Our car comics, pen on paper & vector drawn. Just one of those things I wanted to do. The music is heavy 8 string fan fret guitar and synths this time in Lydian 145BPM. Since getting the Line 6 Pod Express Black, I hadn't used the 8 string that much, as to me, I find the DROP 7 string the sweet spot.
These comics are all from 2022.
I feel I did all the interesting cars back then, and all the similar comics I started since, just didn't have that "something" they needed for me to continue very far with them.
The comics are all free to down load here from our website in CBR format. It needs a CBR reader, but I find them very useful for PDF too. In my own case, a CBR file is just a .zip archive of sequentially numbered jpeg images of the pages with the extension changed. They should really be .CBZ files, but the readers don't care, so for the longest time I didn't notice.
Also did this music + comic too a few days ago:
It was pretty much ignored on social media. Even more ignored than usual.
Both of these music + comics are rather about the guitar tone. I just love that metal guitar sound, even if I'm not much of a metal guitarist. I am about "music production", not "being a guitarist". The Pod Express Black ANVIL amp with large cabinet and no effects is THE guitar sound for me at the moment. The ANVIL amp is said to be based on the HX STOMP's BADONK, but I expect simplified somehow. IS the HX's version more awesome I sometimes wonder? I don't record guitar parts with effects. They are added when MIXing in my Reaper DAW. CHORUS, REVERB, DELAY, FLANGING, EQ and everything else are plugins.
Had Booster Vaccinations early last week and we found it really knocked us about for a few days, so after all the business of the week before, had a rather relaxed, pained week.
I find I usually am really into some Album, or collection of tracks from an artists Albums I like and play them constantly for weeks, while walking, sitting in a cafe or drying the dishes. In recent weeks that has been ASTERISM. A month ago it was URASAWA NAOKI constantly.
I have also tried listening to the 3 FREAK AUDIO LAB'S RESIST THE CORROSION tracks from YouTube on repeat. They are so awkward sounding for me at the moment, and I can't listen very long before going back to something from ASTERISM or even my own tracks. I can't buy the album (as don't have one of the FREAK KITCHEN online store payment options without asking Mattias personally to take my PayPal!), and there may be some tracks I will love on it, but don't know yet. Not sure why though, as I can listen to similar strange tracks on the previous GROW YOU'RE OWN MUSTACHE release and do get into them.
Have already started recording guitar parts for the next 60 second music comic, even though I have nothing
