Dear diary,

Why does it feel like all the music equipment and software was out to get me this week, it's some crazy skynet conspiracy to stop me from composing music.Initially wanted to make an epic metal track for the Lazersaurus Battle Theme (going to be a theme song) but the computer crashed every time i wanted to record something. That meant no guitar and i had to scrapped that idea. So I made another song from scratch. The arrangement was basic but it sounded okay, but when i bounced it at TAFE and heard it back home it sounded like ASS! So I gotta hold off that song till next week. I remember that I intended to do a song with one of my circuit bent toys, so i ended up doing that, but just when i had something going on Saturday about halfway done, POOOF! The computer restarted and all my work was gone. So i had to start AGAIN and I made this all on a lonely Sunday afternoon. FML, #firstworldproblems, h8life, angry emoticon, etc, rant over.


So for this track its simply looping noises and whatnot from a single circuit bent toy. Its got some panning but besides that nothing else has been altered.

I don't have a camera on me so i had to use the computers camera, 2 pitch shifter pots, a distortion switch and a "crazy fun button" that only works on the two first buttons on the guitar neck and when all the pitch pots are down. RCA output.

I've held this toy in my hands. I remember it well. track rules. it's insane but if it's lard, it's good eatin'
