MaxdB's playlist...

MaxdB's playlist... Played guitar in a few little bands played in a 70's coverband, and loved drumming for fun later. Raised the band 'Undertow' (later U-Tow), you'll find most songs in my music list. I loved composing at home and then workin it out with the band, and the other members did contribute songs and their share. special thanks to: -Leen van Gijzen(voc. R.I.P.) -Rodney Werleman(drums) -Marcel Remmig(bass) -Hugo Sipkes(git) -Lawrence Payne(voc) I really enjoyed doing all the recordings with my Yamaha 44-16 dig. recorder and my laptop. All other songs are me and my PC, but that's another story, i like composing, playing and recording, and love to have feedback of any kind, tnx in advance. Max.dB (aka: Marco den Bakker) http://MaxdB.bandamp.com/ admin@bandamp.com Happy Valentine http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1502.html This song isn't about anybody in particular... :razz: just because of the name "Valentine" doesn't mean it's about someone with that name... I mean... that's just coincidental okay?! .... anyways, I plan to re record this song... I'd like some ideas from my fellow bandampers... please... go ahead, add ideas, please tell me if this song works for you, and how you'd like to hear it :) I'd love to incorporate all comments for a new version :) [i]ah hear the phone rings time for a night out fragile hearts await to break like glass on classy smiles and aerosol touch of plastic warmth enthusiastic spasms of a lovelife on the thresh of lifting off... she paints her face down with red and sticky glue wrapped around her eyes it looks like wings of butterflies look at all the flesh displayed all this ecstasy unveiled "run away with me," her body screams, "you will be pleased to please, please me" she's a happy valentine such a happy valentine kisses, hugs and funny talk electrifies the air look at her attention span, "what with who and why and where?" a gazillion pretty friends to give her all the love she needs in the centre of the universe she says: "it's just ol' silly little ME" it's a happy valentine such a happy valentine[/i] enjoy ;) please comment... I want to re-do this song, I'd appreciate any suggestions how-to an whatnot, I'd love to make it sound completely different!

Mon, 26 Jun 2006 16:44:01 -0400 You Fool, asFinalAsItGets http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6235.html I've got a sense of humour, right? Well, just so you know, the mp3 i've uploaded is actually an outtake, and not the real song. (it's close, but it's not quite the real thing.) You'll know the screw up when you hear it. The lead vocal cuts out after the messup. 8) Here's the real version, if you're interested: http://tonightslastsong.000webhost.info/mp3s/02youfool.mp3 (personally, i like the outtake one better.) (or, try out The Chipmunk Chronicles version found here: http://tonightslastsong.000webhost.info/mp3s/TCC/01youfool.mp3 ) I've been having the hardest time recording the vocals for this new version of the track, most probably because i'm downright sick of the song. I'm so tired of it. I've listened to it hundreds of times, revising it and picking it to pieces. My fingers are blistered. My chest hurts. I think I'm getting sick. Boo hoo, I know. But really. This is the 3rd full go against the vocal brick wall (for this particular recording of music). The vocals weren't excited enough for the last long chorus, and it sounded like I was retarded, so kept redoing them. They're better now, but i'm still not happy with it as a whole. I think I got a little too pop'y and bouncy with some of the parts... an overcorrection for my droning sound that I've fixed. So sue me. K, so the melody has changed a little. The reason for the outtake is because i accidentally used the wrong note, one from the old melody, and then realized it half a line later. Then it got dramatic. :D I'm aware of probably 98% of all the faults any of you are going to point out, but that's okay. I'm done with this! But of course, feel free to say anything about the mix that comes to mind. A scpecial thanks to Avi, for simply pasting a link to a page on musiciansfriend.com, which made me finally just get myself in gear and buy a cheap mic to improve the quality of my recordings. Thanks man :) [b]And You've Gone and Told Love's Secret (You Fool)[/b] [i]eff c version - the outake[/i] [u]verse 1[/u] I want you to come around I would never ask you anything to hurt you Open up, love You've got my heart, there You've got everything everything meaningful's wagered in your reckless game Open up It's love who's calling [i]knock at door, Boy responds with, "Who is it?"[/i] [u]chorus[/u] (Mmmm) The stage is a dance in Citadel And you, you gotta make it hard or sit it out Everyone is clinging to you, and I hate it and you hate it I would never tell you anything to hurt you [i]knock at door again, boy shouts, "I'm busy right now!"[/i] [u]bridge[/u] [i]Boy says, "One, two, three, four, One, two, three, four, *sigh* She's over there again...

