Song 08- "Skullduggerous"
In an effort to celebrate the official launch of djphillips.com, challenge my songwriting/ recording abilities and to take my own swipe at a 30 Day Project I will now post a new song idea every day for the next 30 days. These are not necessarily finished products. They are not necessarily fantastic pop nuggets. But they will be new ideas (written at least within the last few weeks). They will be (pretty much) on time. And they will be original.
Along with each posted song, I'll include a little story of the writing and recording process. If you're the kind of person who doesn't like to know what's behind a song, feel free to skip all the content below the track.
I'm putting these out there-- warts and all-- so let me know what you think! The songs that get a good response will be the most likely to be included on a future release.
Skullduggerous
I'm not feeling so inspired today. I think I'm just tired. Too many late nights mixing demos! I decided to go with an instrumental this time. This is basically just the result of me playing with loops and guitar modeling plug-ins in Logic. I would say that this is definitely not my best work, but it was still kind of fun to go a little guitar crazy and play around. I even did a little troubleshooting when a snafu cropped up!
The song has a pretty sinister sound in the A sections, so Matt Korsmo's description as "skullduggerous" fit nicely as a title. Thanks Matt!
