Name: 02 If I Could Be Running by HPE
Duration: 5 min 7 s
Description: Some older material given fresh production, and one new track.

Part of my "finish what you start" series. 

This began in the usual manner: an improvisational jam using bunch of gear running into Ableton Live: 

Octatrack
Korg EMX
Yamaha PSS 680
Electric guitar 

After recording my freakout session, I cut it down into a structure I liked. Then I added vocals (my original improv vocals weren't to my liking this time) and a little extra keyboard stuff.

This song is based on a dream I had last week.

Shared Nightmares

I really like dissonance and making a spectacle of my inability to play guitar. 

Whiskey Headache

This is an edit of a 'live' improvisation recorded on March 25, 2015. I used an Octatrack, Korg EMX-1, Yamaha PSS-680, electric guitar and my voice. Everything was recorded into Ableton in one live session and then edited. 

I did not try to remain faithful to the flow of the original improvisation.  I treated it more like a narrative - things were cut and tweaked to fit the story.  

Know Smoak

Some older material given fresh production, and one new track.

02 If I Could Be Running

Here's a track from a project I will probably never finish. It is called "The Body is Evidence of the Spirit" and it's all stuff like this: field recordings, light synth stuff and abused samples. 

The artwork was drawn by my wife. You can find more of her stuff on her internet places:

The Author Dies Penniless and Alone

Another track in this "finish what you start" project I began in March. Another track I would have bailed on long ago. 

Wrestled with this for a longer time than usual. This track beat me down hard. Time to admit defeat and move the fuck on.
