. Go to Peices (Acoustic Cover Video)

Raum gave feedback to Raum for “Go to Peices (Acoustic Cover Video)”:

Funny looking back on this.

I was 21 and young. This is around the time I started mastering being able to play though full songs.

Also my old fender!

I sing this song A LOT different now. I should record one for comparison. I have come a long way, for sure.

Africa wins again! This is what I call low budget unlimited. You used your ingenuity and people skills to make something out of nothing. Again!

. Falling

Gabrielle gave feedback to Richard Shekari for “Falling”:

I like the video a lot- simple but kept my interest. Very pretty sky and landscape. The song is great. How many "breaking news" stories do you have there?

Thanks so much for your kind words, Gabrielle.
The "breaking news" are made up stories.

The breaking news are to simulate "fake news" and real news Meant heighten tension in the society etc

Easier than you might think. Especially for a talent such as yourself. Now who made the vireo with you?!

ah you know what's it like when your budget ain't big and you got your affordable instruments... You do your thing yourself.
which is exactly what I did. Just got a couple of chums told them my plans, I we set up a day, stormed two locations...not far from the hood, told them what I wanted and we did what we could.

To answer the first question... I directed it 😁 can't afford no director, not with the way the economy is falling off of Niagara Falls in this country of mine

. After Darkness

Rex Yehudi (shoham) gave feedback to Richard Shekari for “After Darkness”:

I'd like a live version drum track, but it's a heck of a song my friend. Very inspirational & well produced, written song and video narrative. Did you get the raw footage or did you have some outside help?

. level

tawmy gave feedback to WalaWalaWala for “level”:

nice rhythm chops
sweet electric fills
I like the lyrics ...
I was born again to live this dream
(my interpretation)
emotional vocals

tip: after recording whistling, (nice whistling by the way), hopefully on it's own track, you can eq out the blowing wind sound which detracts from the other instruments playing at the same time, and the track itself

before recording: try some wind baffles for your mics

good stuff ... reminds me of alt british/aussy rockers (unplugged) i used to listen to ... and still do

tawmy, thanks for the insight on the production. If memory serves this track was done on one take. Kudos to Kelly Barnard for making this video also! Thanks again, and consider a free download: https://www.feed-forward.net/a.1095

. Only Posers Fall In Love (Music Video)

Gremlin gave feedback to The Airvents for “Only Posers Fall In Love (Music Video)”:

I enjoyed the video a lot.

My one criticism would be that the drums could be tighter, but I am an awful drummer myself so have no real room to talk here. Actually a good live performance

A strong early Brand New vibe in the song with a bit of Blink thrown in. Good tune

Thank you!
I'm actually the guy with the goofy face in the thumbnail of the video. This was my band way back in high school, I would take it down, but there is some issues with the login information. Now it just floats here in digital purgatory.

This was written during a time where skateboards and Blink 182 was my religion. There is a much cleaner version I made back on this current page. If anything, it makes it even clearer as to how badly I was ripping off my childhood idols.

Understand there. I have a bunch of old shit on myspace bc of similar login issues. Luckily no one goes on myspace anymore hah.

Not a big deal aping your idols. I think everyone does it until they become comfortable enough with their craft to really start searching for their own voice, creatively. My earliest stuff from like 10 yrs ago was pretty much straight up folk, derivative as hell. Over the years though I begin incorporating a lot more jazz and rock influences in my writing, which has helped me break out of that mold. Lately though, I have been returning to my early roots to write more simple tunes that are more direct and straightforward, without monkeying around with minor 6s and diminished chords

That seems to be there very thing I have been battling the past year or so. For awhile I was aiming for a sound, but I was skipping steps. I was recreating rather than incorporating, struggling to find "my sound". I even set the guitar aside for a stretch and dabbled in some hip hop and rap haha. It was fun, but it wasn't very cathartic. This spring I decided to shut everything out, put the pen to paper and write. I think I found my voice. Seems to be similar to what I had before, but now I've got a better idea of what I'm doing.

Sometimes you have to take a step back to take a step forward. As an artist you are constantly changing. I personally dont even listen to some older stuff of mine as I find it embarrassing, yet I have friends who think thats my best work. I think the goal for me is to continue trying out new ideas and mixing them with the old, and further defining my sound
