w broken voice
I was sick this week, so I wasn't making music, but will be uploading a song as soon as I have one ready
i had the uncharacteristic urge to make a 12-bar blues this week... and so this is it, plus some extra bits. i wanted something with a sort of late 90s/early 2000s game soundtrack vibe, racing hovercars in the trash future.
A return to fingerpicking on the just-intonation microtonal Tele Deluxe. This one took two quick sessions, late Friday and late Saturday, with an editing pass on Sunday, I was lazy once again, doing guitar straight into the UA Volt.
This one started with the fast pattern you hear at the beginning, which shouldn't have been as difficult to play as it turned out--I was ahead of the bar lines, behind the bar lines, all over the place. Was this in some odd meter? Not that I could tell from counting it out. So I left the notes in place rather than trying to fix them.
Variations were a bit of a challenge, and I ended up varying the density and implicit tempo for different sections. Ultimately it feels natural.
There's the usual convolution reverb send for each of three channels and compression and EQ on the stereo out.
The title comes from Michigan's Port Crescent State Park, 587 feet above sea level.
Speedtrash!
Inspired by the sort of hazy sunshine you get at this time of year ere in the UK at least, warm and pleasant, with the trees still bare.
Never sure how much to compress these sorts of melodic drones, the one part sticks out a bit too much but it's always an experiment.
