Thanks, Victor, and I appreciate the listening and the feedback/suggestions! And we're here to rock it out until they kick us off the stage! (Looks around nervously...) 8-)

Scott and I just decided earlier today to do some more of this collaboration stuff, and see where it goes. Another set of source files has already been exchanged.

We even tossed around a few ideas for a project/band name. The obvious one thought of by my friends who I've made listen to this is to put our last names together: Sink and Kerr, but "Sinker" is a Christian rock band already: :evil:
Quote:
Sinker is a Christian band that is just forming that will be a full-production Christian Rock cover band in Southern Maine. We want to show kids and youth groups about the great Christian rock they are missing out on.

I think Scott and I could kick their ass if we had to, but I think we'll go with "SINKERR" which has both of our last names, and the last K of my name is the first letter of his name. 7 letters, and nice and Germanic metal sounding (maybe we should add an umlaut or three?) SINKËRR?

I've already got a logo. :oops: I'll be making our next 12 album covers before you know it! :ugeek:

Here's your page 2 bump of SINKERR's (Stephen Sink and Scott Kerr)'s Chromatic Jack: Railboard, drums, piano & guitars. Thanks!

Hey... can we call ourselves "motorhead" now? I mean the name is free right...? Lemmy wouldn't mind...?

OK, bad idea. lol

Didn't want to start a new Showcase topic but I've done some remixing on "Chromatic Jack," which I did with Jayesskerr (Scott Kerr). I got iZotope Neutron and have been really enjoying re-mixing and mastering some of my older tunes. I worked hard to bring out the Railboard bass without making the mix too muddy, and I liked the latest mix.

I enjoyed this mix and marveled at JSK's guitar shreddery.

Thanks so much on the mix! The mix and mastering are the hardest parts, at least for me (playing 4 instruments--no problem! Mixing them together--hard!). Every once in a while, the mix is just perfect, and you know it when you hear it. But this one has been a troublesome bear from the very beginning.

The Railboard and the guitars and the pianos are all fighting for much of the same frequency space, and carving out a space for each to rock it out and not muddy the waters was really hard. Probably not quite there yet, but closer than before! (And sometimes you have to just say "Good enough!" and move onto something else. Or come back to it later, as I did with this!) I'm most proud of how the drums sound, actually. The drums seem to drop out on most people's heavy mixes, and I tried hard to keep them there and present, with everything else living on top of them. Some of my best funky drumming as well. More work to do, but mostly there!

As for J.S. Kerr: The guitar is just phenomenal on this tune, and the harmonized arpeggios are just the most awesome of a whole bag of guitar tricks that Scott's using here. Scott really makes this little track shine, and takes my keyboard comping to a whole new level with the expressive guitar lines over the top. And the layering! I just love listening to one single track in isolation and seeing how Scott builds up from his palette of guitar tricks to lay on layers that all work together to rock it out.

Thank you, sir! Coming from you, that's excellent praise indeed!

This is really one of my very favorite tunes that I've had the pleasure to be part of. As a musician, if I could do nothing but albums like this, I would be very happy. And then sell out stadiums all over the world playing this music (hey, why not, while I'm dreaming!), but I'd be happy just making the music!

And Scott and I have never even met, yet! How cool is this internet connected world we live in, says the guy in an office building in Michigan to his worldwide Stickist friends, who are all bad-ass musicians in their own right! These little collaborations are the very height of awesomeness for both me, and from our conversations, for Scott as well. I'm very lucky to know him and many of you awesome people.

Thanks, guys! Stickists rule! :twisted:

--SINKERR ROCKS!

Yeah the internet is a lot like the stick - awesome things that were never possible before suddenly are!

I wish that there were more Stick "collaborations". It would seem that this would be the site to do it on, and I for one am always, always interested and available to play. I think that music and music collaborations are really the only reason I have the internet...

We did do a big collaboration at the end of 2016 featuring a lot of Stickists and tappers from the Stickist site, I think it turned out really well.

Steve is an amazing musician, and a super nice guy. He puts up with my crazy music ideas over his riffs, sometimes it's pretty weird music.

Anyways, thanks again to Steve! And what a cool tune, eh?
