After the Hole - Lyrics

All I seen is what I thought I would have seen
At the end all I found were other ends

Suddenly I know, you live to know after the hole

On the screech of the city brakes I heard your name
Feel as though we're living in a recurrent dream

Suddenly I know, you live to know after the hole

And the life is after the hole

And the life is after the hole

Strange Part of the Country

After the Hole

Bandcamp

This tune evolved from the chord progression of the acoustic guitar track, which I just then added on layer after layer. This is the first song where many different synths both take the lead melody and backing chords.  It kind of sounds like a soundtrack for some sci-fi show. It has a strangeness to it, which is "odd," and is thus named as a tribute to David Bowie, inspired by many of his tunes, especially A Space Oddity.

Episode #231: BMI Controversy and New Drug Breakthroughs

Ambient jam recorded summer 2023 at the Clemente studio in Lower East Side, NY

I Am Moon Child

Clemente

This is a tune that I wrote back during college in the late 1990s and composed on Impulse Tracker (Dos-based .mod file software). I wasn't studying much, and spending more time listening to jazz, funk, especially Herbie Hancock's early 1970s stuff, as well as continuing to enjoy rock music from bands like Rush and Yes and Pink Floyd. This tune has a Rush-y sound and a noticeable influence of some fusion-y keys (hence the Fender Rhodes). 

The original guitar parts like the verse melody and the solos were initially synthesizers, but thought it would sound fresher and more organic, so I redid them here with guitar. It was actually challenging to learn the solo for guitar and be able to play up to speed. Initially, everything on Impulse Tracker was just programmed in, so there was no issue with technique or skill. So it was fun to learn it and play it and hear the slightly rough sound of guitar. It also showed me that by first composing a solo purely based on the notes in my head, it can help me break out of old guitar-based patterns that happen just from years of playing. This has inspired me to create some guitar solos in the same way in the future. Compose them without considering how it's played on guitar, then learning them on the guitar and adapting to them. Stay tuned for newer compositions.

Thanks again to David Philipe Gil for reviving these old .mod files from the floppy disks so that I can hear and re-make them.

This is a remixed version of "Steady Metal," with a more classic rock tone, actually born after the "Heavy Version" of which I uploaded earlier. The distortion in the earlier version seemed to heavy, saturating the whole soundscape. This version has the distortion turned way down on the rhythm guitars, allowing you to hear a much more rich variety of sounds coming from the other instruments. Also, some extra reverb was cut out, giving this version a tighter, crunchier feel. 

This tune was an unexpected adventure that was born from just randomly playing a few chords with a distortion pedal... with the new remixed sound, it sounds me like a something born of a mix of Led Zepplin, Rush, Pink Floyd, Megadeth... and something out of a Lord of the Rings soundtrack... maybe 

This track was fun, building upon a 3-section chord progression in 7/4, adding layers on top, and changing the bass and drums underneath as it develops. It has a suspenseful build up to the climax and explosive ending, and reminds me of some kind of chase or race through space with a surprise finish of sorts.

Created on iMac, Logic Pro. Gibson SG electric guitar. Fender bass. Keystation keyboard. Mixed and. mastered by me. 

Enjoy. Meditate on it.
