I did my "nice" remix of the Imogen Heap vocal track "The Song That never Was" in the previous blog post.

It's time to let Ruiner Severhead hit that shit.


The song is supposed to be about the first day of school.


cute.


Ruiner HATED school!


feel free to download for better sound.


for free. to kids.

Some production notes for the insanely curious.

The main bass line is the American P Bass running through a modified "synth" patch on the Boss GT10. It's NOT midi.

Guitar sounds are both actual guitar and piccolo bass. Although - once it hits the scrotum smasher - all that shit sounds the same anyway.

All the texture type effects were created from recording the sound of the Larkspur Ferry I ride into San Francisco every morning. I recorded "down below" near the back where engines are. I put the sound into a granular synth and tweaked.

I also changed the vocal melodically by pitch shifting various notes to support the harmonic minor flavor. Gives the track a totally different feel.

enjoy.

Sounds like a fight scene from the new Watchmen flick.
