UPDATE Pigeonholed and Shoehorned (comments first)

Liner Notes

#commentsfirst

Just read @candle s post about this challenge AND I WANNA DO IT TOO!!

Candle, if you’re reading this, please get sweet revenge on me for my entry in your song…but I also expect to hear a choir of farts on your song.

No rules n the animal kingdom, let’s get weird. Tell present-me what future-me will have written.

FUTURE ME: got some really good suggestions for a weird one. Pidgeons are attacking me throughout the track...idk how they got into the studio, but they're here now and it is war...and war is hell...5 tuba tracks sampled from the corniest sounding youtube royalty free clip i could find. pitched them at standard, and then at intervals of Vths and octaves. used my handy glockenspiel to defend against an attack of kamikaze birds and near the end i was disoriented and did two bars of the song in 5/4 as i was seeing stars at the time and counting was hard. all my screaming was picked up and added to the eerie vibe. also my spatial recognition was off and most of my guitar playing was behind the nut/below the saddle or with the pick flat against the string. not sure what i was doing.

i think that's everybody! thanks this was a fun piece of musical theatre

This is really cool! I love the details on how you made it.

Touche, it is definitely upbeat, and like circus creepy.

This is brilliant! The screaming mixed with the pigeon sounds is fantastic. Now I have to live up to this with the fart choir… 😆

See You In The Shadows…

How'd you make it upeat and eerie at the same time?
[avatar]
Hey, bud, I liked the upbeat, catchy chorus, but why'd you put the screaming over top of it?!?
[avatar]
@sirius thank you. Seek vengeance upon me. I agree I deserve it.

I always enjoy irony in songs, so the pigeon sounds appearing now and then throughout the track made my day.
And that bridge in 5/4 is simply brilliant. Totally unexpected, but really well done. Great work!
(Avenging my buddy @candle there, quite perfidiously because I won't do comments first stuff. 😁)

Dang, that glockenspiel really adds a punch!
[avatar]
Oh the sounds that you got out of the guitar!

I love the chorus of tubas as part of the melody line.
