[[[[[images/Spinnaker.jpg]]]]]+[[[[[images/StarWars.jpg]]]]] I+have+yet+to+create+my+first+true+original+piece+of+music, and+yet+I+can+not+create+anything, as+I+am+not+truly+a+musician+yet, so+I+must+copy+someone+else's+work+still, or+else+it+will+be+beyond+my+skills. But+I+am+a+professional+listner+of 70s+rock+music+since+teenhood, and+would+not+compromise+on+low+quality+or+very+few+tracks, having+followed+[[Beatles|The+Beatles]]+track+expansion+history+in+my+teens.

Damn,+I+want+at+least+twenty+minutes, and+even+with+copying, I+must+tell+you, playing+the+guitar+is+not+like+pressing a+button+on+a+xerox+machine. Copying+takes+time+too+-+lots. So+I+can't+copy+if+I+want+to+die+a+musician, It+will+take+too+long, and+I+am+young+and+agile+and+arrogant, and+want+things+right+now. So+I+made+an+experiment. I+took+three+of+the+Crickets+III+rythms+my+fingers know+so+well+by+now, and+recorded+them+one+on+top+of+the+other. I+forgot+to+mention+this+is+several+weeks after+I+changed+my+guitar+to+Stanley+Jordan's fourth+tuning,+after+long+and+painful+hesitation.

This+was+very+time+conserving. It+is+always+like+that+when+you+avoid+doing+rather+than+do. [[[[[images/clock.gif]]]]]+[[[[[images/Logic.gif]]]]]+ I+did+a+bit+more+inspection+on+the+net+regarding+[[voicing+(music)|voicing]]+- a+concept+I+had+just+recently+heard+for+the+first+time, after+watching+Stanley+Jordan's+video+for+the+seventh+time. [[[[[images/quadraticEquation.jpg]]]]] With+the+new+forth+tuning+it+was+almost+too+easy to+find+new+and+simple+voicings+on+the+higher side+of+the+neck. Back+to+the+ducks,+the+experiment+was+a+shear+wow. It+sounded+like+chords,+marching. [[[[[images/MarchingHammers.gif]]]]] The+rest+was+easy. I+took+from+the+Hammerhead+Rythm+Station+Software+a Basic+Rock+beat+at+240,+which+I+later+discarded, and+created+a+[[Metronome|metronome]]-like+[[Multitrack+recording|track]]+with+the+A+note+on+the+one. [[[[[images/HammerHead.jpg]]]]]+[[[[[images/Metronome.jpg]]]]] This+was+quite+boring,+so+I+only+did+five+minutes, and+I+doubled+it+with+[[Audacity|Audacity]]. And+again,+ending+with+twenty+minutes. [[[[[images/Audacity.jpg]]]]] The+A+track+reminded+me+of+the+chaos+in [[Strawberry+Fields+Forever|Strawberry+Fields+Forever]], especially+with+the+semi+chaos+I+had+just+heard in+my+experiment. So+I+tagged+this+piece+up+front, only+to+discover+its+a+B, and+that+[[Audacity|Audacity]]+nicely+brings+it+down+to+an+A, with+a+menu+button. [[[[[images/strawberry.jpg]]]]] I+also+tagged+one+in+the+back, to+make+sure+my+lack+of+confidence+is+not+lost+by+anyone, as+if+someone+is+actually+listening+to+my+music. [[[[[images/StrawberryFields.jpg]]]]]+[[[[[images/meddle.jpg]]]]] My+fingers+only+knew+six+separate sequences+from+Crickets+III, so+I+recorded+six+tracks. [[[[[images/prisoner.jpg]]]]] Given+I+had+just+recorded+about+all+I+know+how+to+play, save+The+Hunger+rythm, I+thought+it+might+be+good+for+the+general+chaos to+throw+this+one+in+as+well.

I+can+picture+a+scene+from+[[Fantasia+(film)|Fantasia]]. At+first+there+is+a+chaos+of+ducks,+trying+to+find the+better+way+to+be+obidient+to+the+rest+of+the+ducks. It+takes+them+about+forty+seconds+to+all+start+tilting+together,+ except+that+one+little+duckling+is+always+begging+for+help. This+was+when+in+the+high+pitch+sequence I+decided+to+reverse+the+one+and+the+three, so+that+the+A+falls+together+with+more other+As+from+the+other+sequences. [[The_Magnificent_Seven|It+seemed+like+a+good+idea+at+the+time]], and+the+result+was+hilarious, though+not+remotely+resembling+goals+or+expectations. +[[[[[images/Fantasia.jpg]]]]] The+hunger+was+about+the+same. Only+after+I+already+had+the+Fantasia+mental+picture+in+place, and+since+I+recorded+the+hunger+track+unevenly, mixing+the+base+sequence+on+the+same+track+alternately, from+shear+exaustion,+by+the+way, it+occured+to+me+it+is+actually+mother+duck, making+sure+everyone+is+in+line, which+they+hardly+ever+are+all+at+once. After+all,+I+don't+quite+know+how+to+play+yet. And+so+I+raised+a+bit+the+volume+of+this+track.
