Day Twenty Two: Dick Tales

Dick Tales by mothersofgut



Today I was joined by a most reputable chap, Sergio Camerena of Jesus Makes the Shotgun Sound, and together we concocted what I consider to be a wonderful monstrosity!
The theme behind this one is that the future depicted in the 50's became a reality, and our protagonist feels the weight of technology looming over him, pushing him to the brink of madness and ultimately to self-inflicted death.
Fun stuff!

Lyrics:
Cars are flying overhead
Tomorrow came and never past.
Who am I to blame for this
ordinary lunacy?
Photographs are meaningless;
misdirected synergy.
Running on the waterfront,
the only way is out for me.

Day Twenty One: Old Woman Smiling

Old Woman Smiling by mothersofgut

This song features an excerpt from "Old Man Smiled" by Throbbing Gristle, off their album Heathen Earth, which to this day remains one of my favorite industrial records.
To me, the result sounds like Panda Bear and Blonde Redhead in a threesome with Genesis P-Orridge.

To commemorate the 20th day of this project, I went back and remixed/recompressed all previous tracks and have made them available for free download. They are seperated into two folders.

Days 1-10
Days 11-20

Only ten more days!

Day Twenty: Talk Less

Talk Less by mothersofgut

The other day, my friend Ryan Bergmann showed me The Music Machine's "Talk Talk," and it moved me so much that I felt compelled to remix and mash it up with my own material. I figured the only way to do it any justice was to make it as raw and grinding as possible, so I hope you dig the sleaze.

Day Nineteen: See Your Face

See Your Face by mothersofgut



Today, I recorded this lovely bout of riffery with my dear friend Marcio Rivera from the Summer Twins. We got started a little late, but luckily Marcio had all the ideas ready when he got here, and we hammered them all out fairly quickly. I love the simple, punchy straightforwardness of this one, and as it turned out I didn't have to do much since Marcio knew his way around Logic better than me. He even showed me some cool new plugins to use, so expect recordings that don't suck in the future.

Day Eighteen: Church of Applebees

Church of Applebees by mothersofgut



Today was seriously incredible!
Ryan Bergmann, of Duhkha fame, laid down a super slick bassline for this one, and even lended his superb crooning.
I feel like we've created a mutant. A glorious and magnificent mutant!

Day Seventeen: Love for You to See

Love for You to See by mothersofgut

Today I had the pleasure of recording The Summer Twins!
I toyed around with some effects on the girls' vocals, but quite honestly they're so good they don't even need it.
This has been the easiest and most efficient day yet!
I actually lost count of the days earlier, which I think is a good sign that this whole thing is evolving from work into play.
