Another improvised song

"Shitty 'n' Sloppy Fingerbleedin' Pickin' (Out of Smokes, All Washed Up and No Place to Go!)"

When you sit down and write a song, you're essentially writing directions on the roadmap of music. The notes you play are the roads you take, and in predetermined music, you always go from point A to point B with a set path. Whereas with music made in the spontaneous moment, you're wandering aimlessly in all directions and wherever you please, focusing more on the trip than the destination. That's why I love improvisation.

Portfolio + Tunes

I put together an instrumental jam track in FL studio. Electric guitar/bass and a 12 string acoustic recorded set to computerized drums. Not bad for my first real effort at throwing together a song.



And while you're at it, check out my graphic design portfolio.
