Busy morning today.
STILTWALKER
Prepared a rough stereo mix of the work to date in CE5 and copied it on to my Tascam 2488. All ready for tracking bass tomorrow...
GOMORRAH
A new track, and not one that I'd planned to do at all, but the other day the following quatrain(?) came to me by way of inspiration...
GOMORRAH (draft lyrics - excerpt)
Baby's going back to Gomorrah
She's leaving on the morning train
I'll take her to the station tomorrah
I wonder will I see her again?

As I said, I wasn't planning on doing this track at all, and I certainly hadn't intended writing lyrics at this stage of the process, but when inspiration comes, it comes and should be welcomed.
As it happens, I'm jotting down whatever useful phrases I come across these days for potential use as lyrics. Even the odd phrase that might appear from time to time, totally by accident, in these blogposts. This is not how I usually approach lyric writing - normally I just start with a blank page and an equally blank mind, but I would then come up with the lyrics to a song in one go. Then again, D(O)UB(T) isn't about songs as such...
I recorded a metronome track (75 bpm) in CE5 using the Behringer Xenyx 1202 and transferred it onto the Tascam 2488.
I plan to recycle a bass line that I'd used on my track The Survivalists' Guide To Hardwood Flooring...
...which featured on my 2008 album, RAW MESH.
(Sorry I couldn't imbed the track properly in this post. Bloody Reverbnation...)
I hadn't liked what I'd done with the bass line at the time, and so I plan to make amends this time out. I hope to track the new bass line on Wednesday.
That's enough to be going on with for the moment.
