House on a Hill (That's Totally NOT Haunted)
By alterationx10 on April 11, 2026 1:14 am
I tried to use my fx pedals for the greater good this week. I programed the drum track on my hapax, and played on some kit on the Push, as well as routed through my microcosm to give the percussion some weird echoes. Ran the Bass and Guitar tracks through the Chroma Console. The Bass track has a bit of the "reverse" channel, to give it some spooky weirdness, and the Guitar has kind of a broken/stuttering tape vibe to it. All recorded/mixed/mastered on the portastudio.

‹ Lyrics
down at the end of a cul-de-sac
three miles past the old railroad tracks
a house on a hill sits way in the back
empty for years enveloped in black
every now and then kids looking for fun
sneak across the gate, try to stay till the sun
make it through the night on a childish dare
witness the inside succumb to the scare
witches and familiars live down the street
werewolves and vampires are on a retreat
ghost and goblins may seem a thrill
no haunting here, just a house on a hill
private equity bought up the estate
all the tenants here were forced to vacate
can't afford the rent or the interest rates
may not be haunted but monsters await
witches and familiars live down the street
werewolves and vampires are on a retreat
ghost and goblins may seem a thrill
no haunting here, just a house on a hill
no haunting here, just a house on a hill
