Ebony Branch (aka Lub Dub) (Electronica)
Not music: therapy. For me. Not for you.
Suicide is on your side if ever you feel blue. (Electronica)
Artist Comments Dunno what to classify this track as. Jazz? Electronics? Was tempted to stick it in Contemporay Christianity and make up some gibberish about it being a jungle jazz hymn. Hmm...might still do that...
Produced this about six years ago on the brand spanking new Yamaha RM1X I had at the time. Got an RS7000 now, even better.
Comparing this with the other two tracks, which are much more recent, I'm inclined to think my musical skills have deteriiorated, rather than improved.
This track was improvised very quickly - I think ittook me about four hours. I was learning how to use the RM1X at the time, and I wasn't too au fait wich the step recording feature, so a lot it was played in real time. Recorded straight onto a minidisc at and copied to a CD a few years later. Lost the original file now - it's somewhere in all the boxes of floppies of RM1X files that i haven't gotten around to converting to the RS7000 format yet.
I quite like this one - fairly perky, for all it's faults.
It's about ending your life though, as the title suggests. I liked the idea of a an upbeat, positive, breezy suicide sing-a-long, but never did finish the words.

Been doing this for years, going through a variety of kit. Currently using Yamaha sounds and sequencing, Akai digital studio and a couple of FX boxes. My music sounds crap, though. Seriously, don't listen if you have any taste. I'm not kidding. I just do this stuff because it pops up in my head and drives me crazy if I don't record it. It's a like having a bad radio station on 24/7, playing songs that i know aren't all that good, but which won't go away unless i record them. It's not bloody funny, you know.
Used to be in a prototype grunge/garage band back in the 80s. Left just as grunge was kicking off - missed that boat big time. Oh yes. Didn't see that one coming at all. No, not me - had a clingy, bossy, materialistic girlfriend; left the music behind, got a sensible job. Ditched the soul-sucking witch a few years on, but not soon enough. Too late for the grunge gravy train, anyway. Actually sounded not too unlike early Nirvana, if you kind of closed your eyes and squinted at us. Dirty Earbash we were called. Songs were mostly crap though - I helped write a lot of them. But, at least this stuff was written before radio ka ka stared playing behind my eyes.
