My second DAW song.

Fortress of Fear
Please help me out, please help me out, out

I'm trapped inside this fortress of fear
I'm trapped inside this fortress of fear
Walls closing in, their shadows coming near
Mean voices and noise that only I can hear
It comes back a long forgotten tear
It comes back a long forgotten tear

I cannot find out, flee from the noise so loud
I cannot find out, I am nothing but doubts

Please help me out, please help me out, out

I'm trapped inside this fortress of fear
Ever higher the strong walls they grow
Inside this tower my soul feels low
Oh I feel so real insanity grow
Watch me sinking as madness overflows
Who can remember once I was a rose
Who can remember once I was a rose

I cannot find out, I could scream and shout
I cannot find out, I could scream and shout

No way out, no way out, no way out
How to get out, how

Fortress Of Fear

Produced by COtu

The bass and drums are based on a paradiddle (RLRR LRLL drum rudiment). I played the figure on pads, then moved the notes around various percussion instruments. The drums are mostly "linear", meaning no two notes hit at the same time. It kinda gives it a "Flim" feel. (although it sounds nothing like "Flim")

Thanks for listening

I was working on updating this and it suddenly struck me that it's sorta spooky sounding and it's Halloween time. Perfect.

Circa 2007 I began poking around with synth sounds in GarageBand. It was fun to play with the settings to see what new sounds I could contrive. This is the result of one of those adventures. I recently opened the file in Logic and tweaked it to match where I'm at presently in my musical journey.

(This tune is downloadable.)

I compose in MIDI, using Logic Pro and sound libraries from EastWest. This tune has a lot of personally tweaked synth sounds.

noxpox - Jammin (Zone Cruiser Remix)

Just for fun. 

I shared a rehearsal space in the basement of Westbeth Artist Housing (please see the photo) in the late 70’s. This music has to do with my dream-memory of the place.

The basement was labyrinthine. Until a few years ago, I still had recurring dreams of that environment. It was constructed of grey painted cinder block or some such stony material. There were many bands in many rooms down there, and as you walked the halls you’d hear all the musics leaking out from under steel doors in cacophony. Often you’d hear the band in the next cell right through your own stone wall as you were playing. That made it hard to record in there. We did it anyway. 

The sonic qualities of this recording remind me of those hallways as do some of the somewhat antiquated guitar moves. And by the way, I love antiquated guitar moves!

Nathan inspired me to look into C open tuning...Another field to wonder/wander in...
Guitar done in in one pass...everything else was built off of that...

Butterfly

Down in the hall, she sits alone
Watching the world outside 
Finally, a place to call her own
Leave troubles behind

A suitcase packed with hope and dreams 
Light as it seems
But heavy is the chest of one who leaves
Behind the scenes

Friends and family came to 
Say goodbye, envying her life 
See you soon, till the next time
Go girl, fly high

Once she closed the door her life was
Never like it was before
As a butterfly she spreads her wings
Remembering days of yore
When in a cocoon she was confined 
And worked so hard till she could soar 

One step further, day by day
 This is her fate, no time to wait 
Chasing stars and healing scars
But there’s a price that she must pay
Every winding turn, a lesson learned
And dreams are lost along the way 

When you’re on the top, but feeling down
Why keep the crown
For the weight of gold can bind
Your soul and mind
Oh my
Why

A kingdom and a throne
But nothing feels like home, home

Once she closed the door another opened
But she wanted more
More than gold, and get a hold
Of all the friends she had before
Heal the pain and find the strength
To fly again when heart and soul are sore

Tiny butterfly, with colors bright
Dancing in the morning light
Tender wings, she sails the wind
Across the old suburban sky
Back at home, her faith is strong 
Embracing love she traveled far to find
