Lest We Forget...

Description
I post this as an exercise in impressionistic musical interpretation. This is a new interpretation on the tired cliché of waking one morning to find your goat straying from its pentagram, each and every one of your sacrificial virgins deflowered by a Vespa salesman from Boise named Larry and your golf cart parked in your swimming pool. Dedicated to Hunter S.....yeah, why not.

I've taken to whistling this little diddy down the halls where I work which I think explains why I've had little eye-contact of late.

Mostly loop-based but featuring a blistering solo on the PCR-30 Edirol slap-piano.

Thanks. I was trying to use some unusual sound combinations. I'm not sure
I'm entirely thrilled with the mix yet - I listen to it on various speakers and
systems with different results.

electro shock therapy for the virgins?
i like the feeling of fuzzy, choppy, scratchiness, & spooky
playfulness. the little ditty at the middle was goofy cool

do you remember the sound of the needle scraping at the
end of an album? this sort of ends the same way. i haven't
heard that noise in a looong time

Thanks for your feedback! I know what you mean about nostalgic scratches. I
remember when CDs hit and everything sounded 'wrong' missing the pops
where I remembered them from my vinyl!

I liked the dissonance of this piece and was going for something a bit
unnerving. I've been on a melodic analog kick lately and this was a
divergence.

Very cool!
Glad you liked it! Not destined for any top 40 but I like this one too. Did alot of experimenting with sounds and effects on this one. BTW - that is an unattributed picture of my niece.
