  • Red Roto

    Hey guys,

      We just put our newest song up on the player - Red Roto! Please have a listen and let us know what you think!!!! This is the first song we've done where we've utilized Logic Pro entirely and we are very happy with how it turned out.

    Stu explains his naming of this song:


    RED is one of my favorite colors. It’s meaning to me means power, fire, …etc.

     

     

    The word red comes from the Old English rēad.[4] Further back, the word can be traced to the Proto-Germanic rauthaz and the Proto-Indo European root reudh-. In Sanskrit, the word rudhira means red or blood. In the English language, the word red is associated with the color of blood, certain flowers (e.g. roses), and ripe fruits (e.g. apples, cherries). Fire is also strongly connected, as is the sun and the sky at sunset. Healthy light-skinned people are sometimes said to have a "ruddy" complexion (as opposed to appearing pale). After the rise of socialism in the mid-19th century, red was to describe revolutionary movements

     

     

    ROTO came to mind as one of the effects I like and was wanting to use on this song…

     

    The Leslie speaker is a specially constructed amplifier/loudspeaker used to create special audio effects using the Doppler effect. Named after its inventor, Donald Leslie, it is particularly associated with the Hammond organ. The Hammond/Leslie combination is now a ubiquitous element in many genres of music ranging from 1960s organ trio hard bop to the growling, distorted tones of early 1970s acid rock. Currently both the Leslie Speakers and the Hammond Organ are owned by Suzuki Musical Instrument Corporation.

     

     

    SO…..maybe Powerful Speaker is the meaning of Red Roto



    Enjoy!

  • Music Update!

    Current mood:excited

    Hey Guys.......

      Wanted to give you a quick update of what we are up to right now. The last few months we have been meticulously tweaking (obsessed????) with our first 4 finished songs so much so that we are about to go insane (that ship may have already sailed for 1 or 2 of us... ). Anyway, in the next few weeks we WILL have our final versions of these songs on our player for you to listen to. We are very proud of what we have accomplished so far .......and have 7 more songs that we are getting ready to record.......we can't wait to share those with you as well. Thanks a lot for your patience and we hope you will agree that all this hard work will have paid off! 

    Have an Awesome Day!

    Cheers,

    Eric, Stu, and Phil

    Hey........we have finally received our first song back from the mastering studio and are totally stoked about the finished product! We are constantly our toughest critics and always striving to get our songs as perfect in our minds as possible, which adds to the fact that this has been such a long process. But when you finally get that perfect recording to share with everyone......it makes it totally worth while. Hope you will enjoy this as much as we do. Sit back and let Sky Meets Grass take you to a special place!

    Cheers,
