First song for 2022.

After another year for Covid and lock downs my mind searches for memories of the past when getting together and having fun was just an everyday thing.

So lets dive into 2022.

And Away We Go

Decided to duet with my synth. Mom would not let me drag a B3 and Leslie into the house so had to make do.

Band:
873 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ModernRnBRockFunkyOffbeat Ev 065
3331 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzyPop16thsMark Ev16 080

Used some the Real Charts from the DAW plugin to add some different midi effects to the drums, bass and keyboard Real Tracks.

Guitar Lead: Gretsch - Double Mic'd
Guitar Slide: Les Paul - Double Mic'd
Synth: Atom SQ and Presence
Organ: Arturia Minilab and Analog Lab V
Presonus Rotor Plugin.
Mixed and Mastered in Studio One 5

Nice modern take on 60s instrumentals.

That synth part is other worldly---quite a pleasing contrast to the preceding lower register guitar part (which I loved).

Shades of Joe Meek in the synths n organs...fun.

I enjoyed the voice-ish synth (not to be confused with a synth voice).

Scott...great way to start the new year...I'm just guessing at how much technical work you must have put into this and I'm amazed...very ethereal and very "theremin-esque" (I made that word up) with the synth voices...your guitar work is always stellar and worth the wait...so for 2022 "Away We Go" right?

Hi, Scott.

Enjoyed the sounds. As firesong noted, bits of it were "theremin-esque".

Mellow tune.

Hello Scott
Very nice song
The guitars sound very good
Great work
Fun to listen to
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Hey Man, You're a talented guy. Listened to a couple of your songs and I'm impressed with your singing voice! I could only wish to have a voice like yours. The recordings were super clean too. We use the same DAW, Studio One 5. Pretty sold on Presonus and I love BIAB! Thanks, I enjoyed listening!

Thanks Scott for checking out the song. Glad you liked the synth portion. Getting back into playing my keyboard.

Great playing on your part, as is par for the course. Nice song. Good use of the band.

Loved the synth vox... guitars are great too...

Yes "theremin-esque" is the perfect way to describe the synth part. Super chops on that axe! Excellent song.

Beautiful textural piece Scott!!! Happy New Year!! Take care. Greg

The voice-like synth work reminds me of Vangelis soundtrack for Blade Runner (Seems like a lot of synth work reminds me of Blade Runner). Guitar had its own mystical coolness as well. Nice job!

Hey Scott, love that synth track! Great sound. Guitars sounds great too of course. Nice way to kick off the new year!

Scott,

A really nice piece. Good use of the synth.

Nice tone, as usual. So "clean", so precise...

Good mix. Good listen. Beautiful.

Thanks Ray for checking out the song. Glad you liked it.



Thanks Mark your comments are very much appreciated glad you liked it.

Thanks for checking out the song. I remember when the Beach Boys used the Theremin. Glad you like the song.



Thanks David It was your vox song that got me researching the midi key patches. Got me playing the keyboards again. Thanks for that. Glad you liked the song..

Hi Scott,

You told me you were busy making a song, so I didn't expect it was already done.
You made a very nice song and I was surprised about those beautiful vocals halfway!
Now I understand why you didn't ask me to do the singing in your song...

Hands down this is a very strong composition and guitar play, Scott.
I enjoyed it!

Hans

Scott

Something nice and different from you even the guitar sound.

Impressive keyboard work and a nice overall vibe.

Hope 2022 is kind to us all.

Peter

Thanks for checking out the song Andi. Glad you liked the song.



Thanks for checking out the song. Some of the songs I have collaborated on have vocals but not me singing. Glad you liked the song. More to come in 2022

Hi Scott,

Looking forward to 2022 and more from you. I hope we have a better year this year. "getting together and having fun" that would be nice!

Billy

That was a peaceful few minutes of gliding. Very pleasant textures. I thought the lead guitar was almost Marvinesque.

"theremin-esque" --great word, Mark. Perfect, except the notes were more right on. Right on, Scott. What a wonderful duet. I've come to see three Ts when I hear your guitar. Taste, tone and technique. You're a lock, man.

Hi, Scott !

Happy New Year !

What a delicate and supersweet tune !
I really like the tune and your
fender playing !

Cheers
Dani

A lot of cool sounds going on here Scott! The synth sound is great and it was interesting hearing a darker tone on your guitar! Thanks, Torrey

Thanks for checking out the song. Your comments are very much appreciated.
Glad you liked it.



Glad you liked the song. Your comments are very much appreciated.



Thanks Mario. Was also thinking of you when creating the song as you loved to use synths and midi when creating your songs. Combining BIAB and Studio One makes for some very cool soundscapes.

Great sound Scott.

I love that pic.

Outstanding Scott.

It took a lot of talent (both musical and tech wise) to create this.

The varied guitar chop/tones, the synth and the organ work togethers so well. Kudos.

Excellent mix too.

Great start to the new year for sure!

J&B

TM thanks for checking out the song. Really appreciate your comments. Glad you liked the song.

Very pleasing and restful piece Scott.
Speaking as a bass player I would have chosen a simpler track without the little runs but that's just my preference.
Good one.

Vic

Thanks Dave Really appreciate the comments. Glad you liked the song.



Thanks Floyd Glad you liked the synth. Really appreciate your comments.

Thanks for checking out the song Hans. I had been working on the song for quite awhile. This one took me some time to put together. Right in the middle I decided to start playing my keyboard again and had to relearn how to record with i.
I have been interested in the vocaloid since hearing David and Shigeki's song. I came across this vox patch and it sounded cool. Glad you liked it.


Hey Peter Good to hear from you. Happy New Year to you and Leon. Thanks for checking out the song. Glad you liked it..
