Spellbound

There's a section with a non-resolving cadence in this one, so I highly recommend wearing headphones if impressionable children under the age of 12 are around.
Feeling good after a second beat and extract. Lot of errands to run this week, so this was a Sunday morning slugfest.

I would have liked to add a bridge here and make this better, but I need to get in a good gym session and get healthy for week 3+.
It's probably not that audible but some of this was a refinement of elements of my w1. Definitely consciously said "yeah I'm going to use that here", which felt like a good moment of musical growth to be able to call on elements that made it good without copying everything and sounding like it. (Elements of movement 4 the witch in the mud hut and movement 2 the 80's gasoline from hell rocker)
Felt like this week generated a lot of usable material to finish off in later weeks.
I did write my ass off earlier in the week and practiced like a maniac. Nothing committed to paper so to speak but a lot of hooks, lyric hooks, and ideas recorded. I slightly threw my voice out going a little too into new technique territory without calling it quits soon enough, so what I came up with there will have to wait another week or so to get finished and record vocals ^___^.
Also I really went to town on another set of lyrics that are probably my best lyrics to date that don't involve bestiality, graveyards, or my usual comedic lyrics, really tried to emphasize somatic over cerebral and am excited to finish those off soon.
