Listen "Ed Wood: First Draft (piano and minimal beat)"
Episode Synopsis
Yes, we're still alive! Although our internet presence has been more or less comatose during the past few months, we've actually been quite busy and productive. We've hired Bill Scott, a friend of ours with much better ears and much better equipment than I've got, to mix and master our album. He's done a first run through for seven out of eleven songs and I am sincerely excited about how everything is turning out. More on that as it develops.
This is the first song I've written in a while. Since I didn't have my recording equipment readily available today, this is actually a midi track. And since midi tracks sound thin to me, I added some distortion to give it needed color. The final version probably won't be distorted at all. I called it "Ed Wood" because I just re-watched the Tim Burton film of the same name, and it seemed to fit in a weird way. It's like naive optimism trying to persevere in spite of everything pulling it down. Hope you like it!
