Below the Subconscious II

2008-12-15T21:11:38Z

This is a tune I stitched together, as a little test, after getting my studio all set up. It is really gloomy, for some reason. Anyway, it has simple 7/8 drums (with too much snare), a simple acoustic guitar, processed "liquid", not-loud-enough bass guitar and processed Juno-106 keyboard. I play all the instruments but there are no frills, no fills and no solos.]]> Below the Subconscious II - 2:35, 3MB, "Rock"
