This song is a classical piano piece arranged for electric guitar, bass, drums and piano. It is quite fast and a very good arpeggio exercise for every guitarist (probably also for every keyboarder out there but being a guitarist I can only judge it from my point of view).

This is a very rhythm-oriented, short rock song. It uses the classic rock instrument trio – drums, bass and guitar (although the guitar is clean throughout except for a short solo piece where I use a distorted guitar sound). This song has been spooking around in my head for ages and I’m happy that I finally have the time to record it.

This song was basically composed shortly after a heavy car accident I had on November 6th in 1998. I began to work again on the song sometime in March 1999 when I started to record the basic riffs. The solos were worked out a little later, sometime in April and May 1999, but were recorded in the end of July 1999.
The song turned out to be rather heavy and also I do more guitar shredding than in my other songs (at least that’s what I think, but judge for yourself). This is also basically the first song where I really use the full tonal range of my Ibanez Universe 7-string (going deep down ;-)).

A very smooth and relaxing song I composed last summer. It has some nice, slow guitar solos (I think 🙂 and a cool bass line. I basically composed this song in summer 1998 when I first got my TerraTec EWS64XL and made a quick and dirty recording of it. In February 1999 I began to record almost half of the song. Now I’ve finally finished it and I must say that I like this song very much. The song title says it all. So come on and be lazy.

I made this tune as a demo for the Line6 POD for a befriended Italian guitarist. At first I just wanted to record some short jingles with only guitar just to demonstrate the capabilities of the POD. But later I loaded a drum soundset into my EWS64 and also made a drum track, then a solo line and so on. Almost all takes are first takes. The guitar stuff was all composed and recorded in about 2 hours in a moment of highest inspiration. That’s also the reason why this song is called “Too Short Moments” because these moments of inspiration are usually much too short (might also be a reason why the song is only about 2:20).

This is the first song I ever did using computer based harddisk-recording. So don’t expect too much from it. Still, I think it’s not so bad for a first try, although I had heavy sync problems with my TerraTec EWS64XL 🙁 which you can unfortunately hear sometimes. This is also the reason why I’m going to buy a more professional harddisk-recording-card in the near future.
I got the inspiration to this song from watching TV series such as Melrose Place or Beverly Hills. Although it turned out quite heavier and a little different from the intro songs of those series I think it still captures the spirit and has an easy to remember hook line.
