You are welcome, Kara, and I thank you for accepting. I love your words and delivery. My mother never understands (especially music), but that’s another story. As this song was nearing its final state near Mother’s Day, it is very fitting. I love your she-wolf howls, and the fact that we are honest with each other about the co-creation of a song. Keep howling……. FB

Glad you liked the panning, Steven. I wanted it to sound like a couple of wolves in the forest but far from their pups. Of course I can’t take credit for the howls as Kara preforms them with a very realistic quality. Thank you for the compliments :)

My pleasure..This was way too cool!

Thank you so much, Speck. I concur in reference to the vocals. Kara and I do work well together. The ending is pretty far out, but my co-writer approved it, so I let loose the noise.

I love the ending.

Mind Map That! and I both thank you for seeing the merit in our music, to the point that you’d give it an editorial pick. May your guitar be blessed with perfect pitch for 7 years :)

Alex-

I’m thrilled that you like it. Your samples have been the backbone of many of my remixes. Funny you should mention early Black Sabbath, as I was listening to that when it was sooooo uncool. If one wanted metal there were such harder bands. However, I am interested in the history of music. Everything comes from something else. Black Sabbath were metal pioneers. It can be traced a bit further back than them. But I’ll decline, from writing a dissertation on the subject here. Thank you for reviewing, and for the sample.

Ah…. the Pixies. One of my fav bands. I think part of what might remind you of them in this piece is Kara’s vocals. She sounds a bit like Kim Deal. Joey Santiago is an influence on my guitar playing as well. Thanks for reviewing :)

Another cool overlap… love the Pixies. I hadn’t thought of them while working on this… but yeah, I hear it in your guitar for sure.

That’s one of the coolest comparisons I’ve been part of! Thank you, Hans! I, too, love the Pixies.

You´re welcome! But: Comparing is easy, doin the thing, thats art! Btw, How did you make your guitar sound like a laser gun? Thats incredible? You´ve got to teach me someday, please.

That’s allllll FB, I’m curious as well. :)

Ah….. You must be referring to the laser gun sound near the end. I used an old Ibanez DM 1000 from the 1980’s for that effect; The old type with the dials. There are no tempo markers or readouts, so I have to match the tempo by ear. Once that is accomplished it is simply a matter of experimentation with sample and hold. When I hear something I like, I hit the hold button and it will continue as long as I like.

Thanks for explaining. I had to look the whole thing up, never heard of a Ibanez DM 1000 before. First I thought was a guitar and got very confused. Now I know better!!! And came to the conclusion that vintage gear is really great.

We thank you, donniedrost!

Thanks, Zapac! We had fun with it :)

Thanks, Texas——- But you have to imagine it as a live band in a forest with wolves all ‘round the campfire. hehehe

Our thanks go out to you, Susan! So glad you like it. It started out simply, but once I heard Kara’s wolf howls… I felt the need to set and/or correlate the mood; so more instrumental intensity was added :-)

Many thanks, onlymeith! I have a couple of nice progressive songs in the birthing stage. Been waiting for inspiration, as I’ll not normally force a song. Thank you for the favorable review :)
