"Nightmare in Dorian", produced with the working title "Emma", this track begins with a Victorian era Classically influenced string section, comprised of all guitars actually. 2 main guitar parts, 1 guitar volume swell high violin, 1 guitar volume swell med Violin, 1 guitar volume swell cello, and a bass. The violin and cello volume swell parts done in the song's very beginnings were produced using a Pitch Shifter and hammer-on volume swells with a Gibson Les Paul.
The rest of this song ROCKS!! It's made up of 2 guitar hooks, and through out the song there is a mix of odd and even time, and to make things even more complicated there are also 3 separate tempo changes, 1 of which is only 1 measure long. That said, this is one of the more complex songs I've produced for film and TV licensing in recent years.
The song's title stems from one of the modes used. The song actually utilizes several modes, Aeolian, Dorian, and Harmonic minor just to name a couple.
As always CRANK IT UP!! for the best wide stereo effect, and don't let the soft Classical intro fool you, I know sometimes attention spans are short here on SoundCloud and some of my songs that start out soft get less plays than ones that ROCK right from the get go. But there's something to be said for a little sophistication and build-up in songwriting, so give it a chance.
This song also has a killer guitar solo down the middle that moves through some paces. I actually improvsed this song's solo, I don't enjoy working solos out unless I have to. I like to just let them flow and come out as they will. In the end I think you guys will all dig this one for sure, but if nothing else this little "Dorian Nightmare" should and will take you on one heck of a journey through time, tempo, and feel changes.
