017 Open Again

Funny how equipment works when you pay better attention… nice when that happens, too. The song today is longer than other early ones, and is a vocal. The format (songwriter-speak here) is V-B-C-V which is a first for me. Maybe ever?

The lyrics will be posted… or maybe in the members area.

The free download mp3 file should appear below the word Attachment… first I have to trim off a few extra seconds at the end.

Tech notes: same HP laptop (Vista OS) with Sony Acid 7, a Behringer mixer for the mic, guitar effects using a Box DA5, vocal effects using Acid reverb, etc. Epiphone guitar played & recorded live (multiple takes), layered drum loops. Video clips mixed using Windows Movie Maker.


UPDATE: This video was another one posted in 2008 on Blip.tv, which was shut down a few years later. Luckily the video was also posted the next day on YouTube – embedded below:
