Here's a new little instrumental bit that might sometime become a song.

Summer Is Almost Here

When I write instrumentals on the acoustic, inevitably the end up sounding something like this.

I set up two mics, an Sm57 about 1 foot away from my cheap Yamaha guitar, and the M-Audio Nova about 2-3 feet away. Then I recorded several one try passes playing various little chord/solo bits. I ended by layering a pedal-y tone type organ sound on the Casio keyboard.

I'm sure I could make a living as a new age acoustic artist of some sort...

Here's the song:

2007-12-09 Instrumental: Did I Steal This From...?

...that one band? Uh...what's their name?

Seriously, I can picture the band I stole it from. The beauty is, most people won't know I took it. But I confess now in advance that I realize after the fact that I most likely stole it unintentionally from...

**edited on 12/28/2007** The band was Built To Spill. I'm pretty sure I must have ripped off something from their album You In Reverse.


I can't remember. But there last album looked like the drooping clock paintings that Van Gogh. Wait. Google says that would be Dali. (See accompanying picture).
Whatever.

I just had fun playing bass, drums, and guitar.

2007-11-15 An Instrumental Thing

It's not really instrumental in the sense of there being only one instrument played well. Instead, I'm playing several instruments poorly to make a louder noise.

I just had to try and record the idea. There's a whole other part to it, but it wasn't interesting enough to bother including.

Enjoy!
