New Aghora song "Atmas heave"...

[url]http://www.myspace.com/aghora[/url]

The soft part in 7/8 makes me think of someone slowly swimming through bright blue water.

I also think Diana sounds better on this album. The last album she had an "odd" tone.

maniac0796 12-30-2006 04:01 AM

No, really bad actually. I wanted to go back to sleep in the morning, but i was hungry. I hate waking up cos I'm hungry.

you?

yeah. It doesnt work for us anymore. Weve been together for 2 years and thats enough for us. And I almost did it before christmas but that would have been way to cold so I'm gonna try to do it today so I can start the year 2007 as a single man

drummerdave 12-30-2006 04:04 AM

it was easier
and two of my lady friends came by my house at 3 am, drunk
one got out of the car, tried to walk and stumbled over herself
and texted me later saying her and her friend wanted to have sex with me

Ooh so it's more a mutual thing?

maniac0796 12-30-2006 04:12 AM

I'm going to the missus's house today.... Bus is in half an hour....

Yuh, drunk girls are quite unattractive.....

And for the girl you like, just leave her be for a few days, and then ask her whats wrong....

And Niksu, That's cold man. But i think you should do it at midnight on whatev day new year is....

drummerdave 12-30-2006 04:14 AM

i am
ive debated texting her and calling her and such the last two days, but i have resisted.
its just weird, cause everything was going pretty well
im going to talk to her tomorrow or sunday and see if we can get together on new years
nothing quite like kissing while the ball drops

maniac0796 12-30-2006 04:16 AM

Sometimes the only way to get somewhere is to be honest.

Try calling her or texting her....

drummerdave 12-30-2006 04:18 AM

i will, probably today
i really want to talk to her

maniac0796 12-30-2006 04:21 AM

Do it, and if she ignores you, take the advice of:

If a girl doesn't like you then there is no point in trying

drummerdave 12-30-2006 04:22 AM

see thats just the thing
she does like me
shes said it before multiple times
which is why this is such a sruprise

maniac0796 12-30-2006 04:22 AM

Cocaberry sent me negative rep because he's the only forum member i don't like

Boo-hoo. If anything, when coca gives me negative rep, it actually goes up.



And dave. Just be honest with her....

drummerdave 12-30-2006 04:23 AM

i will

Dave*Grohl 12-30-2006 04:24 AM

[QUOTE=maniac0796;13916197]And Niksu, That's cold man. But i think you should do it at midnight on whatev day new year is....[/QUOTE]

I'd rather do it today so I could speak to her face to face. But I'm gonan have to leave soon so I don't know if thats possible.

And to josiah. I don't know what mutual means but if it has anything to do with her the answer is, she doesnt want to brake up. She wants to be with me forever eventough she knows it hasnt been working out for the last 2 months and even longer

Iodus 12-30-2006 04:34 AM

Hey guys,
I'm looking for some opinions/critique's on a couple songs I've written:

1. [url]http://www.chrismeans.com/Death%20of%20the%20Seynop.mid[/url]

2. [url]http://www.chrismeans.com/compo.mid[/url]

They're only midi, straight out of guitar pro,
The first one is a slightly more progressive sort of sound the band wanted to explore, I'm not looking at ways to improve the drumming, as it's just some beats i wrote just to 'fill the gap', so the other band members can hear how it could come together.

The second is some more of a black metal piece, (BEWARE 5:00 minutes long, if your no a fan of this genre you probaley don't want to listen) I've just quickly thrown this one together, again, this one is nothing flashy, just ideas, the whole purpose of me asking your input is to improve the songs (structure, themes, etc) i don't particularly care about the drumming, as i play it completely differently with the band, this is just 'filling the gap.'
I'm particularly interested in ways to improve the basslines, as I have a lot of trouble writing parts for bass.

Thanks

Futuro 12-30-2006 04:40 AM

First one reminds me a lot of tool. D Phrygian mode, and its 5/8. (Sup tool! =) )

You could make the song more intresting with a counterpoint guitar part instead of the 80s style harmonization.

Some neat ideas, just need to be refined IMO

EDIT: I actually thought the 6/4 part was pretty neat. I can see a real mellow vocal line over that.

Oh and your "bad" notes remind me of the james bond theme.

carlh2003 12-30-2006 04:41 AM

Wow, I've never heard midi files quite like them.
Considering you wrote and made them, you get a cookie from me :)

Iodus 12-30-2006 04:43 AM

Ha! thanks guys! yea, I wrote the first ideas for the first one after hearing tool for the first time, hence the 15/8 time sig ( I wrote it in 15/8, then after a while i realised i should have used a different time sig)

And what are these "Bad" notes you speak of exactly?
I have a few ideas as to which notes they could be but I'm not sure

Futuro 12-30-2006 04:49 AM

15/8, 5/8 dont matter. =) I was just counting it as a phrase of 3 bars of 5/8....which equals 15/8 anyway :lol:

When I gave it a second listen you are changing the mode you use alot in the song.

It sounds like the first part goes from Dminor, to D phrygian, and back and forth. I dunno, it creates an odd sound if thats what you wanted <shrug>

EDIT: Kinda Indian sounding. Ya thats it.


[QUOTE]And what are these "Bad" notes you speak of exactly?
I have a few ideas as to which notes they could be but I'm not sure[/QUOTE]Well it depends what key you were writing in. D phrygian wont have the E, and D minor wont have the D#.

I think the particular section went, D,D#,E,F...

Which the bond theme uses something fairly similar.

Iodus 12-30-2006 04:55 AM

Umm, well it modulates up a 4ths after the first bar, then back down.
So it's in D natural minor, then in G minor, and back and forth.

And yes, I think it sounds a bit Indian too

Ah yes, I get the "bad" note thing now

Futuro 12-30-2006 04:59 AM

But I meant the chromatic part :) D D# E F F# It just reminds me of bond for somereason :lol:

[QUOTE]Ah yes, I get the "bad" note thing now[/QUOTE]oh ok ya. Than dont worry about this post lolz

It's 4:50 AM. I cant sleep; It's gawdamn hot. I am home from vacation. Yesterday was such a bad day.

We were heading home from San Diego, CA. Traffic was bad, as usual. It was slowing down, and out of nowhere some big *** SUV slammed into the back of our van. What do you know, the bastard starts racing away in the side lane. We couldnt even tell what brand vehicle let alone see the liscence plate. Wasted 3 hours dealing with the cops and nothing can be done anyways.

Nobody was hurt, and the damage wasnt catostrophic. He hit the corner of the bumper which destroyed the right side.

The driving is already bad enough in SD. I cant imagine driving in LA.

Futuro 12-30-2006 05:03 AM

LA traffic sux.

ITs 7am here. lol high as ****, drinking gatorade and eating this good fukkin french bread pizza.

sucks about the crash dude.

ofDooM 12-30-2006 05:08 AM

We were driving once and this car full of mexican people (no offense to anybody) were going well over 110 mph. They were going fast, until this old guy got in front of them.

They drove to his side, flicked him off, threw a bunch of eggs at his car, and pulled off a massive 5 lane turn into the exit.

Josiah 12-30-2006 05:12 AM

Haha ya man it's crazy here... people are such morons.

Where abouts in SD are you at ofDoom? I used to play some places down there.
