Another piece composed, recorded, mixed and uploaded on a Sunday afternoon/evening

[Kosh Naranek]

I wanted to record something using rhythmic delays to fill out the sound and set up a rhythm, like some of the stuff Henry Frayne of Lanterna and The Moon 7 Times does. Lanterna on myspace

So I set up my Fender Super Sonic with my Rocktron Replifex in the effects loop, just ran it in mono, to my Marshall 1-12 open back cab and mic'ed it with an e609. The guitar was a Hamer Chapparal from the 80's, and I used the original Hamer single coil pickups. It's the snarkiest sounding guitar I have.

Wanting to put my own twist on it, I added a solo. That was done with my Peavey USA Limited with Duncan vintage Livewires singles, into a Way Huge Swollen Pickle, and then to my Jet City 20 watt head, with the Peavey Penta cabinet which has Celestion 75 watt speakers in it. I also split the signal after the fuzz and ran the other signal to a Toneworks G4 Leslie simulator, and the output of that went direct. The amp was mic'ed with a Stedman N90 close up and a Groove Tubes GT44 tube condenser further back.

It was one of those quiet, sunny Sunday afternoons, so I called it The Sun and the Stillness.

Yep, I can hear the sunny Sunday afternoon in that! I enjoyed it. I would have liked to hear a warmer, more musical sounding delay in that piece, but that's a personal taste thing. The solo part was tasty, you've got a nice expressive vibrato range and the volume swells really suited the track. Well done.

I enjoyed that, Kosh. The rhythmic delay part was very sparkly and solo guitar lines were very original! It sounds like you definitely have both the know-how and the gear to lay down some quality tracks!
