Bulb - New pretty and clean song, probably for OMNOM (Axefx cleans!)

[bulb]

Hey guys.

This song is called "epic fail" because its basically what took place not too long after i recorded it.

I usually am very good about backing up my data, so much so that in Mauritius i had filled up my backup drive, and just as my awesome luck would have it, the day before i went out to buy a new backup drive when i got back here, my laptop's hard drive made that dreaded clicking sound and it was basically toast. To recover the data, the plates would have to be removed and put in a new drive and that i was told would cost me about 1600 bucks which is just not worth it to me...

I lost all the work i did in Mauritius, including Chocolate Flobs, Unleash the Pwnies, this song and a bunch of other song ideas i never posted.
The plan had originally been to make this an OMNOM song (which it will be once i have time to do vocals with Elliot) , but i thought i might as well put it up in the meantime as an instrumental.

As far as the song itself, it was inspired by this awesome tuning that my good buddy Nolly showed me when i was visiting him in the UK. I apologize for the song is a bit rough in places but to fix anything i would have to rerecord it from scratch, which i will do someday....

Aye, this is ****ing awesome!

Very nice, very mellow, but still with a rockin edge to it. The drum's fit perfectly, and add it that extra little "something".

Dude, seriously, probably my favorite thing that you've ever posted.

I guess this doesn't make me very metal :X.

Man, that sucks to hear about losing all that data.

If it's any consolation, I really dig this track. Different, and I was waiting to be kicked in the arse, but I like how you kept it going with that mood for the duration. A lot of really nice layering going on in there.

Out of curiosity, what was the tuning that someone turned you on to?

I dig the tune and the tuning is definitely one that can really inspire some good stuff.

Excellent arrangement and guitar sound - I'm likin' the AxeFX the more and more I hear it... May have to take the plunge here soon myself.

Sounds like open Dadd9 to me.

...not really, I just did a bit of trial and error with my acoustic.

F# A D F# A e.

On a related note, Third Eye Blind's "Narcolepsy" is in the same tuning.

anxious to hear (i'm at work now). sucks about losing all that data. been there, done that.

well at least $1600 is more of a "not worth it" issue than a "I don't have it" issue, which is more the case for most these days.
