another instrumental loop, the "bassline" is really just a guitar made an octave down by a Digitech Whammy pedal, like the "bassline" in The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army"
as night as night
basically just a completely improvised solo with fuzz, wah, delay, and a bit of oscillation at the end

Just to let y'all know most of these recordings are very old (some 4-5 or more years old). I'm working with some much higher quality equipment in my friend's studio right now and hope to have some good quality mp3's up soon.
Hello, my name is Erik Pieler. I've been writing songs since 6th grade. I've had short stints in bands around here but abandoned them all becuase no one cared, no one ever wanted to practice, plus they werent exactly the best musicians. Its hard finding a good band in a town as small as Lisle, Illinois. Only 600 people go to my high school.. I know there are smaller but... its still hard. Anywho... I love music and am not going to wait for a band to produce music so im postin it here, i hope you enjoy it.Band/artist history
well, i kinda went over it in my intro...Have you performed in front of an audience?i play open mics usually weekly, I play the fat bean in naperville pretty often.

Nice work dude! enjoyed listening to Stranger By The Sea - very good song. You might like my songs - have a listen some time. Anyway, keep it up - you're very talented.
wow, thanks alot. That's me singning. I first did a real quick recording of that song with just acoustic and my voice that I planned to redo, I just wanted to document it, but after listening to it, I realized it had a nice raw quality to it that I liked. I later added organ and some clean electric guitar to that same recording. once again, thank you for your comments, I really do appreciate them.
holy man ..... you're fripping insane with that guitar of yours .... who's singing on "stranger by the sea" ? i really love that song man ... it's beautiful ... reminds me of neutral milk hotel for some reason .... well .. i just had to come on here and tell you how awsome your stuff is , Erik
