Song: King of the Desert

“King of the Desert” is a new endeavor for me.  In experimenting with some new soundfonts, I’ve really wanted to bust out a powerful rock ‘n roll number.

This is what happened.

This chord progression has been in the back of my head for awhile, but until this song I hadn’t found a good use for it.  While I like the melody and structure of “King of the Desert,” the real masterpiece is the countless subtle effects used throughout.  The strum of the guitar, the pitch fades on the high power chords, realistic harmonics on the guitar solos (I’ve never heard a synthesized song use them correctly until this) – this song is a product of a lot of carefully implemented effects.  I love way it all came together.  Hopefully this song is indicative of a new style I’ll be able to put to good use in future compositions…
