So, today I finished tracking the guitars for the UV Landscape demo...and might I say it took long enough...
I finally got the general concepts down in a pretty tangible form and the songs are "grown up" so to speak... The essential idea for the first three Warlocks-Spectrum of Orbit, Holographic Thoughts, and Ultraviolet Landscape is something like...well yeah, we're all driving or moving around....then something hollow, graphic, and newsworthy sort of stops us and makes us start thinking like grown ups... and at first, everything is so...burned. UV is like...some of the older songs in my catalog, so, the concept is for the album to sound almost perfectly imperfect; with the simple songs being way cooler live... I recently levelled off the guitar tracks for Pandora's Box, which is just like "why do people talk so much unecessarily....are they tied up to some sort of permanence that only allows them to speak all the time....and when that is the case, its like their mouths become pandora's box...," and its really nice having the bass/drum track switch off from stereo sides... Hoping to start recording the vocals tomorrow...we'll see...as in myself and the world...what happens...
TinyBuddah. One of the better twitter accounts out there... TinyBuddah posted something about "It is better to take a loss than an impure gain..." which made me think: Losses are kind of gravitational physics in the invisible realm of sound, thought, godwork in general.... They are almost like a ball bouncing...eventually things go up...then down...then up... like words bounce off of walls...
Bank Robbers. Always disheartening to read about these situations. Really makes me wish the Oakland Police Department had given me an opportunity to excel in law enforcement; however, that was before a few very fast leadership change-ups, so I think it might have been because I was too honest. Anyways, the FBI, which I am an avid subscriber to, posted some pictures of three bank robbers. Now, the first thing I notice is the matching baby blue items on both of the first two pictures; right away a sign of pride. The next thing is basketball shoes... And, that leads to either Miami Dolphins fans, Georgetown NCAA fans, or street gang affiliations... The next thing I noticed were the placement of the shoes; suspects 1 and 2 are clearly more distinguishable as the two who had little involvement in the planning stage...why? Because, one of the jumped over the counter, leaving a clean shoe print; the other was more like the fearless follower, and the probable mastermind - suspect 3, was very careful not to step anywhere where any clear footprints could be traced. However, they all slipped up if they were thinking they can get away with it for those reasons alone.
I should've been a detective; anyways, the first two are clearly closer in relationship than the third; they are both trendy, clearly more focus'd on looks and pride as opposed to intelligent decisions...whereas the third suspect seems like he cares less about his appearance, and more about getting away with something; so, this all adds up to people who are known members of their community; probably the 3rd suspect has prior arrests for theft; the other two seem to be avid fans/participants of sports and most likely will be recognized sooner than they think.
But, why do Bank Robberies even happen? First of all, its like pandora's box... someone sees any t.v. show or commercial, which costs sooo much money these days, and is automatically under the impression that the stigma to get used to in society is not what you have to offer for who you are, but for what you could get. What does that mean? Simple... its like the whole notion of "the devil" in the Bible. Simple analysis leads one to realize D E V I L is merely an alphabetical cipher... A B C...D E [f] [ghI] [jkL]...was the alphabet back then.... so, nowadays people see it as an EVIL form of some existance....however, its not even that significant... In the same sense, what is the amount of money significant in life for? It becomes more significant with the priorities and amounts of balance either swaying, gaining, or losing in life. So, if there is say, some sort of expensive car payment and a recent job loss, the money becomes a bigger "need," to function whereas if people are more wise, and don't let the "devil" kind of complexities overrun their lives, money is a simple hammer... I don't know about other people, but I love tools that are forever useful... and all I know, much like what TinyBuddah wrote, is that I'd rather have my own, self-bought and picked out hammer than some community hammer that keeps everything nicely in place...without regard to all the turbulence in the world around...
Why burn the worldview, when there are so many hazards already...
Makes you kind of wish there was some sort of way for people who do rob banks and stuff to just realize they made a hasty and severe mistake...and that they can give it back without any overly harsh punishments, but, you know, if you point a gun at anyone for no reason....how can you give that moment back? Its a double-edged sword. Kinda like Ultraviolet light and the surrounding Landscape we live in...
