Neutrino Casino

I stitched this track together using some old things I had laying around and adding some new stuff to it. I had started to record a track I had temporarily titled "Neutrino" late last year. I got a bass part and some popcorn-tin drums as well as a very minimal synth-line recorded. Then the extremely-out-of-date version of pro-tools I had been using suddenly got really glitchy and I was unable to finish the track. I managed to salvage what I had and import it into Reaper.
Listening to it again the little synth-part sounded vaguely like a slot-machine sound or something to me. And that reminded me of a sample I had made on my phone a little while back. I was walking through an actual casino a few months ago and digging the sounds of all the machines going off around me at the same time so I started to record on my phone as I just wandered around for awhile. Unfortunately shortly after I began recording they decided to blast a shitty pop song over the loud speakers, which ruined most of my sample, but I did get a little bit of useful sounds, which I added to the track. So "Neutrino" became "Neutrino Casino."
Finally I added some new guitar and vocal parts to flesh things out. I improvised the lyrics based on the new title and this is what I ended up with.
