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?

The percussive part is made entirely of sounds of my knuckles cracking (aside from the two handclap samples and two cough samples, which are both me as well).

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!
