Zweeback

Zweeback is a one man band.

 

I started music when I was 6 with the piano, then with a classical guitar at 11 (learning classical stuff and flamenco). I learned the basement of blues with a folk guitar. About 14, I found the Graal, a Fender Stratocaster that I never left for another one. 

I kept on composing and recording, first on a four tracks machine (Tascam portastudio 464), then on a computer when I found a job and build a homestudio piece by piece. (see below)

 

The albums

 

These are compilations of different explorations on my instruments : folk, electric, bass guitars, banjo, and virtual instrument strings and drums. It include differents styles, mainly folk, rock, pop… and country on the second album.

Every song is designed as a research, I mostly avoid to follow the rules : 9/10 of the songs are composed with an open tuning, different at each time. I prefer to feel lost and discover something than repeat over and over same things.

 

First album

 

My equipment :

Electric guitar  Fender (japanese one), a banjo Fender,  a bass precision Fender (japanese one), a folk guitar Epiphone
Rhythm box zoom Mrt-3 (prehistoric)
M- Audio Delta Audiophile 24/96
Sonar 4 studio & producer.
Mic Shure Sm57
Guitar effect processor  Boss GT 6
No speakers ( Pc was connected to the Hi-Fi, this explain this gorgeous sound)

 

Second album :

 

I took singing lesson for a year
I I tried to understand briefly how I could use those buttons supposed to modify the sound (I didn’t even use headphones to record)

Adds to the equipment :
Keyboard midi controller CME UF8
Halion string Edition 2
Groove Agent replace the rythm box
Speakers : Dynaudio BM5A

 

Third album (coming soon)

 

 

At this point, I try to find musicians to play with, but I fucked it up.

The good thing when you’re robbed, is that you are separated from a low quality equipment you would have never sold. Then you can upgrade. (Thanks to the burglars to leave the guitars)
I took a mac + logic express
Motu ultralite mk3 replace  the audiophile 24/96
Addictive drums + ezdrummer (I recommand addictive drums, 10 x better) replace Groove Agent
Mic T- Bone Sct 2000
guitar effect processor  Boss GT- 10
No, don’t come back, I moved.
