Song158_Daring Surfmen

This song was written spontaneously and without any expectations. It's the product of starting with one rhythm and then layering sounds and melodies, track by track, until each part had the desired fullness. This song is fairly simple (about 8 tracks), but it has a solid combination of elements: a consistent drum rhythm, a rugged synth bass sound, spacious noises for atmosphere, etc. You might've noticed that I haven't used any guitars for a few days. All of my strings are old and unable to hold tune, so I'll be changing strings later tonight.

Also, I've added a new video to the website...

This was a first-time experiment with reverse time-lapse video. The original drawing took about 20-minutes, then I filmed the 15-minute destructive process, reversed the video, changed the speed to about 450%, and the results are what you see.
