Mike Omni – Sweet Nostalgia

Nov 12, 2009 Classic Rock, Mike Omni, Rock, Soundtrack

Today’s track from Mike Omni feels like the title implies.  This Blues-esque guitar is reminiscent of a time when you had no adult worries and things were just all right.  Along with that happy carefree feeling, it carries a sense of loss for those easy times.

Vincent dePaul – On Demand

Nov 7, 2009 Audio, Critical Mass, Rock, Urban, Vincent dePaul

I posted a request in a forum I frequent to tell me what composition to make.  They gave me the key, the tempo, the lead instrument, and the mood they wanted.  Three hours later, this tense sounding piece was the result.

Mike Omni – A Tragic Ending

Nov 4, 2009 Audio, Mike Omni, Rock, Soundtrack

Mike Omni wants you to call a few dependable friends tonight, load up your pockets with shotgun ammunition and go get payback on those sons of bitches that killed your brother… ’s whole family.  With an all around eerie finality, this track manages to be haunting and hard at the same time.   It’s easy to see this one in the score of something from Frank Miller.

Mike Omni – Caldera

Oct 28, 2009 Audio, Hardcore, Mike Omni, Punk, Rock

Energy abounds in this hard rock composition from Mike Omni.  With a thick, abrasive bottom end and dueling guitars screaming on the top, this won’t just blow your mind, it’ll blow your soul.

Mike Omni – The Days Get Darker

Oct 23, 2009 Audio, Jazz, Mike Omni, R&B, Rock

The stars of this Mike Omni piece are the dueling harmonies from his beautiful one-piece Ocean bass. While the two movements compete for your affection, the Les Paul Classic trickles notes onto you just like Jimmies on soft serve. The Fender Roads MKII, a Mike Omni favorite, breathes heavenly life under the composition.

Vincent dePaul – Gradient Rage

Sep 23, 2009 Audio, Critical Mass, Rock, Soundtrack, Vincent dePaul

It was 2007 and I had just been paid an egregious amount of money for doing voice work for Scion.  I was collecting my check from a 24-hour straight session of mixing and mastering an entire country album days before it was submitted to the record label.  For the first time in a long time, my audio career was taking off financially.

So I quit my studio job and took a six month vacation from the world.  Vertical movement be damned!

I added the finishing touches of a long overdue equipment upgrade to the studio and proceeded to go full retard.  Six months of isolation (henceforth known as the Great Shut-In of 2007) interspersed with the occasional visit from the lovely and talented David B. Mitchell.  His tremendous knowledge of Progressive Rock eventually rubbed off on me and, as a result, this semi-epic piece was spawned.  Balls-out horn blasts from Sonik Synth 2 pleasantly startle the nebulousness of the Minimoog.  One day, perhaps a real guitarist will do the lead line.

Vincent dePaul – Survival of the Fittest

Sep 23, 2009 Audio, Critical Mass, Rock, Urban, Vincent dePaul

After I had purchased my Avalon 737sp for a hell of a deal, (Thank you, Ryan of Guitar Center!) I decided to test it out.  One of my favorite songs of all time is “Survival of the Fittest” by Mobb Deep.  So I did a cover of it and added my patented “Hatred-In-A-Box (Just add excuse)”™ to it and, voilà!

I had absolutely no idea that I could sound like Zach de la Rocha.  I might use that to my advantage.
