This is one that has been in the works for a long time now. Back in the middle of August, I went to the space to record a lot of samples. I got samples of the acoustic guitar playing a bunch of different chords at different volumes (loud/quiet) and different lengths (long/short). I did the same for a clean electric guitar as well as a distorted electric guitar. Then I got single notes from the electric guitar. Then I got my voice singing Aaaah, Eeeee, and Ooooh (short and long). Then I had them and I didn’t do anything with them until tonight.
This is the first of (hopefully) a bunch of things stitched together from these samples. This one’s a bit wacky but just go with it. Maybe another in the future will be kinder to your senses.
MAYBE NOT! Who knows?
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that “nothing will assuage” the Birthers. I’ve emailed back and forth with one and I believe that to be a true statement. I think this will continue to waste everyone’s time until the end of Obama’s Presidency. Maybe we can just ignore them. I hope so.
Nine of Spades is a road song. Road trips are awesome and I wish I was able to take more of them. I still haven’t done a cross-country drive and I really want to do it someday. There is so much to see and do basically anywhere you go. So, that’s what this is about. I did this at home with the acoustic guitar and reason drums. I finished the vocals at the space this weekend.
The Four of spades is my first foray into the wetter side of life.
I chose Tom Petty’s “It’s Good To Be King” for the first song to cover in The Deck. I didn’t start at Ace because I thought that King would be more fitting for obvious reasons. I did this at home with acoustic and electric guitar, bass, and reason for the keyboard and drum sounds.
