First, a song.
I wrote this as I went along so it's largely improvised. Actually, it had no drums until about 30 minutes after the rest of the song was recorded. Just had a weird 2:30 AM impulse to try something different with some electronic-y drums. I admit to a lot of looping of guitar parts in this. I normally don't do that, but my intention when starting wasn't to record a whole song. just to write the arpeggio part.
Overall I'd say it's kind of sloppy (should have started with drums, in hindsight), but I like some of the ideas going on here.
And I'm not sure what genre this falls under. I wrote and recorded it as an ambient thing with some post-rock elements, but added the electronic drums later. Now I dunno what. Not that it matters to much.
EDIT: NEW VERSION
Added a bassy synth. Kinda neat.
Now, an animation:
My work is from about 0:16 to about 0:36. I had one more shot that appears to have been cut (probably for the best, it never felt right.) That's the last one I worked on for this show.
And another animation:
(posted this to facebook a little while ago, haven't done anything to it since) Work in progress, obviously. There's going to be a beginning and end to this that I haven't animated yet. I'm pretty happy with the direction it's going. Somewhere between cartoony and realism.
