This is the first song that I have recorded with my HeadRush Looperboard. I layered four separate acoustic guitar parts using a Taylor Koa 214ce. I then added Latin Percussion Conga Drums, Teak Shakers & Meinl Bongos using my old Yamaha MD4s minidisk recorder. Now, I have remixed this track by adding my Slingerland Snare Drum with Wire Brushes and Zildjian Constantinople Cymbals.

Streamline Light

This musical project began in summer 2021. Two people. Two different views on things combined into something more. The work on the debut album took almost three long years. But slowness helped to achieve the desired result in sound and overall concept of the album..
 
Genre? Good question. Basically it's heavy metal (of course) but also included more sub styles: from soft acoustic moments to aggressive extreme parts. Literally different colors of music. Debut Album “Road To Nothing” it's just the beginning of Artesea’s Adventure.
To be (definitely) continued … Much More Songs, Much More Albums.

Artesea 2023

Remixed, tweaked and remastered versions of the first three tracks my lockdown project from back in 2020... Originally mixed on very cheap headphones so I thought it would be interesting to revisit with some better kit. I'l upload the rest of the tracks at some point...

Separation

Anthony Dodd - Terms to Define (demo)

I came home for a business trip, my bags in the house just carried. 
My wife met me in the living room with just a nightie on 
She said “the good news I love you and would like us to stay married” 
That’s good news …..

The bad news is I had a one night stand while you were gone. 
That’s bad news….
===================
I stood there with my jaw agape, she’d shocked me into silence 
I should have read the tea leaves, should have seen the signs of course
I said, “the good news is I’m angry but I won’t resort to violence 
That’s good news …..

The bad news is tomorrow I’ll be filing for divorce.
That’s bad news….
==============
I left to find a hotel room consumed with indignation 
And I’m at the front desk of a hotel close by, down the street 
He said, The good news is we have a room without a reservation 
That’s good news …..

The bad news is its what we call our honeymooner suite
That’s bad news….
================
So I’m sitting at the hotel bar still numb and somewhat shocked 
And I’m telling the bartender of the burdens that I carry 
He said, the good news we’ve got it all, the bar is quite well stocked 
That’s good news …..

The bad news is the joy it brings is only temporary 
That’s bad news….
================
And few stools down this gorgeous woman carefully inspects me
And she got up from her stool and took the stool that’s on my right
She said, “the good news is I’m single and I find you very sexy
That’s good news …..

The bad news is a charge a hefty fee to spend the night 
That’s bad news….
===============
So I bought us many rounds of drinks, we partied to the hilt 
She brightened up my mood her disposition was so sunny 
The good news is my wife just cheated so I felt no pangs of guilt
That’s good news 

The bad news is I would have to pay this girl a lot of money 
That’s bad news….
=================
The honeymooner suite decor had a tackiness of fashion 
With a Heart shaped bed and pillows and a bottle of free bubbly 

The good news is we kissed with our tongues in a fervent heat of passion 
That’s good news

The bad news is the more we kissed the more her face felt stubbly 
That’s bad news….
===================
So I asked “are you a woman? Your face is rough like you have stubble” 
She dropped her pants and at the same time dropped a big bombshell 

The good news is I stayed quite calm, uninterested in trouble 
That’s good news

The bad news is I was drunk and horny and I figured - what the hell?
That’s bad news….
===================
I went back home the next day and confessed my indiscretion 
And after the therapy, keeping our marriage together is what my wife wants

The good news is our marriage has been great since my confession 
That’s good news

The bad news my butt’s been very sore for many months 
The bad news is ,,,,,,

Have a nice day

Blender and Chirp is my current indie project.  I'm here to just try to improve and to listen to what other independent musicians create. 9 of the songs posted are part an album that is a work in progress hopefully nearing completion. 7 of the songs posted are from a previous project including "In My Lifetime" , “Routine" and “That Dam Song” which were written and sang by my friend Travis Houghton.
