Airship Overdrive

Airship Overdrive is a guitar-centric video game cover project spearheaded by Ryan Laney. All pitched parts are performed on live guitar or bass enhanced by various effects pedals ranging from common (overdrive, delay) to the truly bizarre (PPL fuzz, slicer tremolo, synth simulator, pipe organ simulator). No loops, MIDI, or virtual patches are used for these parts. With minimal post-recording edits, Airship Overdrive strives to bring a natural human element to the world of video game music.
