don't know if this is the right place, for this, Mods please move if neccesary

I was inspired to fire up a computer that has lain dormant since 2008 to get this online,

partially out of guilt that I got my claws out when someone mentioned Def Leppard which was not fair on the boys, and especially as someone the posted Love bites video

partially inspired by the other threads about quitting music

This is what I used to do before I "quit " the music industry

this was what was on the screens behind the band on their 2005 greatest hits tour

Its a live video mix using two operated cameras which I was calling, and 5 static Lock-offs, this was layered using two video mixers (one operated via a midi footswitch) with live triggered video loops(the stuff from the music Video) and realtime effects (the lensflares) again all live triggered.

Its a live mix i was most proud of as evidenced by it ending up on my showreel

this is the recorded output of what went to the screens, the audio is a line out from the sound desk.
This I think shows that they are soo much better live without all the overproduction of their records, and puts lie to the claim they couldn't do the harmonizing vocals live.

Also of note is the Coda, Viv Cambell is an amazing guitarist, but he is constrained throughout the show to replicating Steve Clarke's Solos almost note for note. the outro for love Bites is the only place in the show where he is allowed"off the leash" I used to look forward to it as every night for the whole six months, he did a different, amazing , improv solo

enjoy it now as it will probably get taken down by their management

I'm not a moderator, but I think "post your music" can include "post your live music video work"

Thanks for sharing, that was great. And not many of us have had the chance to have our work enjoyed by 10000 people at once.
If I had done live video for Def Leppard I would probably never shut up about it!

Were you on the 2006 leg of the tour? I think that was when I saw them at Jones Beach with Journey. Great show.

Nice, and technically, still meets the criteria... I only ever saw them as spotty oiks, in support roles, pre Coleen (who I saw a few times with Girl and got a decent set of pics at the Marquee)... Campbell I only saw with Dio...

Our new album is released the 15th of December so no music yet but a pic of the cd.

We wanted to release a vinyl with a cd but the pressing plants are overworked so the vinyl has to wait for a little longer.

Music links coming soon.

Looks good!

Pekka · December 14, 2015, 12:10:10 PM

Here's the whole album:

Should be on Spotify very soon and of course if anyone is interested in buying a CD I'll be happy to help. Just PM me.

A video for "Faces", a slightly deranged surf instrumental from the new album.

Basvarken · December 18, 2015, 08:02:21 AM

Love it! Great video animation.

The song has some elements that remind me of Steve Vai "Little Green Men".
And Rush "YYZ", especially the bass sound (is that Rickenbacker bass you used for this one?).

No, it's my Tyyster Telecaster (like a '68 Tele) and P-bass for the middle part. There's also some distorted fretless Aria SB700 in the middle ssection and Yamaha CS-5 synth.

Ricky was used on this song:

Which also has some Waterstone TP-2 12-string bass in the end section...

Great Job Pekka, especially with the fast pickwork on that Faces tune. Cool vid too.

Agreed! I'm really impressed with the playing! (And the animation, it's really good....)

Thanks, though I have to admit that I used a delay for that bass riff and for the whole song. The riff was composed using a delay and is quite impossible to play without one. At least for me.

And while we tracked the drums the bass delay was a bit off so I had to overdub all the bass parts except the middle section and play the line without the delay so we could add it later and sync it good to the click track. That took some time and thinking too.
