2008. Off the album Summer, the rest of which can be heard online here (tracks along the right).
An original song, featuring my vocals, various guitar work and programming.
Also, the early percussion is me tapping away on a pot (re: Sifl & Olly).
It falls into a droning sequence at the end; I tend to produce wallpaper
music for making art or for while out on my bike - doing something other
than active listening.
Lyrics:
After all, it's all you get
After all, it's all you get
Call your mother
She's worried about you
And she'll listen when you lie
(She loves you more than that)
After all, it's all you get
After all, it's all you get
Call your old friend
He's so lost without you
He knows what makes you cry
(And he's okay with that)
Call your lover
Whoever she's with right now
And she knows how hard you try
(But she needs more than that)
After all, it's all you get
After all, it's all you get

that's just me singing with a slight flange
I like the interplay of harmony and dissonance, too -- of course the lyrics and tone leave a lingering, desolate feeling -- but I really enjoyed it.
I know what you mean by "wallpaper music" it does help when trying to draw or doing some activity.
I like this though, and the lyrics have meaning. Nice voice. ;)
i put a sock over it :) and did some clean-up with CoolEdit2000 (audio processing software).
I was thinking you had some kind of condenser set up in a soundproofed room or something, that's awesome.
means a narrow range of vocalizing (as you seemed to suggest) isn't being defensive
or insulted. I used your own wording as well. I tend to treat people the way they treat
me; if you feel free dish it but not take it without "hey come on" justifications, then I
dunno what that means about what you said to begin with nor how you think I'm
supposed to react.
You feel free to make a claim from your point of view about what you think black folks
sound like - and it has nothing to do with my personal experience being black, and so
I point out that perhaps you need to meet more black people because your presumptions
are perhaps little narrow. What am I supposed to say? I don't share your surprise at my
voice; it's my voice, it's normal to me and I'm black *shrug* Pointing this out isn't
argumentative, just like you pointing out your initial opinion isn't either, right? Am I supposed
to just accept your point of view because you have it - and let you define some aspect of
my existence as abnormal because you say so?
Just because you say "You don't fit my view of A" and I very simply suggest that's because A
is more complicated than your view, doesn't mean I'm responding to what I think is aggression,
just ignorance. When I respond that way, just as simply as you initially stated to me, why do you
take as aggression that needs to be defused with "LAWL" and "hey come on", etc.? If what I wrote
seemed challenging to you, what does that mean about what you wrote to me? And if I'm supposed
to take it without seeing conflict, why don't do the same?
Who would you call?
I called my mother.
