Chapman Stick is Way Cool!
Just had to share this with the world! This musical instrument is soooo innovative! I was surfing youtube for music to listen to, and my all time favorite group is Gentle Giant. So, I was search on that and found this Rob Martino guy that plays one of their songs. Cool. But, what he uses is something called a “Stick”. And, the sound is fantastic!
Now, looking further into it, turns out that this guy is one of the best at it that I could find. But, the instrument is still very powerful, giving a string player (actually called “tapping”) and ability to play many parts at the same time much as a piano player can. Well, I have played the piano for about 40 years and have been a “table top tapper” for as long! It is very exciting to consider the potential here. Unfortunately, you still have to adjust frets and bridges and torque and… okay, I would be one of those people who buy it but never really use it. But, I love the sound… listen to this!
Sometimes I like some heavy Pressure!
Listening to one of my favorite CD of all time… Burning the Process by Pressure 4-5.
Pressure 4-5 expresses the optimistic, positive, mind-over-matter sides of life with rhythms that range from depressing and melodic heavy metal to upfront rap-metal conquering the negative via uplifting messages.
Hard to find sounds but well worth it when found! I sometimes like hard hitting head banging rock, but dislike the morbid gore and death worshipping crap that so many bands adopt. Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie have some great sounds, but their motif sucks. This band pumps up the energy, but focus on positive uplifting messages, without dripping cliche Jesus Ass Kissing and such that goes too far the other end of the spectrum. Use this link and check it out… you may have just found something you were looking for too!
