Recorded this scratch idea with just direct guitar through timeline and space...then built up the rest...

Ice melted by sun / Benjamin Fargen

The sample keyboard sound at the beginning of this track was created from a field recording I caught with my iphone...these crazy birds were out in front of Target at 7pm at night just making all this noise..I drove by in my car...rolled down the window and recorded it...then I put it into Kontakt 3 and tweaked with it until it was a sound I could use.

Theme to a movie that doesn't exist - iphone birds

'59 position = late 50's tweed bassman
Plug in your tele and get some smokey greasy blues with that hint of "wood" tone we all love

'65 position = Dead on JTM 45
Clapton Bluesbreaker tone's....all day long

'68 position = 12000 Series Superbass
You know it...you love it...you want it!
