Composition 1

Composition Ideas
Me, Cameron, Cody
Guitar and Drums Instrumental

Part 1
We started writing with a epic, riff driven song in mind. Cody started us off with an amazing intro which has a very dark and gloomy vibe but also very empowering. We then started experimenting with harmony leads which sounded very good and fit the intro well and extended on what we already had. We also started developing drum ideas to go along with.

This week we will work on the verse and chorus riffs and ideas, and maybe think about writing some lyrics. We will also write some more drum parts focusing on the cohesion of all the instruments making sure the song flows well and we are all plating in sync.

Part 2
This week we wrote a couple of more riffs for the song and now we are thinking about how to tie them all together, repeating them etc. and also changing the dynamics of the song to make it slower and softer for the next section. We have written drums for about half of the riffs and they are sounding very good. At the moment we are focusing on practising the parts making them as tight as possible so when it comes to recording we know exactly what we are doing.

Part 3
Basic guitar structure is complete just need to repeat the riffs and figure out a backing riff for the awesome solos me and Cody wrote. Drums are progressing very nicely we have about a third of the song done for the drums and they are sounding very good. We are in the process of writing lyrics and the working title for the song is "Slice" but Cameron came up with the name "From Hell I Write" which we may use as it fits the lyrics very well.

Part 4
Guitar parts are completely finished, drums are nearly done just a few finishing touches here and there me and Cameron worked on the drum parts while Cody played the riffs to make sure the drums really added to the song and we ended up splitting the drums pretty much 50/50 same with the guitar work between me and Cody. Codys solo is amazing and fits the style of the song very well. Cody has been working on some lyric ideas which we will work on after we have practised the song enough that it is tight enough for a first recording and then we will do vocal melodies and figure out if we are doing vocals and who will be brave enough to actually to do them.

Part 5
Song ended up being named, From Hell I Rise, started writing lyrics and this seemed to fit the lyrical content better, Song is now finished, at this point there will not be any vocals, but I have found a few possible ways of putting vocals on whenever we get around to recording this track and our other songs.

We will be performing this song sometime soon, for the school, so watch out!
