Lorelei and the Goth?

I mean, what even is this? 😆😆😆😆

Interesting feel though, for sure. For a first try it's not super bad or anything, just sounds weeeeird to me. I mean, it almost sounds hardcore until you get to the chorus and think to yourself, "yup, that's def still Jaelights over there".

I suppose real follow through would involve me putting lyrics on it though. What do people think of that? Do I keep lolling over here?

in reply to @Jaelights's post:

the FM-sounding synth pad and the arpeggiation in the chorus definitely provide a lot of interest! something about that descending minor pentatonic riff in the chorus is giving touhou. there's something *core about it, and i'd definitely look forward to hearing what shakes out of some refinement!

Heh, I'll prolly just take this a lesson on a few things:

  • Firstly, maybe I shouldn't say I'm gonna make metal when I'm low on sleep and a bit moody because as much as I like listening to metal at that point, it doesn't mean I'm magically good at making it 😂
  • Secondly, I really don't think distorted guitar is ever going to be my goto for chords
  • Thirdly, yes, using 32nd notes for the kick is a bit busy
  • Lastly, descending arpeggios are pretty cool, fo real.

I may, maybe, possibly, pull out the guitar, reformat the drums and turn it into something more synth wavy. Maybe...

But mostly I wanted to follow through on what I said I would do. It was a unique challenge, but not all experiments work out perfectly. So long as we learn (and I did) it's fine to mess around though 😂

Well...I'll keep that in mind then! I don't know that this would ever have a place in LatG itself but... Well, maybe I should keep an open mind on things. There's always at least some space for side projects...

I actually went back to fix it and the first thing I did was fix the drums to make them less, uh, “busy”. Starting to really dig it, actually. With the drums smoothed out it’s becoming pretty decent.

Oooh!!! This track is Jaelights with EDGE™ and I am so here for it!! The harsh guitar and the floaty synth arpeggio sounds so good together!!!

( Also, this kind off reminds me of the song "Kill The Lights" by Birthday Massacre :O, have you heard it before? I think it's definitely because the song also has aggressive guitar and synth arpeggio lol )
