Drawing The Line

Viaticum

Guitar, field recordings, various effects...  Made using KX and Ubuntu Studios - 
This piece started out as a set of ambient guitar tracks. These were copied 3 times. One of the copies was stretched to 1.5 times the original length using Paulstretch. One was stretched to 1.5 times the original length using Paulstretch, then slowed by 50%. The third copy was stretched to 1.5 times the original length using Paulstretch, then run through a 16 second feedback delay, then finally through a 29 second feedback delay. All of these tracks were then stacked and arranged. We then added two tracks of children playing on an outdoor switchgear - recorded by Klankbeeld and made available through the FreeSound Project. One of these tracks was processed so that the pitch gradually fell from 0 to 50% from beginning to end, then was fed through a .65 second delay. The other was reversed, then fed through a .58 second delay. Both were then fed through two different reverbs, first a medium sized room, then a large one. Finally we added a track of elementary school children playing at recess recorded by Lonemonk and made available through the FreeSound Project.  This track was fed through a fast delay, then through a large room reverb.

Requiem For Damaged Children

VERSE 
Darkness pours a blood red sunset
Dangerous beauty takes your breath
Comets commit a mass suicide
Gorgeously burning their tears to the sky

CHORUS
It’s the most wonderful night, full of romance
Its got adventure .. begs you, take a chance
A night like tonight makes you come alive
It just might be the most wonderful night to die

VERSE
Gangsters gamble stolen fortunes
Cheat the cards (and) take their penthouse views
Race with fast cars, win glamour and thrill
Crash the King’s party, taunt fear, dress to kill

CHORUS
BRIDGE 
It’s where the daring and bold risk everything
For excitement, for riches, to be the legends they dream
They have beautiful women but their true love is this night
They win and lose big, I just hope they survive

CHORUS
