Another 4-track guitar piece. I keep thinking to do something very spacious and minimal, something barely-there...but once I start writing parts against other parts, the pieces tend to fill up. There's still a bit of space here.

As I've been doing lately, this is just PureSalem Mendiola into the UA Volt 1, with some convolution reverb on the tracks, as well as the Wide and Warm mastering preset from Ableton.

This marks the 500th weekly composition I've done since joining the 2014 Weekly Beats project. That's...a lot of music.

The title comes from the model number of the old rotary telephones: the Western Electric 500. (Had I known the title in advance, I could have tried tracking with a little Western Electric amp I have...but I write first and do titles later.)

Thank you for listening (so far)!

Well maybe not, that was probably 2007 around here, but it's been pretty wet.

tis a thing

A half finished bossa nova jam with some breakbeat and brasses.
