Details to follow...
UPDATE, 10/30: A full two weeks later, here they are:
My first song was an experiment in recording vocals, and my second an experiment in recording instruments. This, my third, is an experiment in mixology. I call it "Mixology". There are eleven tracks, none of which have anything to do with each other.
They are:
1. The bassline from a song I'm about halfway through writing.
2. Random guitar power chords.
3. My heavily processed scream.
4. A kind of cool guitar part I came up with on the spot, and then looped so it fits the length of the song.
5. The part of the Netflix envelope you throw away.
6, 7, 8. The acoustic guitar intro to another song-in-progress, cut in three and then layered over each other.
9. One of Garageband's built-in synth drum kits, with me just making random noises on them.
10. Me shouting. I hate writing lyrics, so the only ones this song has are "one, two, three, four and..."
11. Synth-piano line for another unfinished song
I recorded (or copy-pasted) each track with the all others muted, so my only guide was to look at the Garageband interface as I went along. I wanted to see if a bunch of random sounds would fit together as music. To my surprise, they kind of do.
