about

I went into this with a lazy, laid-back vibe in mind. All I really knew when I started recording was that I wanted that cheesy-sounding organ sound and probably some guitar.

The end result sounds pretty simple but has a lot of weird things happening: multiple guitar parts, some stuff playing backwards, some forwards, some sounds switch left/right panning, the sax part was originally going to be multiple saxes in harmony, but ended up as a single, sometimes-countermelody, sometimes-harmony thing.

I kind of want to start a band that sounds like this.

The piece ended up being paired with a snapshot I took at a music festival that I've just always liked.
