Tales of the White Stag http://www.whitestagmusic.com The 100% true account of the best progressive rock album I'll ever make. Mon, 25 Jul 2011 22:47:27 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 A Dream http://www.whitestagmusic.com/2011/07/25/a-dream/ http://www.whitestagmusic.com/2011/07/25/a-dream/#comments Mon, 25 Jul 2011 18:38:18 +0000 White Stag http://www.whitestagmusic.com/?p=156 The blasts of war shook her awake. Kali, young and beautiful, rose from her place of sleeping with a deadly smile on her lips. She laughed with the glee of a girl at play while the generals below smashed their armies against each other. Raising her arms to the stars, she called down fiery death upon the face of the Earth, and their sin was wiped away. The Universe will not tolerate fools. No one survived.

First drafts…never that great.

First up, Follow the Leader version 1.2 now features MIDI-sequenced mellotron flutes and strings rather than samples, plus an additional Les Paul layer of the main melody with a slight variation.

Follow the Leader v1.2

Next, Victory version 1.1 has new MIDI-sequenced mellotron flutes and strings, and I also added some compression to the acoustic 12-string tracks to make them pop a little better.

Victory v1.1

Lastly, NEW TRACK. The Ouroboros brings it all back to the beginning (and, for the purposes of the blog, clues you into where the beginning is).

Ouroboros v1.0

Then revise, revise, revise.

I completely scrapped the previous version in favor of something completely new, which in turn has gone through a few revisions. The old version will probably be recycled into something else at some future date.

Obviously, this won’t be on the album.
