Juicy

This was supposed to be a mouth-watering song about brunch. While an epic brunch classic was the song I set out to make, alas, this is not that song. Something different emerged from these three hours of recordings.
These sounds are from a jam session from a couple weekends ago. Myself, License, and fellow co-worker and maker of weird sounds (and brunch lover) D-Money. I started some riffing on Biscuits and Gravy to start things off (maybe I was hungry). Then D-Money on some vocals and the Circuit picked it up later with some tasty mimosa toasts. License held down some drums and some great samples on his Octatrack, then contributed some vocals too. Later he hooked up the O-Coast to the Circuit Monostation and things got, well, extra juicy.
I'd like to say that what I did put together has a meaningful story and theme. Something about how some of the changes we have seen in our country just do not seem correct. There is unfounded violence and injustice. We need justice, we need peace, and we need it now. Even Karen is calling for it. It's time we take the rotten orange of a system, peel it open and squeeze out the juice .... and make mimosas while the new oranges grow.
Maybe that story called to me and helped me pick what I did for this song out of the 3 hours of recordings I dug through. It's a blessing and a special kind of curse to have that much audio to dig through. Maybe that story emerged and guided me, or maybe I poked around at random, picking out the juicy bits that tickled my weekend weird bone, chopped them up, and had some fun with it. Did I pick these pieces, or did they pick me? As D-Money so astutely asked, "What's it all about?"
