Marauder Octobot Live at MEME 8/3/13, Part 1 (in search of the perfect parade)

This is a bunch of stylized guitar music I wrote, played, and recorded for the soundtrack of a student film in 2009. I don't play the guitar, so it was difficult -- recording one chord or two or three notes at a time, or one voice by itself for 15 seconds. I used to play violin a long time ago, so that helped, although getting my right hand consistent was impossible (as you will surely hear). I got better near the end of the process, but...I only had a few weeks, so I didn't get that good! Also, ironically the most exposed, guitar heavy parts were the first things I did -- the later stuff I used a lot of weird processing on to make it sound tapey and ethereal. Never played this for anybody, really, besides sending a track at a time to some people to get their feelings, and not sure how I feel about it. Not sure anybody I sent it to really liked it either! But it was my first soundtrack attempt, and everything, so for whatever it's worth, enjoy!
