Lizard Brain - PG Music Forums

That was fun - lizard/reptile brain & Fight or Flight response were BUZZ word of the late 80s early 90s.
Interesting arrangement - it worked the best when sparse. The rhythm guitar is, perhaps, too normal, (might need some DUB in & out of the mix, massive reverb/delay treatment to be less ordinary).
Good stuff.

Ha,
That's unique for sure!
Ya know, the number one artist these days is Billie Eilish.
I think you could give her some competition:

Thanks for the listen Ray.
Your comments are much appreciated.
Food for thought.
Cheers.

Thank you Captain.
Never heard of Billie Eillish before and thoroughly enjoyed meeting her on utube.
Cheers.

This surely wakes up my lizard brain with very hypnotic rhythm, I hope there are no subliminal commands

Different, strange yet modern, unique sound landscape. Excellent use of BIAB.

Janne

Unique!
I love it...
And I imagine you had a lot of fun putting this one together!

Where in the world did you come up with the concept?

It sounds like something Rayc would do.

I had to come back & listen again...
I like the palette of sounds you've put into it...
Very cool!

Hi Janne.
Now there's an idea I must try.
Embedded subliminal commands.
Thanks for such positive comments.
Cheers.

Hi Jim.
Thanks for the support.
Just trying to figure out how to use RealBand and Realtracks again, forgotten over the last couple of years, keeping the lyrics to the minimum. I do enjoy these toys. Cheers.

Hypnotic stuff, RichMac!
In the start I thought 'what the heck is happening here?'
But then I got hypnotized by the melody.
That was the good thing about it, the bad thing is now the phrase 'Lizard Brain' stays around in my head.
I wonder for how long...

Hans

My lizard brain likes it!

A weirdly charming refrain that; it sounds like you had fun with the effects.I was expecting a really heavy drum track/more grunge guitars to come in, but enjoyed the hypnotic repetitions.

Hi Hans,
Wish I knew. 'That phrase' has been bouncing around my head for weeks now. Thanks for listening and commenting.
Cheers.

Hi David. I'm really glad of that.
'Grooowk' or whatever noise happy lizards make.
Cheers.

Thanks Robert. A bit weird is my thing.
Trying to relearn the software.
Experimenting. Fun.
Cheers.

Man, is that ever entertaining. We were wondering how to express
our thoughts, went and read the comments and it would be hard
to beat what Janne said!

We have a large tin lizard as "yard art" and I don't think we'll ever
walk by it again w/o thinking of this song!

Fun.

I love it when the lyrics are kept to a minimum

Now try to find time to write another one of your unique songs!

Have to give you an A+ for originality!! Certainly an innovative song!! Take care. Greg

What a wild ride you just took me on! And it was a lot of fun.

Clever production. Effective build.

Rich

Unique and hypnotizing (just kept getting better).

Very much enjoyed.

Peter

Rich ...

Well, that's one of the most unusual songs I've heard on this forum in 4 or 5 years I've been here! I love the imagination you applied to this ... creativity is a wonderful tool and you have lots of it! I appreciate your process in outting this together. Loved it! best to you ...

Alan

Hi J&B
Thanks for the listen so glad you enjoyed this bit of fun.
50 years ago my Dad while longlining around Karewa island just off the coast here went ashore, its the home of the tuatara lizard,and brought one home for us to see. It was amazing big old cold and wrinkly. 2 to 3 feet long. And still. Then he discovered they were protected (big fines) so very quietly and quickly returned it to the island. Hes long dead now but I suspect the lizard is not.
Best to you both.

Hi Greg
Thanks so much for checking and commenting. Cheers.

Hi E's Storm
Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers.

Hi PeterF
Really glad you enjoyed it and thought it developed ok.
Cheers.

Hi Al Dude
Thanks for your kind words.
Heres the thing.
I can't match or copy the skillful and talented singers, lyricists and producers on this forum so have to try and do something different.
Best wishes.

Wow - what a dizzying and uniquely engaging song! Very interesting delivery, but the melodies are fantastic. Truly unique in every sense of the world. Makes for a really fun listen.

Thanks for sharing

Richard,

You have always been one of the most original and interesting artist around here. This is a good example of just that.

Excellent use of BIAB to create "new" music.

Thoroughly enjoyed that.

fj

Hi Derek,
Thanks for your listen and very kind words.
Best wishes.

Hi Floyd,
Thanks for your generous and supportive comments.
I try not to repeat myself but it's not that easy.
Cheers.

Well, well, well - this one is really different .... Very funny !!!! One might think at first listen taht something like this can be easily done - I don't think so - must have taken some time to put this one together...

Cheers,

Stefan

Hi Stefan
I generally spend 4-6 weeks on a song. Trying this trying that then removing what I can. This is what i enjoy.
All in RealBand.
Thanks for the interest. Will check out one of yours. Cheers.

Hi Richard,

It's so good to see you back in the forum a little more regularly

Every time I listen to one of your songs, I always come away with a tonne of ideas for my own creations. You have a wonderful ability to inspire and I really appreciate that.

Listening to this, it was easy to hear that you had a lot of fun putting the music, words, arrangement and performance together. Once again, you mesmerised me with your creativity. Thank you.

All the best,
Noel

Hi Noel
Your kind words are most welcome.
