Tuesday AM

by David , August 15 2007 in: audio, esoteric

En route to the Yami of Yawn So, I woke up on Tuesday with this tune in my head. Staggering over to the console, I had a bash at capturing it before caffeine or daylight could dissuade me.

This particular approach to writing music is a mixed bag. The tunes we hear in our dreams are often earth shatteringly fantastic and emotive - but suck once you drag them into the real world. I keep a dictaphone next to my bed so that if I wake up in the night with an idea I can hum it and go back to sleep. 90% of the time the idea is rubbish or I cannot understand what my nocturnal mumblings are about.

In this case I quite like the result. Like much of my work, it’s not quite finished, but this is as far as I’m going to take it. I’d rather move on to something else before it becomes a time sink.

    Nothing like a kiffly woven 6!
    I like the boot stomping stuff - haven’t heard that before.
    Really nice feel.

    nice. film score afro celty… Also like the foot stomp . Gumboots would make a nice interlude. perhaps a noon gun or three and it would make a great Lions head sunrise theme track

    Thanks for the support, guys!

    And yes, Tracy, I keep them chained under the stairs. If they behave they may have gruel. :)
