A song on the first day of the month.
I am acting on a challenge from Derek to record songs with the sole instrumentation being one electric guitar track. I am also working with some new influences, which I won't reveal yet. It is a strange process for me to imagine myself writing in the style of something or other - because I feel compelled to NOT listen to whatever I'm emulating, so I don't copy. The end product goes through some bizarre filtration indeed.
I can't imagine anyone having worse songwriting disciplines than I do. Many times I will start out writing/recording one thing and it will end up as something else entirely. Now and then I'll pull up some old files and listen to discarded vocal, or even instrumental, tracks, and remember the completely different direction I had set out.
The technical details of this track: Driskill #61 through Roland micro-amp, or whatever it's called. It's tiny and awful but the only amp within reach at the moment. Guitar and vocals miced with Sennheiser e609.
