New Demo: "I am Nomad"

JStern Joined: Mar 15, 2012 Posts: 105 San Antonio, Texas	Posted on Sep 16 2012 09:01 AM Hey folks, I posted a new song in the demos portion of the downloads section called "I Am Nomad.". Please check it out when you get a chance. Any feedback about the tune would be appreciated! I finally have a surf band going, and we are hoping to get gigging and recording in the studio soon.

One suggestion, I'd consider trimming the first half of your bridge at 1:02. I like the electric piano part.

I just need to tweak the first 8 bars of the bridge to set up the key change and build excitement into the tremolo picking section. I programmed all the drum parts on the demo. The drummer I am working with right now is fabulous, we are just struggling with recording him. We have some good mics, but only 2 powered preamp inputs in the computer. The band has been a lot of fun, it's just tricky finding rehearsal time due to conflicting work schedules. We have 15 original songs demoed out now, can't wait to get in the studio! — The Techtonics reverb nation page Soundcloud page Top
