Joining the fray again with a 4 part big proggy piece in the vein of early-to-mid 70s Genesis, Yes and Pink Floyd. The song is called "Gemini" and its about the estrangement and dissolution of the twins and what their existence afterwards might be like. Its meant to be an allegory for what's going on in this country where so many of our constituent citizens are actively working to sever the ties that bind us.
This one is different for me as I wrote lyrics and I'm giving singing a go (I suck). I've got the lyrics and piano composition done end to end, and things laid out with scratch piano, vocals and drums. @sidis is going to give me a better piano track throughout (though I imagine some of it shifts to organs or synths) and a drummer friend is going to let me kick the AI drummer to the curb. I've already laid the bass throughout. Now I'm going back and fleshing out each part/verse. I don't know whether I am going to be able to pull off the vocals I want to hear, so I may enlist help there at some point.
Anyway, things are coming together for the first part/verse after adding some acoustic guitar and a solo to close it out, so I figure I'd share. There is no real mixing done here yet, though I have thrown some EQ and effects on some of the tracks. @jimmyjazz you might be interested in the vocal recording, as its the first thing I've recorded with your mic recommendation -- the Lauten LA-220. I don't really know what I am doing as far as working with mics and recording vocals, so if it sucks, that is probably why.
Any thoughts/feedback appreciated.
