Name: Jamuary2024-12 - I Guess You Don't (bells) by Pally
Duration: 58 s
Description: Got a melody and got composerly. It has just a basic outline of words and lighter sketches of a couple other segments in voice memos. Excited to return to this and add it to the budding perky pop songs collection.

I like this version too, each brings it's own little something

Gear: Deluge

I know this chord progression has a specific name and I can't remember what it is. Ah well, here's to another Jamuary!

Day 1 of the Jamuary Challenge 2024!

Inspired by Jonas Bendiksen's photo of white butterflies surrounding a crashed spacecraft in Russia.

Made the beat and it seemed like it really wanted some spoken word on top of it. A partial reading from a short piece by Robert Monson: https://musingsfromabrokenheart.substack.com/p/this-is-not-the-end

Jamuary 02 24 - This Is Not The End

Jamuary Day 4. A mix of recordings, from a train in France, a computer whirr, a microwave, some wooden wind chimes, and a voice on the radio that I almost didn't use but became the recurring theme of this one.

Day 26. All the percussion is just me tapping on my desk and then some erosion, pedals, and amps. The bass is some guitar transposed down an octave.

Jamuary 26th 2024 A Kind of Destination

Day 29. This one was inspired by memories of reading Calvin and Hobbes in the morning while eating breakfast. The photo is of the kitchen window in my old home.

Today I used only acoustic guitar with no effects except some volume related ones and some EQ. Also played in 5/4 time.

Day 30. Wanted something with a little more energy for this one. I sang do re mi and put the whole thing into a simpler and sliced it. Played around a bit and transposed a few bits and this came together eventually. Had to trust my gut a bit, but I'm glad I did.

Jamuary 30th 2024 Becoming

Kepala Duit (Commissioned by LabourNet TV)

Originally from various sides of various mountain ranges near and far from the sea, Pally's got the waves and the crags and the peaks and the plains, the evergreens and the waves of grain, the salty breeze and the fireflies deep in those bonny veins. A forever tanline from the Bible belt and bad winter skin ensure that every song's a lie, and every lie's the damndest truth, and any truth a pretentiousest overstatement.
