I like this tune, it'd be nice to hear some more.

p.s. If you wanted to continue with that kind of percussion - you could invest in a contact mic. They're really cheap to build yourself, if your competence with a soldering iron is minimal, or, you could buy one for $15 from noisefx.com (appalling advertising there) They would open a whole world of percussive treats for you, plus other ambient textures ect.

Hiya

I quite like this song, it strikes me as something along the same lines as Jose Gonzales. I can picture this kind of track being used for an ad or on a TV programme, and I mean that in a good way. The song definately sets a mood. You have a really good sense of rhythm, the drums and guitar never lose a beat, well done.

I like that you recorded the guitar and vocals on one track and put in a bit of reverb, it really adds to the feel of the song. However, I think you could do with a recording of the vocals overlapping the vocal/guitar line, just to give the vocals a slightly crisper sound, and so the words are a bit clearer. I also think you should consider adding a few more layers towards the end of the song, so that you gather a sense of momentum towards the end, so the sudden finish that you have would be more pronounced.

Cheers

The song is about being pursued by a vampire, so I don't think it's especially suitable for any advert, unless it's a plaster commercial

The idea of overdubbing the vocals is something I'll probably adopt. Thanks for the kind words and suggestions.

No probs. Sorry, I missed any references to vampires in the song, oops :-)

Er,... Could be featured in an ad for garlic? :-)

Ha yeah, that would work also!

I really like this.

[Hogisbald]

Quality stuff man.

Glad to hear someone else making depressing acoustic/ambient music

Added you as a Myspace friend.

[idol_wild]

Thanks so much people. Your myspace request accepted, Hog. Always liked your solo stuff.

New tune up later today (Sunday).

I've added another song.

MySpace.com - Debutant - Aberdeen, UK - Acoustic / Ambient / Shoegaze - www.myspace.com/musicbydebutant

Myspace is weird, there's a small blip in the song about 50 seconds from the end, and then the ending itself is cut short by about ten seconds. Piece of shit.

Anyway, feedback appreciated.

Okay, this has ironed itself out.
