This is a track that I randomly made a while ago. The original song part (the piano bit) is from "Metal Heart" by Cat Power. Loved the piano melody and decided to use it as a spine for an electronically augmented version. I actually used a shorter version of this in a video that I made for Armstrong High School that can be seen here.

First off, I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THE ORIGINAL TRACK!! It is a royalty free piece of music licensed for limited commercial use. Now onto the fun stuff. The base of this track is a song called "Daydreaming" from a package of royalty free music that I have for use in video production. I wanted to use the track for the ending of my video, but felt it was lacking the umph that I wanted for a nice crescendo of emotion and all that sappy stuff. So I added the drums, electric lead guitar, and a soft ambient synth to help fill it out. And yes, I added those chimey things and the bell of the ride cymbal at the end as well. I think it came together pretty nicely. I included a few seconds of the music leading up to my section that I used so that you can hear the elements that were already included in the track before I messed with it.

Preliminary work with my fancy new midi keyboard. This is just a concept piece, it needs a TON!!!! of work. But like most things in my life, this is as far as I will take it and I'll never work on it again.....sad.

Longer, some effects tweaking, and a timing change that I think you will enjoy.
