My friend, Rob, has me writing music. Rob is part of a community | |
that tries to write 14 songs in the month of February. He has been | |
encouraging me to try it out. | |
I have never written a song before and mostly play other people's | |
songs or just mess around with instruments. I also can't really | |
read music and don't know much theory, but my ear is ok. | |
This year, I decided to try to write music since I've never done it | |
before. This is what I have been doing over the past few weeks, so | |
I haven't been all that present at my usual online haunts. I | |
finished my first song and phosted it here in the gopher | |
underground. Pretty rough and unpolished, but will try to clean it | |
up m0ar later since I'm trying to write another song. | |
The song is called, "log_of_sound,"[1] and is about the DIY stomp | |
box[2] I built in the projects section of my gophersite. I also use | |
the DIY Cigar Box Guitar[3], which I built this past November. | |
I wasn't expecting a song like this but this is how it came out. It | |
reminds me of a gopher phost and it is spoken word. It was hard | |
for me to come up with something and put it together, but at least | |
I got something down. | |
