I'm considering naming this little collection of songs "Knowing So Little About So Many Things" :)

This track does get a little too repetitive and wander-y, but I'm happy with it considering the effort I put in.

Without

I think I could put more work into this track to make it good, but I wanted to put it up as it is. This is the first track using my Pyramid sequencer. I'm pretty happy with it.

Gear:
Tascam DP-24
Squarp Pyramid
Teenage Engineering OP-1
Critter & Guitari Organelle

Learning

Zeke and I jam. This is a one-take, so there are many bad sounding bits. I think it's cool enough to upload regardless.

Gear:
Tascam DP-24 (multitracker)
Tascam DR-40 (ambient audio)
Squarp Pyramid (sequencing)
Teenage Engineering OP-1 (Zeke on Strings synth)
Critter & Guitari Organelle (Background chords "Analog Style")
Zoom G1On (Guitar effects, "Strahht", myself on Guitar)

Zoom G1On (Guitar "Strahht" effect)

Hang

A doom metal song (or at least, attempt at doom metal) inspired by some aspects of Trees of Eternity's "Eye of Night". It's certainly not perfect but as a first attempt at music in this genre I'm satisfied with how it turned out.

I'm whispering because I was self-conscious of my "screaming" in my apartment :). Next time I'll record somewhere where I can actually yell.

Workday

I haven't been doing much music making these past couple months. This track has been in the works for a while so I decided to push it out.

Replace

I was obsessed with Decompression by Harrison BDP as my intro to Deep House (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=012c0I1PNIk) so I made this track.

This track was something of a concession. I definitely could've put more work into it, but I felt it was sufficient as the final song in "knowing so little about so many things". 

I consider my goal of doing 10 songs by the end of the year a partial success, because I had 9 uploaded before New Years, with this track recorded but not uploaded (hence "Rats!").

Gear
Tascam DP-24 - Multitracker
Squarp Pyramid - Sequencer
Roland FA-08 - Synths, Bass
Teenage Engineering OP-Z - Drums
