Under the Influence
My first recorded and mixed composition. A few semi-random notes:
- I don't know if I would call this representative of my style, but it
does represent my influences pretty well.. hence the title (which has nothing
to do with alcohol...). If you listen closely you can hear a little Soundgarden,
Blues Traveler, Bjork, Satriani, jazz, Frank Zappa (who I don't listen
to much, but has still had a slight influence), etc...
- The entire song was basically built on the rarely-heard violin melody... the
other instruments were added to complement that.
- I recommend listening with headphones or at least with balanced speakers on
your right and left so you can hear the stereo effects... I put a lot of time
into the panning. :)
