I did a "cover" of All They Fear is You by Mick Gordon from the Doom Eternal soundtrack. I didn't try play it note for note, heck, I don't think I'm even in the right tuning. I played it all from memory lol. It's like... A meme cover. Listen with a good head set. I mixed it wearing a headset so it likely won't sound good any other way

i listen to many different types of music. i used to play by ear so listening to various styles helped me improvise. i enjoyed it. i like the sound your getting from the bass.
I love doing that with jazz piano. I'd cast it on the tv and play along, trying to follow along by ear. I did the same with synthwave albums. I particularly love jamming with Dance with the Dead and Perterbator. It always sound wicked to me

For bass I'm using my usual pedals, that I spent months equing to get a sound I like haha. Peremetric EQs, darkglass inspired overdrive, compressors, noise gate, into a Joyo Monomyth. Rather than using bass to enhance my guitar, I use my guitar to enhance my bass. Been using my trusty Sterling Sub Ray4

i used to have a pedal with many effects that i played with. most i didn't know the names of the effect just which number it was. im familiar with flanger,compressor,overdrive and a few others. mostly just adjusted to the sound i was looking for.

Yea same here haha. I don't use many effects, sometimes I'll use a chorus rather than an overdrive but that's about it. And a chorus isn't a whole lot different from a flanger of phaser. They all add a wiggle to your sound. The Zoom B1X4 has its own pre-amps and impulse responses but I like to use a joyo preamp with it, so I can make room for other things I enjoy like two peremetric EQs (one to boost 2k and one to cut 300-400 region). I also like adding a compressor to compress the hell outta the signal so I can get a clean recording without any spikes in volume.

I find its easy to make a flat, thin signal and add bass to it than to make a bassy signal and try cut it to clean up the recording. I can play these same channels into my bass amp, which adds a heavy thump for jamming out

what style of music is this? what is it called?
I think of it a cross between deathcore and arjent metal (a type of metal inspired by Mick Gordon).

A lot of my riffs were inspired by watching cannibal corpse do a play through of frantic disembowlment, instrumenlly. I thought it was insane how fast they played everything. When you only listen to the album it sounds like a bunch of mud and noise, but when you actually watch them, their hands go nuts and it feels impossible to recreate it.

I don't really listen to the band, but the way they played it inspired me on writing my music. And, a band I do listen to, which was a huge inspiration, was meshuggah. Especially their work on future breed machine (meyhem version). It laid the ground work for me.

When everyone else obsessed over recreating their math core polyrhythm, and fusing it with dream theater, instead, I was influenced by their mechanical sound, the way they sounded like a hateful machine. You would think the machine on "I have no mouth and msyt scream" wrote their music.

So basically I set out to try create something kinda unique

Or it would have been unique if mick Gordon didn't beat me to it. But it didn't stop be from wanting to add my own noisy spin on it

In the new song, the synth was inspired by sounds I'd hear when I was getting alcohol induced psychosis

its an interesting music. there's a lot going on in that head of yours. how long have you been composing this style? it reminds me of video games and techno. i could see this played in the back ground of a game of sorts.

That's a good ear of yours, I listen to tons of techno and video games have been the biggest influence on my music. Ever since I was a little dude, I used to love just zoning out to background music on video games. It introduced me to funk, jazz, ambient and techno. I love a lot of electronic techno music too

I been working on this style of music for about two years now I think. Over a year for sure. Before this I just made metal core music, but I always wanted to make this sort of music. I just favoured drinking to actual practice lol.


But ever since I quit I been infused with big chimp energy and been venting it in music, art, animation, sculpting, armour modification, and guitar/bass modification. I get bored super easy now that I'm sober, and I get sick of everything super easy too so I constantly work on something new to vent this boredom out

Edit: I forgot to mention, as for my electronic music, I been making it for years. I used to mess with fruity loops back in 2010 era for a few years and recently started again with garageband. I used to own a korg synth too that I wrote a lot of music on.
