RESPONSIVE - Prohibituary

Just finished a new Prohibituary track!

Do ya know?  Prohibituary is an internet collaboration between me and legendary prolificator, R. Stevie Moore.  Most of the tracks that have happened so far are from RSM spoken word tracks that i've messed around with.  I cut, copy, paste, drag and repeat the vocal until it turns into something.  I'm really happy with the 3 second drum solo (0:57).  It's so booming!

RESPONSIVE - Prohibituary

This is the original spoken word track

 RESPONSIVE - R. Stevie Moore

It turned out darker and creepier than i thought it might.  The keyboard part took forever.  I tried to strategically figure out a sort of melody round by drawing out the guitar part in sections of 3's, but it ended up being too cluttery:

Here's another Prohibituary track from a month or so ago.  it's a bit less offputting i think

JACKIE

This is my first song blog post. hopefully i will post new demos and songs weekly.  feel free to "follow" it if you like

just finished a version of JACKIE. here is some information about the song and its origins, taken from wikipedia:

"Jacky (La chanson de Jacky) is a song written by Jacques Brel. He recorded the song on 2 November 1965, and it was released on his 1966 album Ces Gens-Là. The song was translated from French into English and retitled as "Jackie".
Scott Walker recorded and released the song as a single in late 1967. The single met with controversy in the UK because of lyrics like "authentic queers and phony virgins" and drug references. The song was banned by the BBC and was not performed on TV or played on the mainstream radio channels. The song was performed on the non-BBC channels most notably on Frankie Howerd's show Howerd's Hour where Walker sang and danced in an overly comical fashion. The song eventually charted at #22, and the following year was included on Walker's critically acclaimed second album Scott 2."

i recently obtained a karaoke version of scott walker's rendition and have sung it lots.  it's real epic and in a key i can sing, so i decided to record my own version of it on my 8-track tascam 688

enjoy
