Day 26 - Everybody Cut Bruce

Been trying to find ways to make harmonies musically interesting without adhering so strictly to the standard diatonic stuff. Expect more of it (or don't).

Day 25 - Harmonized Stuff

There are basically 4 segments to this riff, and I tried to harmonize each one in a different, but still metal, way. Huzzah.


















Day 24 - Snakey Death

I've been playing a lot of Castlevania lately. This is a side effect of that.

Day 23 - Carefully Chosen Notes

Usually I like at least a little bit of the whole "by the seat of one's pants" element in the stuff I write, but this time every note was carefully chosen. Spent all day on just the last 2 chords. Very satisfied.

Day 22 - Bonkers Rhythm, Broken Harmony

I really dig this one. Tried to create something dense using a few simple ingredients. One of the best ones so far, methinks.


















Day 21 - In A Harmonic Metal Mood

Been slacking on the riffs lately. Oh well. This is just some fun with A harmonic minor. Tried to make the melody section as actually melodic as possible. Can see this one becoming a full thing.

Day 20 - Picking Arm Death

I wanted something that sounded all fast and intense, but had some spaces left in the riff. Must learn to pick this more cleanly.
