Scot Stoddard // "Tutankhamun" Production Mixdown Music Video

Welcome to the Production Mixdown music video for "Tutankhamun"! I've started recording a new album which I'm going to call "Valley Of The Kings", as it's based on the kings, gods, religion and culture of ancient Egypt!

I've decided on a 12-track album. I've written the first four songs, then I decided I will release one of the first four tracks as a single; then repeat that process for the second and third group of four songs. So 12 tracks in three groups of four, three singles.

As I've worked through these first four tracks, I've decided that the track named "Tutankhamun" would be the single from the first group of four.

As with my last album, "The Olympians", the genre this time, again, is progressive rock/metal. The difference this time is, 1: I'm writing all the tracks myself and playing all the guitars and bass parts. 2: I'm trying to be much more melodic and not necessarily over-complicate the tracks. There's also more emphasis on keyboards, synths, piano, and melodic and harmonic content. If a track is complex, difficult or heavy, well, it probably needs to be that, somewhat; but it's not the intention to make the tracks overly difficult or complex, or heavy, or long; it just goes with the genre that there will be SOME of those elements. Melody and harmonic intensity is the goal.

Mind you, this is not a final mix, or a very polished mix even; more of just balance things out, add some basic panning and effects. But I think you'll get a VERY good idea of where this track and the entire album are going. The first four songs are very similar in style. We'll see what the next four, and the next four, bring!

I hope y'all enjoy "Tutankhamun". I'll be bringing more videos from the production of this album, as well. Keep an eye out for the "Scot Plays" series. As I work through all the tracks, I'll be sharing a bunch of videos. Thanks for watching!
