Great tune! I really the mellow attitude in the vocals!

Very beautiful slow track ...by humans for sure

Great! Nice ryhthm & solo guitar. 🎸🔥🎸✨

Black posies
round the fringes
of a memory untapped.

The same piano
that shadow now
a vampire bat.

A phantom dance
through cemetery smoke
in boots of kerosene
and glass.

Stop-sign under idle moon.
Riding to survive
beneath the dome light.
One to scar and it stayed
while the rest left.

Tar traces.
The pavement fissures.
Thin coat rise to neons.
The afterglow a mystery.

A round, a stage
an empty rink.
A drama of the ashes.
Air embedded with sweat
and leaking sinks
and snakes.

Underground unbound.
Unbolting each lock to soul.
Silent and slow 
but wrong it goes
until the fractured
break to fall

to the cellar
where all the lost ones let
the poets of the moon
ink the wall tattoos
for which to paint
their future
or their doom.

Words by Riley Robinson

Extinct Ignition

These songs started with the words. 

I set the words, written by Riley Robinson, to chords on piano. The chords that felt right. I recorded the Casio electric piano, then my sawed-body Austin bass guitar both plugged in directly. Bass played with a pick. (a square corner of my old drivers license)

The organ pretty much follows the piano chords. Two different organ sounds were used for each song on The Black Cat Record. The same Casio.

Vocals. I recorded one, then muted it and recorded another. So that the second vocal wouldn't be an imitation. I tried a lot of the time to sing as if I were in a concert. One vocal is only on the left, and the other is only on the right. 

I recorded electric guitar plugged into a Blackstar amp, direct-in. Same pick used. I had a Lyon Disturbed signature guitar with a kill switch for The Black Cat Record, and a Squire with a whammy bar for Hex. Rhythm guitar was usually done twice, and only on the left or right, like the vocals. I like to think the left headphone is a slightly different album than the right.  Vocals recorded with a Shure SM57.

All songs recorded in my room on a laptop, through a preamp. On Audacity. One piece at a time. 


No A.I. 
No auto-tune. 
No metronome.
