Description:
This song evolved based on limitations. First, my midi-keyboard crapped out on me, so I don't really have the usual software instruments at my fingertips. Second, my room sucks. Seriously. Awful. Its practically square and small, without lots of furniture and only posters and stuff on the walls. Meaning: the acoustics suck. I get this pitchy reverb that just sounds artificial and robotic. SO, this is what I did. I decided to mess around with only iDrum and create a stand-alone drum track. The I took an old song I wrote a while ago and recorded, playing around with mic technique, placement, and delivery to try to eliminate the effects of the room as much as possible. I ended up liking this take, although i have my qualms with it too. Basically I toned the delivery down (its usually more intense) and recorded very closely to the mic. A bit syllabic, but definitely less coloring from the room. As for the lyrics, its an old song I wrote, based on the inspiration of an English teacher I had once upon a time. She wrote a poem and the last line was "Find Beauty, Create Meaning." So this song is a tribute to her. Thanks Ms. Rini. This is the take that I thought was the least painful to listen to vocal-wise. Feedback would be great! Lyrics:
often I sit back and contemplate a couple questionsa single mind wanders through infinity with no direction its vexing, my mind and my senses be jumping to conclusions without making the connections is what I see real? or is it just reflections? some kind of twisted joke with sparkles and pyrotechnics? y yo contemplo este universo verso a verso, quedo alerto con mi mente abierto entre tantas falsedades busco lo que es cierto y tengo dudas cuando yo despierto que pasaria en esta vida mia? uso mi inteligencia para buscar una salida bueno, no una salida pero otro camino de repente puedo afectar mi destino amigo pues, quien sabe? you pregunto porque no tengo la llave ignorantes, hay bastantes pero you sigo iendo adelante bien desigualado es este mundo de ricos y pelados vienen y van, como ciao I call myself ElPeruano cuz I'm proud of my people and my culture, yo i'll say it loud but is that really my identity and how I define it? or is it where I grew up, influenced by my environment? is it in my blood and the genes that I was made with? is it with the people that I hang with? or how I be maintaining, acting out or behaving? is it what I really mean? or is it how I say it? I've been searching for the purpose with my verses coming to curses wondering if its worthless the surface is always decieving I try to cut through, find out what I really do believe in without rhyme or reason you've got to find beauty, create meaning "find beaty, create meaning" -Ms. Rini Hardware:
