I got one more song left to record for this new monster and I'm officially done. I can't wait for people to hear it. and it's nice that it seems like some people are actually anticipating it. Absence makes the heart grow fonder?
Anyway, I just did a 9 minute track that is definitely the most complex, challenging, abstract, and bizarre musical recording I've ever heard, let alone played on. It changes time, instrumentation, tuning, tempo, etc. on a dime, has about 80 different instruments playing, including some of Harry Partch's! I have spent the last 2 years writing this song and recording it was an epic bitch, trying to get everything to sound right. But it's all there.. sax and trumpet solos, a retarded ass broken drum machine that only keeps time properly when it wants to, a detuned fretless bass, detuned tremolo picked and finger tapped riffs, parts jumping from 7/4 to 4/4 to 3/4 to 7/4 to 4/4 to 19/11 in the course of a second or two, layers and layers of synths battling for supremacy, chopped up robot vocals, female vocals singing the same notes an acoustic guitar is playing, junk/trash can percussion, finger picking acoustic guitars, crazy organ lines. And that's just the first minute!
