Hi folks,
this is a little guitar-bass-drums-instrumental which i did as a christmas present for my little brother. As the subject suggests i don't really know in which genre it fits. It's definitely not the typical insane-soloskill-showcase-alongside-boring-backing-track but rather erm... yes - a bit of the opposite in some ways i think...
For the basic sounds i just used the KPA on its own: rhythm guitars are done with one of Andy's free Matchless profiles (difference between clean & crunch is only playing dynamics) and for the bass i had one of r_u_sirius' Darkglass B7K profiles, both tweaked quite heavily. Solo guitars are done with the same profile as the rhythm ones, but in this case i used some external stompboxes in addition (Soundblox Multiwave Distortion/ WMD Geiger Counter/ Strymon Mobius + Timeline/ Morpheus Droptune/ Digitech Whammy V). Guitar is a VGS Stage One with Evertune (F***ing amazing bridge system for recording purposes imho) and bass is tracked with a Dingwall Combustion. Drums are stitched together from premixed samplephrases that i had laying around on an old sample CD. Recording/ roughmixing was done in Samplitude. For stem-mixing + mastering i hired a mastering engineer here in germany (http://www.finemastering.de).

Play it loud & have some fun!
