Today I start a new series of videos on my YT channel, all dedicated to scales, in particular exotic scales.
This first episode is focused on the Indian “Pantuvarali”.
You're gonna find a detailed explanation and demo of all the positions of the scale, arpeggios, chords and related improvisation. In the next episode we're gonna go through some of the licks.
Mercuriall Audio has just released a new guitar VST plug in called "Ampbox" which collects 3 of their coolest amp sims, Reaxis, Euphoria and U530 in a new upgraded version.
Here's my first demo of it.
I am developing some presets for it as well so stay tuned!
About the featured song, this is "The Dance", last guitar playthrough from "The Seed" album by Dammercide.
About the Album
This 10-track instrumental prog metal opus represents three years of intensive creative work and marks my most complete musical statement to date. Every instrument has been performed and produced by myself, with guest appearances by Jay Parmar on "Pulse" and "Magnolia Ave" (solos 2 and 4). The stunning cover artwork is created by Mark Bridgeman.
The Title's Meaning
The title completes a full circle that began with my first EP "Evolution" in 2008 - this album represents the final chapter of that 17-year artistic journey. Beyond personal evolution, the title also addresses contemporary social themes: the unnecessary and potentially risky overuse of AI, cyber media, and information overload in our modern world.
First Single: "Undercurrent"
The album opens with "Undercurrent", a powerful metaphor for events unfolding in the shadow of seemingly larger occurrences. Written in 2020, the song reflects on significant historical events of our current century.
