New riff idea, F Dorian

[TwilightOdyssey]

Nothing special here, setup-wise (direct guitar and bass w amp sims; simple drum loop); just wanted to capture this cool little set of riffs. Key is Eb/F Dorian, aside from the opening riff which is C Locrian. The guitar melody over the F Dorian riff (riff 3) is in C Aeolian (aka, C Natural Minor) which gives the meolody a Major Key feel even though both the melody and riff are in minor modes.



Edit: updated with new section added

Edit 2: updated with final songwriting demo revisions

The first forty seconds remind me of The Stranglers. Can't narrow it down to one specific song.

Good stuff, as usual.

I always get sort of an In Through The Out Door vibe from your music, which I dig.

I think it is cool as hell that you actually know what you are doing!! I could never in a million years say something like "here I am in locrian" or whatever...lol.

LOL
I find it easier to say Locrian than 'it sounds vaguely evil and Spanish' lol

Reminds me of Priest and Megadeth. Nice riffs, well recorded.
