Lunacy!

Well, I can't say I've kicked off '08 quite the way I've wanted to, but everything seems to be peachy at the moment. So a few nights ago, the night before I left to go out of town to Hilton Head (I don't even want to get started on Hilton Head, so I won't) I reunited with a good friend of mine, one Nick Dowden. Nick and I used to jam together and were in the process of forming a band when the fat fuck had to move out of town. Fortunately, he's only a few hours away and thus has the opportunity to come into town on occasion, though not as often as I'd like.

Anyways, I was showing Fats around my (very meager) music recording shit and we started playing around with the MIDI keyboard. Before long I had accidentally come up with something mildly cool; really just a phrase. I told him to start playing shit on the keyboard with me and about three hours later we had about finished a 1:15-long track (I wish it were longer; I might have to make that happen) that is very odd and features: a Koto run through various flanges and shit, a completely unrhythmic timpani that sounds like it features two two-year-olds (one trying to tune it and one banging on it randomly), some computer noises, and (my personal favorite) Nick making weird whispers and gutteral noises into the microphone.

I present it to you here. But be forewarned, it's fucking STRANGE.
