Ace of Diamonds: Buzz Of Fahey

Filed under: diamonds,red cards — Tags: , , , — hewins @ 8:01 pm

Back in action! After a couple weeks’ rest and some much needed R and R, here is the next installment of The Deck.

This is some “electronic” “music” and is a product of my recording a couple of old John Fahey LPs into my computer so I can listen to them all digital-style. This is built of samples of the empty space before, after, and between songs on the record. There was a nasty 60Hz hum on it so I used EQ to focus that energy into notes. There is a little Mozart quote in the middle.

Note: This is a Diamond and it’s not a cover song. I thought, at the beginning that I wold have more time to do covers as well as originals but that was not “in the cards” for me. If I end up doing any more covers, I’ll make them Jokers. So, now I’ll fill in all the diamonds and hearts with new originals for the rest of the year. Enjoy!
