And here it is!

Recorded at 2 AM in a drainage pipe.

I know your style, and as I'm not really into that type of free form, I can appreciate it. Nicely done though. 2am in a drainage pipe? So many questions come to mind.

What did you use to record?
What instruments are those?
Were you alone?
Where is said drainage pipe (ie on your property, across the street, etc.)?

This tune shows your dedication to your craft, and the gumption to embrace it. My hats off.

Normally for outdoor recordings I record on a handheld recording device, but unfortunately the USB part of the device isn't working anymore so I can't put the material on my computer anymore. So I shot a video on my iPhone. I placed it at the end of the pipe and played in the centre to get the full echo effect.

It's an acoustic guitar tuned to D-Ab-D-D-Ab-D (a few cents off from bending and all that when I was practicing which adds a creepier element to it.)

Yes, quite.

The drainage pipe is a couple of miles from my place, underneath a closed road. You have to walk 60 feet or so through brush to find it.

Thanks man! Can't wait to hear your track and the other tracks people submit.

Great tracks guys!

Frownland: I'm amazed to hear that this is just you with a guitar, it sounds like a whole group of people performing. And the circumstances under which you recorded it were awesome. I loved the mood of it, I felt like I was in some vast hallway in an ancient alien temple listening to it. Very cool stuff!

Plankton: Your song had such a great cinematic feel. While I was listening I could just imagine the final shot in some movie—the camera pulling back to reveal a wide open landscape, the credits beginning to roll. I really liked how you handled the bass here and the terrific peaks and valleys dynamic you had going on with the song structure. Out of curiosity, how was this recorded?

And here's mine: Mister Zoon—"The Hollow Earth"
