Yup, I found some random music I made on my HDD. I thought some of it may be interesting.
Those Hills: This one I made when I got my Roland MT-25 keyboard on Feb. 2005. I love how the strings section sounds, that keyboard has a really nice wavetable. The song is somewhat odd, but I kind of like it. Has tons of chord changes get it.
La Granja Pepe (Pepe's Farm): LOL - In 1991 I was 12. In February I decided, with two friends and as a game, to "start a band". We recorded with a simple casette deck and we couldn't play any instruments, so we did odd stuff. Hell, we were 12 I still play with those guys. As a joke, I arranged one of those songs from 1991 *properly* and recorded it. Somewhat bluegrassy and contryish, but funny. get it
Ugly (Smashing Pumpkins cover, live) - Well, my band and I have been "re-arranging" that superb song for a while and we managed to change it almost completely :lol: Originally intended to be in Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, but afterwards cut off and included in the single "1979" as a b-side, this is one of our favourite SP songs 'cause of the incredible lyrics Billy wrote for it. This is a rehearsal cut I particularly like. The sound is rubbish and my pal's voice wasn't very good after having smoked quite a bit that afternoon, but hey. I play synthesizer and add backing vocals. The singer also plays guitar and our bassist does analog bass on an ancient analog Casiotone keyboard get it.
Radioaktive Noize (Demo) - This is some kind of demo I made for a song we had to play live like two days after It consisted on a sung chorus, then an incredible recitation. This is the "musical part". The recitation came over those noisy riffs. get it.
Patria o Muerte (My land or die) - The title of this song was kind the "slogan" of our fascist government last century. We made this song as a joke - The song is about someone who dies :lol: the last verse refers to the stupidty of marks, flags and political nationalism which creates xenophobes. This is a live cut - the vocal harmonies were difficult to do while playing, that's why they sound a bit out of tune, but it's scary enough. I play piano and sing, my pal plays guitar and does the main voice, my other pal plays bass and sings as well in the harmonic parts. This was a rushed arrangement as well. I think this may be the third time we played the song together. get it.
Lyrics translated:
I feel how my body and my soul go appart
I feel how my life scapes by my hands
I feel how I start to cry for those moments in this world.
My Land or die, for my Land I die.
But it couldn't last for an eternity
And the day of my death had to come.
My Land or die, for my Land I die.
I used to love my country and my flag,
And I sang my hymn solemnly, humming it.
Work will set you free
Work will set you free
(you know, my country's hymn doesn't have lyrics... or at least nobody knows them ; the "work will set you free" is what Arbeit Macht wrote in the gates to some concentration camps in Germany during the WW2 and is there to make a better picture of what we wanted to express - it was pretty controversial... but we wanted impact to talk against nationalism and racism.)
If you wanna watch us playing some odd stuff, do a search for "scumm" at youtube. We are the band, discard all those ScummVm videos :lol:
