about

A random sampling of recordings from over the past two years. Most were done with a tiny recording box and one microphone, so don't expect them to sound studio quality (or really even that good). Rather, this album is to just display some song, and to get an official starting place for my music.

The songs are broken up into sections by style:
1-6 are instrumental pieces using just acoustic guitars. A rhythm part would be laid down, and then solos would be double tracked on top of them.
7 is an experiment of it's own, using haptic microphones and random junk.
8 and 9 are synthesized compositions written and recorded in Guitar Pro 5.
10 and 11 are covers, and even include my voice (albeit with a bad mic set up). Similar techniques to the first few songs were used to make it sound like I wasn't just sitting alone in a dark room, recording music.
Lastly, 12-15 are electronic pieces without a hint of anything that doesn't sound like a computer, and vary in style and composition.

Thanks for listening, and I hope to give you more and better music very soon!

Here To Stay (reissue)
by the Record Low

If Springsteen had been more punk, you would have gotten The Record Low. You owe it to yourself to listen to The Bottom, it's a fresh yet classic sound with witty-as-fuck lyrics. king rat
