Final Foray
About 10 years ago, I recorded a song called “First Foray” with my new-at-the-time doumbek and my acoustic guitar. It was my “first foray” (groan) into multi-track recording: I used the double cassette deck on my stereo and bounced four tracks back and forth on top of each other. I think that tape is still in my Mom’s storage locker, but I suppose it could be one of those Black Sabbath or Metallica dubs I finally got rid of* last year.
Anyway, while I was learning to actually multi-track (from cassette four-track to DAWs), I re-recorded the song a few times — adding parts and re-arranging. I got pretty sick of it after this one, so I named it “Final Foray” (get it? Because it’s my final foray into First Foray? re-groan).
On a redundancy scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being Girl Talk and 10 being Chocolate Rain, I’d give it about an 8.
Warning: I’ve been told that it makes people nauseous if they listen with headphones because of the ridiculous panning.
