the dustpanic: Goodonka Mornick

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

This is the first time I’ve actually had a more difficult time writing a shorter track than trying to make a song longer.

This one is a work in progress that’s going to be submitted to an audio companion for a children’s book my friend is publishing. The lyrics I (or the robot version of me) am reading are the words from the page in the book for which I was supposed to write the background music. The words on the page are weird gibberish, so it was difficult to think of a melody for them.

I like it okay, but I can’t help but feel music for a children’s book needs to be… I dunno, simpler? Let me know where you all think I should take this.

the dustpanic: Four On The Floor

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

Following the theme of “writing-music-for-the-hell-of-it” without being too conscious of the artistic integrity, I also sometimes like to write dance songs.

But I also can’t get away from playing guitar, so a lot of those oddly textured parts you’ll find in this track are all guitar tracks that have been put through some serious genetic modification.

I’m not sure if there’s more to this than that.

…yeah that’s about it.

  • A friend of mine named this track after she heard what the first guitar noise was.

Intro: the dustpanic

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

“the dustpanic” is a name I’ve used a lot of the time as a moniker for just about everything I’ve written, but it’s probably about time I picked out what does and does not necessarily sound like “the dustpanic”.

I’ve been told this kind of stuff sounds like M83 and Smashing Pumpkins, which I quite enjoy since I do like those groups; but in the future, when I write things that do not fall under this shoegaze/effects-driven/melody-based style, I will name them separately.