Wed, 30 Aug 2006 15:07:33 -0400 Mental Trap http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1705.html Progressive Rock Song. This is the re-make of Progressive ( Demo). Now it has lyrics. I mixed many styles and influences to make it interesting to listen. You will find all kind rock styles, plus some samba and jazz and some ballad part. The song is long, but I PROMISE you WON'T get BORED. Really worked hard to make a good sound quality, considering my sources are just my electric guitar with a multi-effect, my $3 mic and my PC. Wanna thank to PuppetXeno, Sworfish and TritonKeyboarder who gave some advices to improve the sound of this. Guess the lyrics and vocals are not my strongest point but I did was I was able to. Please, listen it till the end. You won't get bored. And use headphones if you have, sounds better that way. > Iszil PS: Here goes lyrics: Let me take you to a place Where nothing can harm you No lines between pain and love Forget about the fear your feel Clear your mind and then enjoy Have the time of your life Music is the blood that Runs thru� your veins Feel it spreading all over you Warm rushing in Overtaking your senses Your soul comes alive! Run away Quickly Rush away And don�t return Life is now As it was then But you are alone You have no friend When you feel a knife Is stabbed in your back, Just relax cause it�s me Don�t try to run or to hide Cause you have fallen Into my mental trap DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!

Vote and rate it HIGH! > Iszil Mon, 19 Jun 2006 17:13:13 -0400 DPMB http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2595.html A few-years-old song. Mon, 29 May 2006 01:06:40 -0400 I KNOW http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/4723.html yeah, I know....the lyrics are cheesy, the vocals are pitchy, there are some grave timing and sound quality issues. This was the first song I ever attempted to write and record on my new digital recorder. The drums sound like somebody hitting on paper boxes. I played all the other instruments myself. I have had this song sitting around for a year or so, not wanting to upload it because it had too many flaws and it was intended just to get practice in doing this. I have since re-recorded it a couple times (added a verse, changed the pitch, etc). The chorus came to me in a dream...(I saw an old jazz or blues singer singing it) and decided to try to make a song around the chorus (probably not the best way to do it). I haven't made an attempt to produce it very well....maybe I will. I'm uploading it because a couple friends urged me to do so (do I sound non-committal enough?) Anyway, this helped me learn allot about the process (Man it took ALL DAY to figure out how to get it out of my hard-disc recorder and onto this site....how do you guys do this?). Anyway, here's a first offering.....I have other songs in the works....

Happy birthday to me :roll: I joined the club of "ancients" today :razz: This song is actually about how it is impossible to outrun the progress of time, not that the lyrics are that obvious but I had a lot of fun throwing this one together. Features a Boss DR 55 for drums, a Zoom 1010 for guitar effects and a Roland Space Echo on the vox. And that synth is an actual SID Station (Mos 6581 synthesis - Sound Interface Device chip taken from the 80's Commodore 64 home computer - gotta love it!) So please - the production value is just as I want it - except maybe for the mastering applied... It's a retro thing... I dunno... Just hope you enjoy!

Very immature I know, and the quality is bad at best, but I just want to get this 666th post done with and go on amping. Have fun y'all! :) Fri, 03 Mar 2006 16:48:29 -0500 Sudden Sunset(need voice) http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/3988.html The FL track of sudden sunset, of which I need a Bandamper to kindly donate their voice. To most who listen to this, it WILL BE repetative, because it needs vocals. Oh, and whoever does attach the vocals, either can they mix the tracks together before sending them back or post them yourself, or pass it onto someone who can mix it together. Hope you enjoy the final product, here's the, as of yet, non existent lyrics; V1 Far away I saw the sky, A thousand faces staring back at mine, Far away I saw them cry, The rain was falling down on mine, V2 And I went walking in my sleep, I started talking to a stranger, I gave him back what he could keep, A home that lay inside a manger, Chorus As you float away on hell or high water, You leave us all soaking and cold, And we live for you to be remembered, As you died for us to be free, And you my dear are not a stranger, You are just embedded in cold, You may rest now in a manger, You may rest, broken and old, V3 I lay here sleeping let me pray, The air is cold the sky is grey, I hope the rain will go away, I think the thunder is almost over, Chorus V4 I walk beneath an amber sky, I tread a ground alive with fire, I cannot see you through the smoke, You cannot save, in time we die, Chorus (in 4/4 time) Outro (in 6/8) I know I was broken and bleeding, I know you were gone, But I won't leave you coughing and wheezing, Under a setting sun, I know I was broken and bleeding, I know you were gone, But I won't leave you coughing and wheezing, Under a sudden sunset the sun is gone... P.S. Please PM me if you are interested, so I can give a direction to the vocals (not very technical, just basic, still allowing artistic interpretation). Wed, 10 Jan 2007 03:02:27 -0500 Suicide http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2719.html you might have heard me ranting about this one in the chat... the "dead end song" anyway, I guess... not so dead-end after all... or is it? btw... starts out quiet, but no worries :) btw2... 4:30 = boom btw3... 5:15 = BOOM let me know... Fri, 09 Jun 2006 03:12:06 -0400 March http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/3850.html This is another FL track, although, soon, I'll start fiddling about with the effects and such to make these tracks more interesting, I've got some VST's that I'm working out at the moment. This is the last FL track I'll release before I step it up a notch (although however, there is one last guitar pro track I'll upload later). If you want me to redo this one (nod your head), then I'll try spicing it up a bit, but for now, here's march as programmed on FL just for you! Enjoy!

