Song of the Week Week, Part One

[Song of the Week is a "weekly" feature which is supposed to update every Thursday Friday, but almost never does. In it, Drew records a song, or attempts to record a song, or gives up and writes another movie review.]

So what I'm thinking is, I'm about 7 or eight weeks behind on SotW. And I need an impetus (if that means what I think it means) to do a post every day again, which various factors have been keeping me from doing. So hey, I thinks, I'll just do a Song a day for a week and kill two birds with one incredibly time-consuming stone. I have no idea if I'll actually follow through, but here's part one (of seven, obviously).


OK, this is a long story. I was gonna try another kind of song but got frustrated and wanted to try an experiment. The idea here was to play with speeding up the tracks, so I recorded a couple tracks (bass and tambourine/guitar) at 40bpm, pretty much just trying to play various riffs to see how they'd sound speeded up (I was going to do it up to 240 bpm, but ultimately went with 120). For good measure I used the auto-key-changer from C minor to G major, mostly to see what it did (as it turns out, nothing), and played a bit with with panning and echoes.

Here's the original (stick with it, it gets better):

I ♠ Noise (Slow):


Here's the studio-processed version, which actually turned out better than I thought it would. It gave the guitar parts this odd, flute-like sound which I kind of liked.

I ♠ Noise (Fast):


I want to make these available for download. It would make a good ringtone for someone you hate. If you know how I can do it, please leave a comment. Otherwise I'll have to figure it out myself.
