polara Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 https://bigtakeover.com/news/VideoPremiereMyNaturebyIAmaRocketship That's the article in an online music rag. Here's the video. Guitar was recorded on a Hamer Monaco Superpro that, ironically, I traded for the Ibanez I hold in the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixesandsevens Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Very cool. Congrats on the video and the press! Not that I don't love a good Superpro, but that Ibanez looks alright too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been a particular fan of the brand but they sweated making these ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem like a direct reply to Suhr's inroads against the fusion demographic, so I assumed they'd brought their A-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you sir: it's amazing what a quality mic (Aston Origin) and interface (Audient id44) will do, even run into lowly Garageband. Helps that missus Polara has a nice voice I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polara Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Thank you for your kind encouragement. Our daughter, who just turned 13, directed it. She’s a pretty great artist - I have a degree in studio art and she’s already surpassed me - and had no problem telling us how to stand, lighting problems, expressions, etc. Then I used some stock footage to get the whole “band cropped close in a pen, animals, predators” thing. Edited it in Premier Rush because I still get overwhelmed in a Premier Pro sometimes. Camera was a Fujifilm x-e1 with a 27mm f2.8 lens. Couple of LED light arrays with the color set to something cool, I don’t remember. Also used my iPhone XR on a motorized gimbal. Audio... the aforementioned Aston mic and Audient interface, GarageBand, and software amp sims. I do a lot of mixing a digital track, exporting as a WAV, then running it through a bunch of EQs and filters and doubling stuff with barely different delays to keep it from sounding obviously GarageBand. Drums especially, I might use a different track and sound and EQ for each drum and sometimes double snare on two different kits. Some of the harmonies I “forced” to be a 6th instead of 5th to make them sound weird. The whole album has very few tracks, and can be performed live more easily than the last album (which was overdub-happy) but each track I sweated over.

mightymole Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hey Polara great song. If you have not heard other songs from I Am A Rocketship, do yourself a favor and check them out. Great songs, guitar work, and Eric's wife has the voice of an angel. By the way I love the Superpro, glad you like the Ibanez. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 That song sounds like part of a movie soundtrack when the bad guys are doing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
