SP Test Traxxx #2
Written by Omnicommie
This track is more of a finished work than a test track, but I was so pleased with its outcome, that I decided it deserved it’s own update.
One night, as I was enjoying a bit of night air on my back porch, I could hear my neighbor strumming three chords over and over again. Simple melodies always get stuck in my head on loop. It happens with commercials, creaking signs and cricket chirps. This time was no different. I went back inside and sat down at my computer. With the little melody in mind, I opened Garageband, plugged in my keyboard and started to play the chord with different voices. I chose electric piano, an instrument I play around with a lot. I recorded a solid loop for the keyboards and started to record the vocals. For whatever reason, the lyrics to this song came very naturally. They were all off the top of my head and to my surprise, work very well.
For a week or two, I played around wih vocal harmonies, hand claps and assorted drum loops. I had done all that I could think of, but the song was missing a soul and a skeleton. I instant messaged Eamonn, and asked him if he would work on the song with me. He did and it is more than I could have hoped for.
The end.
