Yesterday, I dug through a few hard drives looking for some digital photos. I found (most of) the photos, but I ended up finding something more interesting... pretty much every song I've recorded on my computer since 2001. Multitracks and all. My packrat tendencies have paid off, I suppose.
Since this is a gem site, perhaps I shall unearth a few of these with a mind on getting some original stuff up once the smoke of school clears (eight weeks until graduation, yes).
This song is a piano cover of Danzig's "Cantspeak". One project I never completed was an album of only Danzig covers called Dancezig, and in perusing various lyrics for that album I found the lyrics to 'Cantspeak' to be particularly moribund, even for Danzig. It certainly didn't fit the pounding beat of the song (though I certainly enjoy the original). Thus, I drew out every ounce of pathos and took Danzig to Emo Piano town.
In my Freezing of the track, some of the instruments dropped out. When I originally posted this song to my blog in 2007, a fellow Atlanta musician (Tricil) told me he enjoyed the dropouts. Plus, I don't have the original instrument pack installed anyway, so enjoy the random missing sections. It sort of works with the song.

Nice. Hoping to hear more of these undiscovered gems!

Yesss! Thanks for sharing; this is beautiful. The dropouts happen at dramatic moments, too!

Good sounds. I don't mind an occasional visit to the historic district of Emo Piano Town.
