The iPad contains a back track for "Wind on the Waves" that I recorded over ten years ago. I'm advised of associations with the song about which I was not aware as what I see in it is exactly what's in the video. The wind pushing waves toward someplace they never really get is a delicious existential framework and the sailing about within that gives a poignance I like as both, despite all the huffing and puffing, never really go anywhere. The delight is that you can do all this without going anywhere.
This may well be "The Paradise Song."
Instead of using the iPad as an input to the mixer so I can play another guitar line along with it, the time travel aspect is through plugging it into the looper to capture it. In this way, 2004 or so adds with 2014 in the guitar line on the looper. The recording is digital so the capture is the same as if it happened when I first did it. There is enough memory to absorb it but then how does it go when the song clearly starts and ends.
This is not to do a Voodoo on it as adding instruments gratuitously would be insulting to him. The additionals are important to demonstrate why this specific locus is or is not Paradise ... but without saying that in words. If I do not use the instruments then it is something that could have happened in Hell, Michigan, for all the difference it makes. (There really is a Hell, MI. They get off on that. I imagine they get a lot of 'Wish You Were Here' re-post requests.)
This is really thin but possibly the song repeating itself is an example of the tide. There is already a wind voice within it so conceivably a longer voice builds a wave motion that contains the entire song and bridges it to repeat.
Then it is possible to add more tracks (as permitted by remaining memory).
This might even work. Maybe there's a Big Storm between iterations of Wind on the Wave and that gives reason to add bass since the waves get a bit bigger and whatever needs to be in there.
Only thing left is to experiment. That is impossible right now but later today.
