Here’s a tune a wrote and recorded in about 2017.
All music was performed and recorded in my bedroom.
I sent it to friend in Ohio and he wrote lyrics and sang.
Very Bowie like imho.

Cool. Bowie with a touche of Zevon maybe...

Re: “It’s An Illusion”
Saying performed everything is a lie.
I didn’t play a single note.
I used all virtual instrument plugins and plotted/mapped chords and programmed drums.
EZdrummer, EZbass and a guitar plugin thats name eludes me now.

Re: “It’s An Illusion”
You're smart to embrace that technology. The song sounds great. Is the vocalist a real dude? He's good too, tho he sounds pretty aged like his voice is about to go.
As a musician I don't care for the technology that can turn anybody into a songwriter and now with the Advent of AI I'm curious if it will be so effective that it will make the uniquely creative person obsolete.
Either way, I believe that AI is where the future and opportunities will be aligned with.

Pretty good stuff. I hear bowie, but It also sounds like an outtake from one of the GnR Illusion albums.

I played with this singer in a band called “Straight Up” back in 1994
Here is set 2 of a night in 1994.
Set 1 is also on YouTube as well.

I think I actually sing a few here too. Maybe Neighbor by UKJ and a Lemonheads tune.
As far as the plugins….I started using those as a way to demo tunes without anyone else around

Re: “It’s An Illusion”
Awesome! Did you have a sound effect for Pussycat? Or are you singing that? It’s cool your drummer has a double bass kit. Good covers for that time period. Pretty cool footage!
