Riding the train (original music)

in dtube •  6 years ago 


Just a tune i thought up while i was bored riding a slow train out to the suburbs. I captured some timelapse video and audio on my phone then recorded my musicman bass, g&l asat and comanche to a 120bpm standard drum kit. The bass was recorded clean then amped with guitar rig. Guitars were recorded via my axe fx with delay set to match the bpm of the song so i could get synced delay trails.

As I just listen to this, immediately the track hits like a train running on time in Italy. Already the music starts to do the lil' twirls as the guitars take center stage (those techno-beats in the background compliment the leading instrument). I can feel the guitar muses flying to the air and the song coming to life; just like riding a train and seeing the sights outside: concrete and nature's jungles. The active liveliness of the sights coupled with the train tracks with the occasional bumps are echoed well in the guitar fingering alone; yet the pounds of the drums and the techno does help very well as they service the guitar(s).

To parallel this to a Video Game, this is very well for probably like a crazy train scene, transitioning from one stage to another on a train stage, cutscenes on a train or, Heck, even a fullblown chapter background music involving trains. Very rock-like, multitudes of passion here my dear anon. So would prefer commuting trains to have music like this, would make the commutes feel more alive and the scenes even more bouncy!~ (Also did I mention we get to hear train noises at the end? :P)

So keep on jamming, keep on riding the commutes and happy steeming!

Wow thanks for listening and the full detailed description. Chicago is sort of similar to italy in ways. 😃

Only a true Chicagoan, me, would know how true that statement is (I only mentioned Italy due to friends being from there); know it all too well. Anywho, dunno how the trains are nowadays for Chicago but I do miss the rush the areas had.

Dude, that's great, wonderful, awesome! Such a cool track in post-punk style. Very atmospheric! I immediately remembered the group Joy Division.

Thanks 😄, i need to look into the post punk style a bit more and listen to some joy division. This song was built around the bass riff tune getting stuck in my head.

This is the best post today so far, amazing! I love the music and the video too. The music reminds me of Joe Satriani. I'm pretty sure I don't have to tell you who he is :) I like the video featuring you with three different guitars, it's fantastic! I'm bookmarking your post because I'm sure I'll be back to listen to this song very often :)

I definitely have all of satriani's albums. I even saw him in concert with ynwie malmstein and steve vai, though steve vai seemed to be the highlight of the show ynwie was the opener. Thanks for listening i wish i was as good at guitar as satriani :-).

Yes, the famous trio that makes the roof blow off :) I love all three of them and you're lucky to have seen them live. Maybe one day I'll have the pleasure too. I know you don't believe me but you are a master of the guitar!

Tried learning bass guitar a while ago, but seems I'm not good at it so I gave up. Loving your tunes

What kind of bass did you have? Sometimes its the type of guitar that makes learning hard, ie if the action is super high or the frets are not intonated.

Not sure I know the difference. It belonged to a friend, but we don't keep in touch no more.
