It has been a very long time since I have done one of my experimental acapella tracks. After finishing Just Another Unfinished Ending (https://write.fawm.org/songs/315933), I felt that maybe I should apply the same crazy delay setup I used on my Strat to my Microphone feed. With a big smile, I did just that. This is the result.

I played around with my voice, as well as some random household items. Spoons, pieces of plastic, scissors, a brass guitar slide (actually a piece of plumbing…), an ambient sleep-aid sound maker, various sized bottle caps, & a toy whistle. That's another thing that I haven't done in a VERY long time: play around with random household items. This was too much fun. Especially when I started to scream (good thing no one else is home! 😆 ).

I hope this track makes you think & takes you to a weird realm where anything is Possible.

See You In The Shadows…

Lyrics

Run While You Can

What do you want? What do you want? What do you want? What do you want?

How do you want? How do you want? How do you want? How do you want?

Is this all there is? Is this all you can dream? Is this all you can dream?

What else could it be? What else could it be? What else could it be? What else could it be?

Boom! Boom! Boom! I know!

How do you like it now? How do you like it now? How do you like it now? How do you like it now?

Run while you can! Run while you can! Run while you can! Run while you can! Run while you can!

I believe you opened a gate to a dark place with this. It is interesting that you find this fun, I believe only those of us who feel really well.un the dark inside can ever deal with the dark outside and keep sane or step into the light as you said it, and bear it's weight. That being said I also found it very fun, was very much waiting where it was going to go, how far you would take it.

Really like those echoey vocals bouncing all around, like running through a dark forest at night chased by creatures, great use of multiple different types of sounds!

Hey, are you trying to draw us into the demons' realm?? This is SCARY!!! Sirius' stuff sounds like pop compared to this!! oh dear, the screaming startled me, haha. Curse you! And now, what's that? Whistling? Oh my, I'm not sure I want to go to that place with you, I'm going to turn back, okay? Let me know if you get by!

I know you've heard Pink Floyd's abandoned "Household Objects" project. This is getting sorta creepy. Like being surrounded by angry ghosts. An interesting use of loops here. You're freaking me out, dude. Nice headphone track. That screaming is crazy; sounds like a kettle whistle. Very atmospheric.
