Invisible Jungle
I regrettably haven't recorded any music lately. In fact I've barely given myself time to play, but way back when I was like 16 I did take the time. Honestly I never really put a lot of effort into outlining the song, it was more of a play random stuff until I like the way it sounds, do some minor editing and convert it to .mp3. I guess people liked it back then, I put them up on my Myspace band profile and somehow ended up with 900+ fans/friends/whatever. After that I felt Myspace turning into the marketing frenzy born of the faceless soul draining vortex of the web it is today and deleted the account. I just happened upon some of those tracks in my iTunes right after some Frank Zappa, which may have influenced the way I feel about my own music.
Anyway, this track is called Invisible Jungle, I name it that cause I'm an idiot. The inspiration for it came one day when I broke, I believe, the 3rd string on my guitar. It wasn't my awesome brazillian guitar or one of my electrics, no it was my first guitar--the $30 acoustic from Sears that buzzed horribly. Since at the time I didn't mind breaking it I decided it was a good opportunity to try a 4th string where the 3rd should go. This resulted in a tuning of E-A-A-G-B-E, which sounded interesting to me and I hit record.
I should also note that the lone ride cymbal smack near the beginning was an example of lazy editing, if it wasn't there you would perceive a skip, jerk, or something to that effect which instead of simply splicing it out, I thought hitting a cymbal would be better practise. Clearly idiocy is my strong suit.
