Compo 02

My 2nd "full length" composition...
I wanted to release it before Christmas, so I had to rush it a bit in the end. As a result and even by my standards, I feel it's not as polished as it should.

I guess the main problem is that the main riff is slides only and I have old strings. I might change them in the new year and see how it goes...

Anyway I wanted to do something a bit smoother than my previous one, a bit more flowing. And at some point I thought it would be good to do a solo on a sort of bridge, something completely different from the main verse/chorus. So I came up with the sort of reggae middle bit. I'm not quite sure how it fits with the rest but I liked it, so I thought I might as well try.

So there you go.

Concept 13.

I'm still around...
As usual when autumn comes, I get a bit lazy. A sort of "why do I bother?" thing. It always passes. Also I'm trying to work on personnal stuff now, so I get to practice a bit more without recording.

And then when I tried to get back to work my bass inflicted a nasty blister on my index finger... Poor me... ;)

Anyway that made me listen to old shit I had recorded and surprisingly 1 thing I recorded around november caught my ear. Well nothing special really, just a bloated piece of solo looking for that 5s moment of grace that never really comes...

But I'm quite happy with the base riff and I tried to be a bit faster that before and the atmosphere is not too bad... All that for an impro... :)
