Independence Day
By NWSPR on July 10, 2022 9:26 pm
Finally feeling better after several weeks of covid and wanted to vent some dystopian power pop/punk ironically named Independence Day - a swipe at the totalitarian rollback of Roe V Wade. Hard to believe pundits on the news debating if women will have the ability to cross state lines to seek medical care. And if some forms of contraception will be made illegal. Would be a great movie but I think I've seen it before... just not on the news.
On a more positive note for me, this track features the return of my Moog Liberation synth that had been away for several years at a repair shop during the Covid lockdown. The fine folks at Main Drag Music held on to my keyboard and finished the refurb - delayed by parts supply chain issues. Happy to have this beasty machine back.
It's responsible for all the distorted synth lines including rhythm and leads that would normally be played on guitar. There are 8 tracks of the Liberation mixed into one hefty synth wall. Other software synths were used for bass and melodies. Vocals are now cough free. I had fun recording all parts of this and won't complain... grading on the NWSPR curve, I think it was a decent effort
Hoping to get more listening in this week. See you in the comments!
