Dan Barracuda: Inside A Musician's Mind

Tried some different chords on this one. It's nice a short - made it for IG and FB. I did it fairly quickly, especially the mixing. It sounds nice and cohesive though - the slide guitar is cool, and I like the basslines!

Hey guys, sharing 3 snippets from the album - they are just short clips/teasers with isolated tracks! They're really fun to edit and create, let me know which one you dig the most :D

In this episode I talk what I do to make ends meet, and in order to give myself enough time every week to work on my shit. It all depends on what you want to do, but TIME is the key asset here. Do shit you love, and make things work around it. There are necessities - money for your home, bills, food, etc. And then there are luxuries... find out what you really NEED. 

Happy Monday guys - let's kick things off with this little soft, dark riff. I think it'd work well in an artsy film or something. Can you guess the time signature?

Check out these 2 ideas I produced clips out of. What I've been doing is importing the original iPhone recording of the conception of the idea onto ProTools, adding midi drums/bass/electric/other instruments, making a video out of it, and posting it on my channels. It's been such a blast guys. Thanks for listening :D 

Check this one out guys - cool little song I made with my amazing musician-friend John Tyler Kent. He plays Chapman Stick, Guitar, and Bass exceptionally well. We produced this song together. It's not mastered, and only partially mixed. But it's coo! Still a work in progress, just wanted to share it with you guys because I'm really excited about it. 

Just ranting about something here. I think it's becoming my biggest pet peeve: poor communication - mainly when it comes to delivering something you say you're going to deliver. If you say you're going to do something, and then you can no longer do it - that's fine! Just please TELL me. Nah mean? Damn. Frustrating element of the past few days for me. I'm looking for someone else to record horn for me! 

Tool's "Vicarious" starts off with some beautiful bass/guitar interplay in 5/4. I tried to really make this sound close to the original! Hope you dig it, it was a super fun little project guys!

I've decided to go with Andres Mayo. I sent him track #7 of my new album and he mastered it for me to approve. I friggin love it guys - super crisp and strong, the right amount of presence and very clear. I did some serious comparison with the original mix as well as a Cloudbounce version. The Andres version wins. I will go with that :D 

Here's an improvised guitar loop I made last week with the Spider Capo. Absolutely loving this thing! The piece literally sounds like a bunny is hopping around a tranquil garden. Hope you dig it! Been making tons of riffs and ideas like this - some day one of them will turn into a full, produced song.
