Dead Space

Are you daunted by overwhelming feelings of being alone in the universe? Do you subject yourself daily to various situations that have bathed liberally in inconsequentiality? Is your inane, sedentary lifestyle taking it’s toll physically/mentally? Are you somewhat excited by the otherwise morose thought of how beautiful it will be when your life ends, and you take your final breath?

Yes.

This AM I performed a “dry run” of both my recently-aquired and serviced ‘74 Fender Rhodes, coupled with my new Universal Audio 710 Twin-Finity “Tone-Blending Mic/Line & Hi-Z Instrument DI” Preamp. I think the results are spectacular, and both purchases were well worth it! I’m going to start calling the Rhodes an “idea machine”, because every time I sit down at it, new music is projectile-vomited out like adolescent angst in suburbia.

Herein is a “demonstration” of a composition sure to end up in the “Book of Metatron”, this is Metatron VI, code-named “Miles Davis”. I’ve been listening to a LOT of electric Miles as of late, and it’s creeping into my DNA.
