This happened spontaneously. I stopped to clean it up and practice it a few minutes and then recorded this on my phone.

Martian Sky v1.0.1

Martian sky v1.0.2

This version has a beat and some ambience samples. The custom percussion is the outside of my fist hitting the center console of our car. The sample is from "Begotten", the God Killing Himself sequence. I tapped out the beat on my phone's drum kit and then pasted over it with samples from the count trapula kit. there's no words recorded yet, but i've got the main part of it written.  There may be several pages of material recited as ambience, but the following will be prominent and sung.

martian sky

the oblivion of everything
is stalking through the hallways of our vessel
with its knives

it annihilates creation
with its hatred and its lies smashing
hope and truth inside our skulls
entangled with our minds

we alleviate our space ship with
a consciousness dimension
now disintegrate on impact
leave your streaks 

across the martian sky

the rest of the text will be recited both spoken and whispered or distorted. i may also scream the sung part unintelligibly and then sample it at low volume through the quiet parts.

There's also a bluesy version of this chord progression, too. I recorded it on an earlier track. I may clean that up and play it on electric guitar with distortion.

I'm going to experiment with a piano part, especially if my good mic is able to get a reasonably clean sound from it. 

I may also add one or two more 808 kick samples. I really need a keyboard so I can play those 808 kick samples live. The copy/paste method is too time consuming for the value they bring and I feel like if I could interact with that part of the music live and feel tactile response it would sound different.

I'm thinking about replacing the "Begotten" sample with digeridoo. I've got a digeridoo now. That depends largely on the mic and what the final result sounds like with the rest of the composition.
