I sat down this evening to try and create something for this week’s FREE song of the week and this is what I came up with.  Variety is what you get here folks!!!  It will be REALLY interesting to see what this thing morphs into!!  Stay tuned…

Its hard to believe we’re up to week #24!  We’ve had songs all over the map so far, and this one is definitely a contender for being one of the most “out there.”  Some weeks the finished song isn’t very different than the original rough track.  This song however has been very evolutionary.  It started with some simple loops that I sent to Patrick.  Then he added some really cool ambient vocals.  We still didn’t have any lyrics at that point and Patrick had the idea of incorporating a poem.  Due to my (non)extensive knowledge of poetry I suggested “The Panther” by Rainer Maria Rilke.  And then there was more back and forth until we ended up with whatever it is we ended up with.  It was definitely an interesting process.  Enjoy!
