So, last week's song and this one are supposed to be kind of a part of the same idea. This would be part 1 of 3 and Sodden Vale is part 3 of 3, meaning there's a center part which still isn't done.
Yeah, it's a long ass song, probably going to end up being like 15 minutes long whenever I get around to finishing part the second. I want all three parts to include some drums too but I've been struggling with the sound design. Like, imagine if I were to play this material in a small venue and it's supposed to sound intimate, I probably don't want percussion that smacks or is super loud. It would probably be something closer to jazz style drums with brushes or something. That's also the problem I ran into with this week's tune. I planned on including the middle part but I found myself running out of time and felt like I needed to continue to experiment.
Oh, and I forgot to mention it on last week's song, but that one and this one are both in D#-G#-D#-G-B-D# tuning. It's spicy. That opening strum in this tune is all the open strings.

did i just tip my hat and brandish my weapon? the music says 'yais you did'. guitar sounds so good.. that chord on 2:03 oof hits. the mournful solo atop everything so soothing. love how it ends with a "to be continued..." feel. well done!
