Just finished my latest song "for wherever they are", which has taken a bit longer than i had anticipated (17 days to be exact). based on kentucky hymn variations, with layer upon layer of guitars, pianos, strings and harps. the premise behind the title is a dedication to all lost souls, whether it be runaways who dare not make contact or bodies that lay in unmarked graves and the like.
i wanted some sort of other-worldly production so i placed a tonnage of reverb on each track and took some recordings off shortwave radio. the sample at the beginning is an excerpt from an interview with richey edwards from the manic street preachers.
initially the song wasn't going to be another instrumental and i had a line for it. i kept singing "leave the light on" over and over again, but i think it suits the song to be left without vocals.
hmm what next for me? well i have unused tablature scrawled in my notebook so maybe i'll get around to patching some of those riffs together but for the next week or so our place is being decorated which means limited access to my recording room.
hope you enjoy the song!
