i'm really glad to hear that i'm alive too! B^)

going through old tapes has kept me occupied, and derailed my current train of thought. this new tune was influenced by some old ideas...

i've also been staying away from MacJams a bit lately: i felt i was becoming too obsessed with it and needed some space...

thanks

like that critter.

Getting into the shades of early Genesis and ELP. Holy be thy prog!

the chord progression and the high pitched sequencer-like thing was generated randomly using a little home-brew program to make MIDI files that i then fed into GarageBand. I tweaked the last chord to close the loop better.

the critter refers to something definite.

thanks for listening

the voice comes from a recent presidential radio address (Mr Bush). i did not listen to it. instead i played it backwards and cut out interesting sounding snippets (like sacrament).

when i was all done, i played the song backwards and almost busted a gut when i found out what the snippets actually were.

oh, and sometimes i like to think i look like a short bank executive.

thanks Steve!

perhaps the "twist" is simply that i prefer to explore musical spaces where "no man has gone before"

I once had a conversation that went a lot like this! But I don't take that stuff anymore....

Pretty darn creative Bill. Love the musical build-up. Interesting array of sounds and effects. Love it!

Eclectic, at best. I learned some music theory at school, and read a ton about it since. I've listened to lots of music over the years. I once played guitar in an actual garage band and actually got paid to play! Once. Although live performance is an... [see more]
