Another Trial of the Song But Not Recorded

The way it goes is I'll start fiddling with how I want the solo intro to go into the first phrase, just to try it a bit.  That goes into, well, how would this voice sound on top of the phrase, I wonder.  The way it is supposed to go is one loop dry then come in with the vocal.  But then I get screwed around being all composerish and it winds up with, well, it looks like it's instrumental this time and let's get the Galaxy Guitar into it.  By that time, it's way too late to start a camera.

Yevette made a point of saying it was a beautiful and it does feel good to hear that.  I said it was a shame it took this long to get to thinking I can play it.  Of course I see the absurdity of that but it's still real.

There was another bit after which may be "Electrica Pogostica" because it was two chords, echoing real nice, and simple but made one hell of a beat.  That's the sort of thing for going completely ripshit with the fingerwork.  That came off tight so I was thinking, well, ain't this nice.

This "Electrica Pogostica" doesn't fit anywhere in "The End of the World in Fort Worth" ... but ... maybe that's alright if it goes "The Sanctuary Song" then "Hey Baby" and then this "Electrica Pogostica" to close it.  That way it goes from cosmic to inviting to, well, all-out raunchy.  It's not porno raunch but it's clear enough what's happening on the other side of the bridge isn't just a garden party.

That just occurred to me and I like it.  There are no lyrics for doing that but it needs something suggestive but not overt and tasteful without being coy.

It will be some hours to think about that ... because ...


Now it's about timing because it's not all that common for both of us here to be awake at the same time.  She said to go ahead with recording even while she is trying to sleep and I know she means it but I still don't think it's cool if I do it.  I can get the feedback I want at relatively low volume levels but there's no chance of sleeping through that.

Maybe the real trial is to shoot it with lasers later so the trial is at the same light level.  Vision amid the lasers is a remarkable thing because you can't easily see things which are there and you see many things which are not (i.e. the laser beams through the smoke surround me and move over every object).

I need to be able to see the Galaxy Guitar and the lasers make that hella difficultish.  This is not any kind of a setup for a cop as in 'oh, it sucked ... but ... that's because.'  Not acceptable.  If it sucks, it means do it again.

Doing it with smoke is asking a bit much of Yevette because the fogger doesn't just do only this room, the smoke / fog goes all over the house.  It needs some blow through to clear it out after I do it.  The stuff doesn't smell terrible but it does look a little weird when visibility gets like a jungle swamp.


Why not get a little Doctor Frankenstein with this fogger since we know what the fog juice has in it so that makes us wonder what else we could put in it.  The fog comes from blowing water with glycerin over a heater coil and it's considered non-toxic.

So ... what if we add food coloring to it.

Anything which would affect the lasers would have the unfortunate side-effect of being deadly poisonous.  For example, anything reflective will likely be some tiny bits of metal and it would look fantastically cool ... at least until you died from what that does to your lungs.

So ... then we wonder if there is anything which would not be injurious to the lungs which could be added to the fog juice to result in something which is visually reactive with the laser beams.  It seems impossible as anything reflective in the air seems like it has to be deadly poisonous or destructive.  Unknown.  Must find Mister Wizard and consult with him (i.e. Chem degree).


Some kind of essential oil is tempting to fill the room with an exotic aroma along with the smoke but any oil-based solution is almost certainly toxic.


My brothers did this with racing fuel back in the karting days.  As far as they were concerned, any flammable and / or potentially-explosive liquid could be an additive for the fuel.  They were starting with methanol as a base so you might want to reconsider who you think is crazy when I'm not the one considering something explosive ... or at least I don't think it will explode.  (Even though the fog juice is non-toxic, I've still labeled the container, an ex one-gallon plastic bottle of milk, with XXX)
