Back in December I started to do some tracks that were a bit more dark and aggressive than I had in the past.  I lost the desire to do anything ambient and went full bore into a new style for me.  

The first track, Enhanced, was done over a short period of time.  Then life got in the way, I simply didn’t have time or motivation.  Finally, I got back into the studio and re-started my production efforts and the next demo just came out…

As always, this is purely a demo.  Nothing mastered, sound levels are off, the full FX were not applied to the mix.  If I ever actually do record this for some type of release, it would end up sounding significantly different… much more polished.

So, here you go, the demo for Enhanced.2

Well, with the things I have experienced the last few days I took my energy and focused on a new track – but it is for another project, not the one I had been working on the the last month.

Here you go: JP/VMS – Enhanced (Demo)

As with all other Demos this is not mastered and is in no way the final product. Rather, this is 6 hours of getting the form and structure down for the rewrite.   Some studio notes…

1) Need to change the lead guitar (maybe)
2) Remove the reverb/echo on backing hit
3) Rearrange lead synth, keep pattern
4) Shorten the high hats echo
5) Remove 32 beats from break, 32 beat from second lead, remove 32 beats from end

All things considered, for just sitting down in a few hours and putting something together, this is not bad at all.  With some polish this has a lot of potential.
