Less Ordinary
I recently rediscovered this old recording I made in February 2006.
I was visiting my mum and step-dad in Minehead in the UK. I brought my guitar and my 2006 white MacBook with me. I'd been playing around with a song for a while and decided to put a recording together.
I layered about 5 guitar pieces together, all recorded using the MacBook microphone. At one point you can hear the fan from the laptop kick in.
The song is called Less Ordinary, I have no idea why. Maybe I got it from the film Life Less Ordinary. I might have liked that film at the time.
I remember pretty distinctly listening to Sleater-Kinney's The Woods for the first time on this trip. My song is nothing like Sleater-Kinney, but somehow these two things are related in my memory.
Audio Description
A soft melancholy sounding song played on an acoustic guitar.
Strummed chords back a plucked melody.
About halfway through the song the whirring of a laptop fan starts in the background.
