Song: Can't Sleep So Tired
Session Date: October the 20th 2006
Recording Gear: Tascam 488 MKII used as a mixer; Behringer C1 condensator mic; pc - Audacity
Music Gear: Yairi Spanish guitar; pc keyboard drum program
Log: This is not a song, but more like a musical fart. I've always shrunk back from recording large experimenting sessions. The idea of just letting the tape run and play and sing whatever comes to mind is of course to catch ideas or perhaps even find ready made diamonds among the junk. But I'm afraid I'm too much of a perfectionist for that. Anyway, I do think it's a good idea to force myself into doing this, because loads of good ideas have already gone to waste simply because I forgot them.
So, yesterday I pressed 'record' in Audacity and played whatever came to mind. The cool thing about recording with a pc is of course that you can save loads of recordings to harddisk. Anyway, I picked out a short piece of guitar and vocals, added a stupid pc keyboard drum, put a wahwah over that drum, duplicated the guitar and vocals track and added distortion to the dup. Et voilà.
Lyrics: (Just wanna do something and see what comes..) / I, I don't know what to say now / 'Cause I'm so tired / Well, I can't sleep / 'Cause it's still light
