January Entry


Here's my January entry. For me its old school because it embodies some of my classic rock, folk and UK indie influences and also because I wrote the song when I left school. The tune is about returning home to your roots. I only ended up recording the song last year though when I bought some decent equipment and home felt even further away (I live in china now!). Brindabella sun refers to a mountain range near where I grew up in australia, called the Brindabella's, and I try explore those mountains whenever I visit my folks. After travelling and working all over the place its like therapy to immerse back into the timeless natural surroundings I grew up with, feel the smiling sunshine and remember lifes joys.

All music is recorded by myself with drums essentially done manually in realtime on a drum machine. I used a Yamaha semi acoustic, finger picking the solo, and for tone I simply used some of the Boss 8 track inbuilt COSM effects.

Hope you enjoy!

Sweet dude. Very nice vibe, you got an awesome tone for your acoustic!! It sounds beautiful. THe vocals are great, really nice sounding and suit the track very much, drums and bass sit just right in the mix to. Really good job man. Good luck!!

Very nice, great "back home" feel.

Me, I like guitar. I like loud squeals and pinch harmonics that only dogs can hear, tapping that would redefine what Fred Astaire popularized, sweeping that would make a janitor jealous, and most importantly great melodic HOOKS (like the greatest hook writers of all time Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson). Singing is not a requirement.

The mix was incredible
Real nice solo and great acoustic sound It reminds me of someone but I can't quit put my finger on it (Screaming Trees spring to mind but it's not them )

It does conjure up images on some US show where people are loading up the pick up truck and heading out on a road trip!

paulscape,

Brindabella Sun is very refreshing. To me it sounds like Jefferson Airplane at their zenith! Nice work!

Hi, I really enjoyed that! very mellow and relaxing with a sense of adventure , did you record this at home or at a studio?. Sounds professional you should think about making a demo / album and sending it out to a Record label

Thanks A de melo, its recorded at home on a boss 8track. The drum machine was even played manually in realtime! Cheers
