I realized/think that in the last demo I posted here I accidentally lifted a section of an REM song. This fired up the internal critic and pretty much shut me down for the month. This song started out as a joke about what that feels like and then became about the decision to just roll with it anyway and see what happens. Also a joke about a super-extended mix of Crimson and Clover that just keeps adding a new quirky or "psychedelic" instrument every few bars. Everything but the first guitar part and the last(lead) vocal were improvised. The vocal/lyrics are a "translation" of an originally improvised sort of scat/mumble. It ended up being a jubilant song about suicide? Or learning to fly? I've been trying to only allow myself one take at anything, even or especially with instruments I don't play. I'd like another stab at the trombone and I didn't pull out the vibraslap until much too late, but there is some interesting cacophony in places here. #rock #improvisation #indierock
