Progress Report

So far I have six songs recorded and mixed for the "album"

I have a few more to actually record and a few others to just get off the tapes.
Oh yeah, and the semesters over, I am now Andy Swanson: Associate.

Here's the audio from the guitar performance the other night. Big thanks to my professor Kevin Garry for playing a couple duets with me. It was loads of fun and he is a guitar wizard. I know I said the audio was good last post... What I meant was it's good in the fact that you can hear it. It's pretty crappy, but it adds a homely effect of white noise that sounds like an air leak. Thank you $1 tape recorder from the thrift store.

First we played Lost Woods from Zelda; that was awesome. Then we played a blue grass song called Old Joe Clark, which is amazingly fun to play. Then I played a song by myself. It's a song I've been kicking around for a year; no title or anything. There's a bit of a struggle or tension in it, chopped into an introduction, a beggining, a middle theme, an end theme and then back to the middle theme. It's a strange song, lots of white noise (which is my favorite thing to do).

Enjoy.

Starfucker

Finally got a decent setup to get my music on the comp. I'm planning on making an "album" of a bunch of tracks. So far I have this one, Starfucker. It's 9 minutes of heavy effects and spacey music. The name doesn't have anything to do with anything. I think it's a band or something? I heard it once and thought it would make a funny name for a song. The song is cut up into a few parts with a main theme that keeps coming back. It starts out very bright and joyful then gets hazy and dark.

I took the picture a year or two ago when it looked like the sky was on fire out my window.

Oh and I have some audio from the guitar performance last night (thanks to my brother who hit the record button on my piece of crap tape recorder). I'll be posting that soon. Good stuff.