Thought I'd share it with you, it's one of my more interesting lyrics I think... Anyway posting the lyrics aswell because I am aware that the vocals are somewhat buried in the mix... Well, if you turn the volume up real loud, which one is supposed to :) you kinda will understand why that is...

It's another digital track, this one was done on guitar pro, and the bass may be difficult to hear, but it's just for fun, playing around with a few riffs and melodies, chromatics, augmented and diminished chords. Enjoy! P.S I might have another experimental one on here soon, done in a 5 / 4 time signature... I'll have fun working that out on FL...

Mon, 08 Jan 2007 13:41:01 -0500 bear on speed http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/3005.html we did record this one as one of three takes. it will be realeased on our demo cd with 5 pieces in total. we did record it live in our rehearsal room, with clever microphone positioning. its didgeridoo, drumkit and kpanlogos, bass with some analog beautys as effects. its not mastered yet. as i saw everyone around here upload unfinished experiments i thought it would be a good idea to give you guys a sneak preview on the rough mix of a of an analogue birds song. hope you like it somehow:-) check www. analogue-birds.com for more p.s. would be great if you would make the effort to rate the song.

Fri, 01 Jul 2005 12:36:10 -0400 Sound of Violent Strings http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/3842.html There Is The Sound Of Violent Strings, the title taken from a piece I studied in music class called There is the sound of flutes and fiddles (or in german das ist ein floten und geigen, if I remember correctly). This is a digital instrumental, like all of the stuff I've put up, but it was the first piece I wrote on FL, and I didn't quite have the know how (and still don't) to make this a clear cut piece. It has a heavy bass that, when it isn't playing, just drines throughout the track. If you like it so much (lol) that you want it redone without that in it, please say so, or if you want a remix with something else changed (again, lol) please tell me. Who knows, maybe you can help me turn this track into something of sheer beauty (for the last time, lol). Enjoy, if you dare....

Don't hold on things they never last What comes fast you know it also leaves fast Just remember that it's all a phase, It's just 10 minutes of fame, 10 minutes of shame....

