It's rockin' out. It's passionate in this love song. That's what Yevette said so I said, yah, what is more rock than that. They're total lost in love with passion and nuclear weapons. Without an interdimensional warp drive, you're not to get any more wild in it than that.
Now it steps up to the nuclear war aspect. The song has enough punch to make it credible that, yep, we're screwed. We're all going to die in a big blinding flash. At least it won't hurt, right? (larfs)
Previously "Andromeda Weeps" was trying out a B3 organ and you know the sound even if you don't know the name. Every rock album worth a damn had one on it somewhere. Playing the song that way wasn't turning out so cool but then the magic flash ... arpeggiation.
Arpeggiation is a weird but cool form of electronica in the ability to play multiple notes in a sequence after pressing only one. The sound it makes is complex when you play a sequence with the arpeggiation triggering from each note. It gets compound strange if you play a chord because that will set off an arpeggiation for each one of them. The result sounds like chaos in prose but the sound was cool in using that for "Andromeda Weeps."
The song with arpeggiation was recorded into the looper and then it went back to the guitar and this is the part which surprised me. I thought I'd be going for krautrock cool with electrotrips but it turned out to be really bangin'. Distortion guitar may seem like it would be too much for that but the combination was smashing with a fat concert hall synth behind it. Grandulous, it was.
This complexifies things but it shouldn't muddle the structure. The part I was doing just now is the main song and that can vary from sweet guitar up to hammerhead as the dynamic needs. There still needs to be the breakaway for love and trips and that works just fine. It's a bit wobbly about how to get Colonel Kurtz into it but the concept is clear, it's only a matter of timing. There's only one point at which he can break out so when will he do it.
After some more puddling about, using soft guitar chords as the base loop works also and this gives the Big Drama because this can switch up the Fat Metallic for the alert. Phrase 2 is for the Trips part so Phrase 3 will be a copy of the main song in Phrase 1 but with different voicing. That makes an orphan out of a part with Colonel Kurtz but the the Phrase 2 Trips part could work for him as well.
I hadn't anticipated thunderous out of this but I sure do like it. There's some concern songs are pop even if the themes are not but "Andromeda Weeps" will bury that. The song needs that kind of drama because the call to arms is to blow up the world. Surely that merits some dramatic effect.
The Trips part becomes the gentle reprieve from the horror, the horror. I'm not going to steal the things Kurtz said or do a low-down imitation of Marlon Brando's voice but the things he said were true and the concept has the same validity now when we see pseudo-wars everywhere with no clear objective, no end in sight, and no view of what it takes to achieve any kind of objective except perfunctory bombing to make pictures for CNN. Complete madness.
Got a good bit of mania going and the biggest variable for shooting it is what about a green screen. With that I can use public domain video of missile launches and put them on the back wall.
I think my mind works a lot like Jiffy Pop.
