so we are 90% done with a bus called further and the changes that need to be made require a bit more recording, we thought we might get at a second song, "american loser". these songs are pretty different in tempo and arrangement so a good way to keep a cohesiveness to it all is to keep a similar tone for most of the instruments. that also makes things a little easier. rory and i edited a few (15-20) secs off either side of a 7 minute song - for now - to keep it moving. it's a slow-to-mid tempo song with a lot of samples, many from old television commercials that have been worked into the correct key and tempo (by scott). the cool part of this song is that it's actually a song with a 3 minute build up at the end which, musical, isn't anything like the rest of the song. it was super fun to play, now we just have to make it listenable.
the last week or so I've been listening to steely dan, why? (thanks rory), eric dolphy, the first and third peter gabriel solo records and that damn frankmusic song.