Mon, 19 Jun 2006 15:32:08 -0400 Three Blind Mice v2 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/3254.html So this is the second run at it... did add some bass, as well as a couple of other horns as pads in the background (trombone and mellophone)... I actually think the trumpet is sharp, too, but I haven't yet had time to re-record it. better? Wed, 30 Aug 2006 14:53:24 -0400 it was you http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1257.html go ahead let me have it Fri, 14 Oct 2005 15:30:14 -0400 Childhood Memories http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2509.html This is the reason i havent gotten round to finishing my remix of life goes on, Mr MP showed me the start of this, this morning and we've been workin on it all day, still got to be mastered but just looking for a general vibe on the song ;), i know it probably wont be most of yours' genre, but all feedback is much appreciated :) Thu, 18 May 2006 22:30:16 -0400 EncontraBabelSpecus http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2292.html This song was composed by me and my band "The Java" (thejavamusic.com, myspace.com/thejava). the vocals sounds kind of crappy but i will record it again some day. :) Thu, 20 Apr 2006 01:05:57 -0400 Station http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1953.html This is a co-production of me and PuppetXeno. I just played the guitar and the synth and he added the fantastic lyrics and drums. I really think its a great song because of Puppets work. I hope you enjoy it. Station so I've tried to live my nights in black and my days in sleep-in dreams but now it's cold along the metal trail where the hours on hours drip by too slow and the wind cuts through my coat as the lights cut through the rain as I ache with every sigh blinding thoughts they only dwell to strain I stepped up into the glass it was a scent that drove me here it was a kiss that put me back and I could not persevere and so I've lived my nights in black I lived to all my failing might and though the lights are closing now I shall try to stay aside Sun, 05 Mar 2006 06:25:06 -0500 Silverton http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1353.html An instrumental, 2 guitar parts+harmonica. Easy listening. From a demo album I put together in 2004. Recording quality OK, not great. Mon, 07 Nov 2005 03:29:28 -0500 to hell with it http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2088.html Here is another one we are working on. I wrote this song about justice and regret. I am not happy with vocal track but who cares I will fix it when I am not sick and have the compressor. I went to a place in my dark soul without a candle I had lost my way. There I cry. for years gone by and before it kills me I must numb the pain. With all of the lies, inside my mind In my rage I shall arise....to rule the world. Suddenly under siege of blinding light with words of terror streaming. They spell my doom, displace my throne and leave my conscience screaming. The bitter venom in my veins it gives way to fear and trembling and beneath His awesome shadow I brace to bear the death stroke You should tell the sea to drown me Send lightning down to strike me with famine you should starve me I curse you....yet you spare me! With coals of fire upon my head I know that justice wants me dead but perhaps if mercy knows my name.... Oh. remove the bloody curse of Cain To Hell with my woundedness To Hell with my woundedness It's the opiate of the damned Oh, now I understand. To hell with my woundedness. The opiate of the damned now I understand , to hell with my woundedness. and beneath His awesome shadow I turn into the bliss of grace, marvelous grace, Your grace, wondrous grace. You are my law, my love my delight crushing my rebellion with glory and might! Hallelujah hallelujah how good to be free. Free from rebellion hallelujah indeed. Mon, 20 Mar 2006 00:50:31 -0500 Church-Sessions 01 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/2316.html This was Recorded in a church, as you probably might hear. The Resonance was very useful, especially for the saxophone. Sometimes the recording is a little weird and noisy but I guess you can live with it. Its completely improvised over a Blues-scale. Keyboard, Cello and Saxophone. Have fun, gonna upload the second part later. Sun, 23 Apr 2006 13:40:02 -0400 Walls of Jericho http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/604.html This is one of our new songs on our new cd. hope you enjoy. Tue, 14 Jun 2005 01:19:28 -0400 The Habituary http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1968.html Dark - Its been a while since I have loaded a song here. This site is so cool. Tue, 07 Mar 2006 09:59:56 -0500 Casimir Effect http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1693.html Something I threw together using Logic 7 Pro (salivates) It's a piece called an 'ostinato' which means it has a short melody that repeats throughout the track. Probably the best song I got on here, definately easiest to listen to... Mon, 09 Jan 2006 12:52:48 -0500 Rocking Chair. http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1935.html This is from a band I played guitar for last year called the Rockman Lovers (we took the title from an Ice Ice Baby lyric). We whipped up this little diddy to put on our schools compilation CD and I think it's a cool mindless cliche rock tune. Jammed it out instrumentally in about 10 minutes. Overall it turned out decent its not the best peice of music i've put out by far but it was just a fun little project. We recorded it in my schools studio so its ok quality. unfortuneatly the engineers were kinda shitty so some of it isn't up to the potential that it could be with the decent equiptment we have their. Watch out for the ugly harminization effect on the vocals aswell. yikes. Our singer wasn't the greatest but he got the job done. Also if you like inuendos listen to the lyrics you might get a nice laugh (We wanted to see how much we could get away with before the teacher in charge of the CD caught onto what the meaning was haha). Thu, 02 Mar 2006 20:11:58 -0500 Your Bar Sucks http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/1823.html I should explain. This song is meant to be light-hearted, in a cynical kind of way. That is to say, it contains several curse words. This is not my usual style of song-writing. It started as a poem about a bar in my fairly small hometown. It was pretty much the only place for an original rock band to play, so they kind of had local bands by the throat. Didn't pay much, but they didn't have to. I changed the name of the song from the bar's actual name. (Coincidentally, the name of the bar is also part of a prominent Bandamp poster's handle, and I didn't want to accidentally offend him!) I played there several times in a couple different bands, and each time something bad would happen. These events are chronicled in the lyrics. Each time, the events would become worse and worse, and the pay became less and less (Not just for us - for all performers). So this song is dedicated to anyone who has ever been frustrated by the circumstances surrounding live low-budget performance. There's probably something in there that you can relate to. As one last caveat... It's not that I "hate" Metallica. Hate is a strong word. But I do resent the drunken sloths that come up to an original band at an original bar and demand that the band plays some Metallica cover. Enjoy! Mon, 06 Feb 2006 18:06:22 -0500
