Almanac for the Tired

Original composition written by Nick Carroll. Recorded and produced using Logic Pro X, Scarlett Focusrite audio interface, (1) SM57 and (1) SM58 microphones.

INSTRUMENTS AND AMPLIFICATION:
Martin Special 16 style dreadnought (rosewood back & sides / sitka spruce top);
Hofner Ignition series short-scale violin bass;
Hohner Marine Band 1896 harmonica;
Fender Rumble 200 bass amp;

Tbh, I make these as TL;DL curated dialogues drawn from conversations and lectures that I've found interesting over the years.

PERSON 1: "I will have heaven and earth as my coffin and crypt, the sun and moon for my paired jades, the stars and constellations for my round and oblong gems, all creatures for my tomb gifts and pallbearers.

PERSON 2: "... And, what if the crows and vultures feast on you body above ground?"

PERSON 1: "Above ground I will be eaten by crows and vultures, below ground by ants and crickets. Now you want to rob the one to feed the other. Why such favoritism?"

The Dao that can be named, discussed and conceptualized is not the eternal Dao.

Made on Ableton with a bunch of MIDIs, a couple loops and lots of love <3 

Erykah Badu brings so much inspiration. And Vince Staples has some of the most creative rhyme schemes I've heard. Had to take a pass at making a bassy-lounge-hop flip of 'em.
