rest in peace

This track came together on an unintended way. one day in November 2023 after work in the clinic, the terminal care of my father, terrorattacks in the world and bad news from everywhere, I took my guitar as usual, to jam to a looper. I was in a melancholic mood and needed to focus on something else. I found the track this week and could pretty resonate with it and wanted to add some textures and instruments. While recording the new layers I lost myself in the music, playing 30-45 minute long new tracks, which had to be arranged into 5 minutes again. The trick I used was, even it is very timeconsuming, to cut them in portions, put them among each other and pick the best parts. I had finally 40 single tracks to chose from and to arrange. A way of procedure like Tim Friese- Greene and Mark Hollis must have done, when they produced spirit of eden and laughing stock. With their tapemachines it took them years to arrange the songs in the 80ies. Nowadays I was successful in 2 days, but missed the 5 minutemark and ended up with 10.07. Drums were played by myself, Reverb via AKG BE20.
The final mix and mastering was challenging due to the endless possibilities. Maybe I could have made more use of the limiter, but the volume-button-value is in your taste.
Of course I want to cut a version (guitar only) of this on polycarbonate, which can be checked at Wilcox raw-cats here on WB, if I succeed.
