Posted my new music video for "the Lion's Hammer" _________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVSQuZEf9HI _____________ I produced the video myself so don't be too harsh! _______________________________________ Finished editing and uploded my new oroginal song "The Lion's Hammer" I think it is a good example of my "Shredd Abilities" although recording it alone on my computer was challenging. I played every instrument you hear and programed the drums myself. I also engineered and mixed the song solo. In reality I was producer - writer - studio engineer - bassist - guitarist - song writer - and drum programmer. Damn am I multi- talented or what? Lol___________The song was written and recorded in less than a week. I sat down and was playing with the drums and next thing you know I had an idea and went with it._______________ Hope you like!_________________ A few weeks ago I recorded and uploaded my new song "8:40" at my house. I have been writing it since Aug. it seems strange the way I can struggle with a song for months and then finish it in a few days.______________________________ Learned and Recorded Rhythm Guitar tracks and bass-lines on the 4 new Dr O songs a few weeks ago. Recorded guitar solos for some Dr O songs! Mixes for "Yummy Robot" "Tag You're It" and "Remember Love" can be heard @ WWW.MYSPACE.COM/ODRO Check it out the new songs are somewhat of a departure from Dr O's normal writing._______________________________As of late I have been RECORDING RECORDING RECORDING!! I played most of the guitar parts (other than half the solos and most acoustic parts) including bass guitar (seeing as how Jason has been in Ireland for months) on Dr O - "091101" - "Dr o's Yummy Robot" - "Let's have some fun again" and whatever other songs were recorded since Jason left the states. ________________________________I am also working on recording 8+ of my original songs.__________________________________I recently worked as a Television producer in south Mississippi. Producing a television show about High School football is a stressful Job! (Most Coaches are worse jerks than musicians! )_____________________________________________As far as the music goes, the songs for the new Dr. O CD are sounding better than ever.____________________________________________________Dur ing the past 2 years I have recorded a lot of guitar tracks and acted as a recording/sound engineer (solving hardware issues in the studio /practice room) with the band Dr. O. and recorded several of my own tunes.___________________________________________I toured the east coast with Dr. O last September. We played live at the Locobazooka Fest in Mansfield, Mass. USA w/ Queensryche - Alice Cooper - Black Sabbath and tons of other great bands. The tour also included a live show in Lafayette Park Across from the white House In Washington DC on (9/11/07)___________________________________________________ ________I produced everything you hear on this page.------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- Stay Cool--------Mike
