Just a raw old demo of an instrumental, recorded in fall of 2004. I am too busy working on other things right now but a lot of people asked me if there are some instrumental pieces. So this is it, I did a short basic mastering, have in mind it is just a demo, made with amp simulators. Song uses quite unusual time signatures, this was idea, to make it groovy and metal, but a bit confusing to the listener :)
I guess recording a bunch of instrumentals and have them out as all instrumental album is logical step sometimes in the future, there is a lot of unfinished instrumental pieces made along the way. But first thing first. More of instrumental stuff will surface later!

Self-explaining I guess. Some videos of me playing, for now some live stuff and Gary kramer Guitars demonstrations.
Entries for "Best 30 Seconds Solo Contest "
Short pieces made for this contest at Acid Planet site.. It was fun to make them.
Animalysis - Taming the beast, with unholy powers of wahwah and bare hands. :-)
Sand Eaters - Ethno, hypnotical groove and lead on top of it. Harem pass and sunglasses
included.
Just Blue - Beautifully simple. I could play like this in a loop for hours, and never get tired.
Too Nervous - 29 Seconds of groove and nervous soloing.
Jane Doe Is Leaving - Swell effect from my POD, delays, and dark mood. She is leaving.
Where You Are - Guitar solo (taken from the Vervil - U3 Materine, Jugoton Beograd 1998)
I always liked this solo. Album was originally recorded in 1996 but it took us two years to find the label that was interested in releasing heavy metal album at that time.
I can't belive! (taken from the unreleased "Gig Proof Trio" album)
Our friend that owns this club we used to play and rehearse often, came in while we were working on this song. He was stunned by it and just said "I can't belive" with very funny face, so we used that sentence as a name for a song. :-) This one is interesting to me cause it is standard guitar instrumental that was taken to another point by unusual arranging and drum patterns. This is one take, only one rhythm guitar track was overdubbed later, there are even some mistakes left in there and solo is kind of illogical improvisation so I wanted to re-record it at first, but everyone liked it so it stayed as it is. I think I would be sorry now for erasing it :-)
Funk Proof - Guitar solo (taken from the unreleased "Gig Proof Trio" album)
This is the middle part of this song. I like playing over shuffled grooves and I naturally tend to play more on the backbeat. Same as in "I can't belive" song , this one is one take of band in studio with clean funk guitar overdubbed later.
Nerazumevanje (Misunderstanding) - Guitar solo (taken from the Klinika album)
There are not many guitar leads recorded for this album, it would not sound right to play guitar hero lead in electronica/heavy/pop songs I guess :-) So I tried to make guitars sound unusual and interesting to listen, and give them hypnotic, repetitive form, so often found in synth leads in electronic music. This solo is nice example. I have also did a lot of programming on this album, some synths and a most of programmed drums.
This one was made on purpose. All guitars are processed with Amplitube amp simulator vst plug-in, , using presets that were made by Lady J. She's an artist and producer, and was about to start a commercial site dedicated to Amplitube plugin presets. She needed demo songs, and I came up with this one. Simple, but nice, I think, old school shred-alike piece. I was using some of her presets, exclusively.
