Sunset at the Gallows

Been spending a lot of time these last few works learning html/css as a stepping stone towards a different career path. Not 100% sure what I want to do yet but I'm just having fun making websites and it might even be cool to make something interactive to compliment my music. Currently following along with the Odin Project, so some java and ruby will come into play at some point. Once I get a solid foundation I'm hoping I might be able to do some pretty cool stuff.
Anyways, I keep putting off my weeklybeat until Sunday morning haha. It worked out the last few weeks but I'm less inspired today. I got a looming migraine that will probably ruin the rest of my weekend so I decided to go with something bare bones to keep stress low. Simple chord progression, tried adding some extensions to the chords to outline melodic movement and some background texture using an ebow on guitar. The second half comes from an unrelated idea that I pitch-shifted to be in A minor, then reversed the take, then slathered in reverb. I do the reverse-trick maybe a bit too often but I think it makes things sound like a string section even if there are no strings in the source audio, which I love the sound of. The whole vibe of the song is very dismal and I guess I was drawing from Le Gibet by Maurice Ravel for inspiration (pretty much the only classical song I often cite) so that's why I gave it a title involving the gallows.
