Good evening all. Here is 'Winter in Chingeltei', the latest mp3 to come out of my little bedroom-recording-studio. I hope you like it. I've just realised that the title is horribly similar to another demo that is floating around. never mind, names can be changed very easily.
You may notice that this sounds extremely similar to 'childrens park'. there is a very good reason for this. Both were recorded in a very similar manner. Both are basically just messing around on top of a nice little riff. Both have a 'bass' part recorded using my whammy pedal to send my guitar down an octave. Both have the bass part recorded twice and panned in stereo to give the impression you are inside the music. Both have slightly unnecessary e-bow parts that are mostly there because i like using an ebow whenever possible.
Oh and those of you with good memory may recall this was once recorded under the title 'christmas lights'.
See if you can spot the points that my computer gets confused and adds in worried crackles and spits, or the sound of my desk chair creaking at the end.
For your information, Chingeltei is a district of Ulaanbaatar, where my flat was last winter. It is the north-western part of the city, and probably the most smoky part of the centre. There is no particular connection between the notes of the music and my flat, but as the last thing i recorded was named after the ub childrens park (and the play i wrote the music for), it seemed fitting.

In other news, i have ordered a pickup for my violin. This time next week i will know what a violin sounds like when played through a fuzz factory. Time to get practicing i think.

i don't recall hearing this before. it's very very pretty. it reminds me of a band (not a specific song though), but i can't quite put my finger on it. can we play around with it?

yes of course. feel free to do so.
important chords include A and C#m, and there's a B in there too i think, perhaps a G and an E at some point. I forget the details.
it's lovely. I didn't write a bass part yet because I went to a pub with Roy.
what if vibe wise it was a bit like 'when someone great is dead' by LCD soundsystem?
Yes, I remember this creeping into SWSBOF practices back in the day. Nicely rendered though
