I can't be arsed to remix it though - water under the bridge and all that - and I can't varispeed on my DAW anyway. This has quite a history. I wrote most of the melody more than 10 years ago at a time when I had no recording gear at all and I just got the idea down on a portable cassette recorder. I got an 8-track some years later and recorded a version - badly. I then re-recorded a different version on my faithful Yamaha AW2400 about 3 years ago. I then forgot all about it. That happens a lot with me - huge effort spent, weeks of meticulous fucking around with levels, EQ etc, and as soon as it's finished it goes on a shelf to gather dust. For the curious - Henrietta Park is in Bath (England). I used to work in that beautiful city (a World Heritage site no less - the only whole city in the world with that designation) and used to go the this park sometimes at lunchtime when I needed some space to think...... post:music.metafilter.com,2009:site.3587 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:04:02 -0800 MajorDundee English indie rock http://music.metafilter.com/3587/Henrietta-Park#18717 Nice stuff. It sounds dated, but in a pleasant way. Love the way you take some time to sing the word &quot;Henrietta.&quot; comment:music.metafilter.com,2009:site.3587-18717 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 22:38:51 -0800 edlundart
