that up and start again.

I want to take in all I like, especially J Pop stuff, but that's way beyond my abilities and my voice is a major issue. All I'm good at is slamming like Malcolm Young and sloppily running like Ace Frehley, I've cemented myself in a limited place and I hope I can get out of that soon enough but like, that's my honest expression. I'm just going to keep churning 'em out and hope to get good somewhere in the process. Now that recording songs has become a routine of sorts I've forgot the "try" part.

[Manimal]

This isn't a new song but I detached the Freak Con bit from "Flies On Broadway" and remixed it.

I feel this is my best piece, besides "White Bread" of course. Not in terms of performances, my vocal is off, there's a mistake near the end with the second guitar and the drums are weak but there my best lyrics so far. I buried the meaning in over description. So for those who didn't want to suffer the 13 minutes of Flies this is the best part. "Freak Con (Bye Bye)".

I felt inspired by the Stones cover album to do...whatever this is. "Theme For Being Radical (Or Not) Part II" I guess. Just a typical blues structure with instinct soloing. A fat mess of I dunno. Just doing whatever I feel like now. In some regards I feel like I've done everything I can do by myself at this point, but this is my only option so...whatever. Anyways, "Theme For Consuming Cement".

Learn keys bruh. At least the notes. Then you can do MIDI stuff.

[Manimal]

I mean ya I would if it was that easy. I'd certainly be a good idea if I can suddenly find the patience to do so. I have a clear vision of what I'd like to do and it's most definitely not what I do. I enjoy the process of making songs and the feeling of completing them so I want to do so much, same with art. That's what I do. I'd rather have Buckethead's output then Metallica's. I'm not going to work on something for too long. It's not my nature. I've just gotten so bad in this last month that I'm really starting to not care what I make as long as it's something.

Ugh ugly rant. Anyways yes I'd be a good idea and I'm sure it's not as hard as I think, I just have to make music that fits that stuff. Make you know...melodies.

'ere








Print 'em out and pin them to the wall in your room or wherever you record stuff. It'll help.

[Manimal]

That looks helpful, I'll do that. I never know where I can solo. One time I asked someone, like which positions can I do for like A he's like "there's no rules do whatever", so I've been following that principal. It doesn't really work you know.

I think I should try covers or something, maybe that will help me get out of this mess. I sort of have a desire to do a Katy Perry cover EP, like song off her first album, but um...I'm me so I dunno  'bout that. We'll see. I'm doing 12 little tunes for the 12 Days on the Happy Hour. Fricking that song goes to 3/3 randomly and then back, what the hell why is it so impossible to drum. Get outta here. Then fricking The First Noel is in 3/3 to. Ah! It's so hard to not think in 4/4 it's just feels correct and natural.

[Manimal]

Re-record of "Wizardology". The original has awful second and third verse lyrics and the structure needed some fixing up. Plus, like everything, faster=better. I could not mix this right, the drums are brutal. Smashing on the china the whole time just wrecks everything, but that's the best beat to play on it. Terrible, awful, horrific mix, but a better recording atleast. Expect for the drums, I just can't figure that out. There is no recording good drums with a Rock Band mic, but I have no choice.

Likely my worst vocal to date, but again the singing is there cause it has to be. "From There To Where"

https://soundcloud.com/deepspacenoise/from-there-to-where

Re-record of "Popcorn". It needed to be fixed, the choruses sounded like they where falling apart. Plus the guitars have no jive and the second channel was just random. I was going for Ac/Dc vibes here, it's what I do best so I needed to try again. Mixing was a nightmare, the first cut was awful, even this the drums just kill it. The bass was fun to record but it sounds so off. I found out it was half a step down for a lot of songs before...I just never noticed because it's just the bass right? Nah, gotta work on that. The drums are just...ugh. No.

I want to make something as ass kicking as "Scentless Apprentice" but I'm me so "Alex Troubleback".

[Manimal]

Something like part 2 to "From There to Where" or like...part 1. The Sprawl was running in my head when I wrote the lyrics so it came through a bit. Debuting my Telecaster as well. "After School Me Time".

[Forlorn Serpent]

I just listened the last few that are still available to hear. I don't knew much about music genres. I don't listen to music, much. I as I listened, I had trouble understanding what was going on.  I guess it was too punk for me.

Especially due to the last track, do you ever create scores or soundtracks, whatever they are called. You know, ust background music to establish mood? Just curious.
