Hey all! Daniel and myself have completed our first real song as an international effort. From St. Petersburg, Russia to the East Bay Area of San Francisco comes a sweet little song we call Everything Is Perfect. Hope you enjoy! Kelly and Daniel-Bothsidesmusic
Sweet song guys, "Everything Is Perfect"; almost a George Harrison-esque quality about it and was hoping the story line turned out that way:-) Great work on your long distance collaboration!
I agree, Cyndi. I thought the same thing. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment! Kelly
Our stuff got called Harrison-esque? Be still my heart! -D
We have a new song up. Our first song done on two continents! This is exciting for us as this will be our new mode of creating for the time being while Daniel does his time in Russia! The song is called Small and Useless Things. Acoustic, personal, simple.
So we re-edited Cannot Love You in order to get to the chorus sooner. We like the re-do and have put it up in its new form and hoping to submit it to one of the Russian opportunities.
Both Sides Music is now undergoing a dramatic revision as what was once started as two guys living across the street from each other is now going to be two guys living on two different continents of the world! No biggie. We never recorded together, not even once! We always did our own tracks from our studios across the street from each other! So what's a little distance, like thousands of miles? We will be posting some new songs shortly and can't wait to get this thing running again. Now we are truly Both Sides Music, as in both sides of the world! Me (Kelly) here in The States, and Daniel in Russia!
Thats how I do all my collab's; dropbox and skype are great, even with huge time differences. It works ;o)
Right! Dropbox is amazingly helpful. Good luck Adam, keep up the work. Keep the dream alive and make some money in the process! Don't we all just want to get up and make music every day?
A question Adam or for that matter, anyone reading this...has anyone used Izotope for mastering? I just got it and am looking forward to boosting the quality of our tracks...also...if anyone would like some love drums and percussion on their tracks...give me a holler...Kelly
I mean to write "have some live drums" sorry
Dear BSM, thanks for your review of Downtime. You should have heard it before I produced it! It sounded like really C movie quality cop music. At one time I had produced a more FOTF dance beat, but we changed it again, this time to real drums. I thought it made it sound more 80's again too. But that is that song, so leave it at that. I might talk to Lucius about doing another mix with the dance beat back in, because it did sound more modern. Cheers - Mitchell P
Hi guys Cheers for the review of Promised Land - demo. Appreciate the comments and score. Glad you liked it. Cheers Ad
Sorry you didn't enjoy my song Screaming G. You seem to be the only one that doesn't get it. It's a moody guitar solo. It was #1 in Rock-Gothic for months. Thanks for your straight forward review though.
Ah man, please don't misunderstand! I thought the guitar work was stellar; I was just offering my reactions and thoughts since the reviewing system offered up a song, cold. My expectation was a "song", not a "solo", per se. Context is everything! Anyway, I really look forward to checking out more of your work and hearing your chops, and congrats on the #1! Do you mind if I ask if it led to any placements? I am curious how this whole thing works. Thanks for understanding my comments. I'm really trying not to be negative, by trying to be constructive.
I do appreciate the constructive comments. I welcome them. I don't think there was any misunderstanding. But, it was strickly a solo piece. (Take Van Halen's Eruption for an example. Not saying my song is anywhere as stellar as Eddy's) but you killed me on the ratings. And that's your right also if your feel it was deserving. No hard feelings. I actually didn't expect much from it in the first place. The background ("Scream") was composed seperately for a movie soundtrack called ReDracula. I added the guitar on top just for the fun of it, not for anything but to see how I could improv to a moody/ scary sounding background that has absolutly no melodic key or functionality to it and make it fit the bill. Surprisingly, most people have liked it.
Sweet. Understand now. Thanks for the background info on the song. Interesting to learn about it, and the context helps. Incidentally, I listened to My Darkest Hour, and I like it a lot. It's more of that "song" thing that I was expecting with Screaming G. And great guitar work, as always.
Both Sides Music is a song and soundtrack powerhouse derived from the most dynamic, determined, driven duo you've never met. We are a superhero team dedicated to ending the injustice of mediocre or misplaced music in the world. Determined to rid the world of canned drums and drum machines we aim to raise the bar as high as we possibly can and deliver dynamic, interesting and soulful music void of the bland and uninspiring limitations of one person and a keyboard. Real instruments! Real music! Rock on!
Cherniy Kvadrat is COOL!!! I really like that.
Thanks, Jeff. So happy you liked it. Our homage to modern Russian rock! Good luck to you and hope you are successful!
Hi thanks for a VERY thoughtful review of "One Nation Under a Fool." That one's just for fun, I don't even have the original separate tracks anymore. The drums are a sample from a Jimmy McGriff tune. Funky drummers like that don't grow on trees... All the best, Jeff
I can give you all the funk you need! So funky it's almost moldy...seriously...shoot me a track and I'll lay you a part just for kicks.
