so, this is what i'm working on this week.
it's another song from 2001, but it was written to be a stadium rock anthem, which is dramatically different than the other things i was doing at the time. the change in direction was due to working with a guitarist that was into more conventional, aggressive rock music and wanted to start a band.
that band never actually happened, and as a result the song never really got completed.
i don't have scores of this, but i do have the original drum tracks. there's going to be two mixes. the raw mix is what it would have sounded like if you were eavesdropping on me in my basement over the summer of 2001. i write so much stuff on guitar, and then take it in so many weird directions. the result is that a lot of the actual songs get lost in these hazes of production and weirdness. i've decided i should try and create as many of these stripped down guitar mixes as i can, to actually get the songs down somewhere. at the end of the day, there's going to be an audience that isn't going to be able to handle the 35 minute version of these things with 15 minutes of psychedelic loops but may enjoy the raw, seven minute psych punk version. if you see what i'm saying.
the second will be the fully complete track, which i'll be doing over the course of the month.
this raw guitar & drums mix is an accurate representation of what
the track sounded like as i was writing it in my basement over the
summer of 2001. this contains one guitar part with no overdubs.
track written summer of 2001. drums from 2001. guitar recorded aug 3, 2014.
