uploading 9:46 to the scratchpad

there, that's starting to look a little more like something that's fit to call my own....

there's a first-five-minutes temp mix going up to the scratchpad. that first five minutes (no death involved, here) is essentially done. what's left to do is imagine the drum parts and then find a way to create them.

i went with a glitchy post-rock idm approach with this - the drums are live, but they sound cut up. i've always liked that. i've mentioned a few times that what ended up writing this track was some digital corruption that happened in the demo, and caused the guitar to stutter. i glitched up the bass and organ parts (bass especially) to react to it, and now i've glitched up the drums.

it's a strange combination, as it's sort of a "nice" track, but all weird and glitchy. that's something i always wished glitch would have approached with a bit more zeal. i mean, the broken equipment thing was fun and all, but why not break an entire song? few people really did.

i'm leaving myself open to criticism from the dimwits on this, but fuck 'em.
