I wanted to try something different for my new sonic output; adding quick and dirty drums, as one simple stepping up from a simple metronome.
Naturally, things took longer than expected to set up, but I like the sorta pattern that my production is taking lately; along the week, I try to get some time out of the pressures of the day to get something done, using the "radioactive task" technique that I've described (diy music counts as very hard work that really can burn you out; you're making the work of, by my count so far, 4 different people, plus the overhead of moving from one "cap" to the other). This work advances slow and methodically, following the Toyota philosophy of "going slow to go fast". I'm solving problem after problem without skipping any, and making sure that the investment of time pays off, that I no longer solve a problem and then forget that I did. This way of working gets a bit on my nerves sometimes, but what I've found is that it allows me to better let it go when I just want to take some sonic product out quick. There I forget about any kind of premise and just churn out; it's a good practice in itself, too. For example this Antichristmas carol, started with the paraphrasis of the usual holidays wish, and a lot of listening to Metal Messiah Radio I've been doing lately. I felt like growling and venting out, and the lyrics came out very easily: Murder Christmas and fucking drop dead the air is poisoned and so is the Earth the chances of hope are just in your head your flesh is dropping one year of decay Murder christmas Murder christmas Murder christmas This is a Murder christmas Where is the snow the whole planet's gonna blow you wish you had another so you can go waste some more king of creation moron on the rise shame of the universe retarded suicide Murder Christmas and ugly new year life as we know it is about to dissappear Murder Christmas and fucking drop dead the air is poisoned and so is the Earth Let's talk influences, which I always enjoy. Homage due to BrujerÃa, the first song of Down's 'IV', a bit of Mayhem, and a bit of Doors and Queens of the Stone Age in the final solo I guess, although I tried to go more for maniac than for psychodelic-cabaret... Also there was this band called Negativity, with album titles like 'please kill yourself'... I liked that style of "so depressing that is almost funny". :)
