The Dangers of Buying an Older House
October 31, 2008 12:49 PM
A moody composition on behalf of the things in our new house that very much want us to know we were there first. Happy Halloween!
I've never really done something quite like this before, and it was a lot of fun putting it together. Viva the music challenges, which I've been failing to live up to for too long now.
We haven't actually noticed any ghosts or geists or misc. paranormal citizenry in the house since we moved in, but I did my best to make up for it by getting as much ambient house audio on this as possible. Also: pots-and-wooden-spoons percussion.

Felicitations on the new house!
And this is a great song. Its artsy ... but it is not nearly pretentious enough for that label. Its kitschy, but the quality of the music is too good for that word. I just don't have an adequate artistic vocabulary to describe how your music is always surprising and always pleasing.

This is great, cortex. Sorry that I'm just now listening to it and all.

Nice! Assuming that you tracked this all yourself, you did a good job of letting it breathe, and not fall into an airless multitrack straightjacket.

YoBananaBoy: I believe the word you were looking for was "Floyd-esque".
