Halcyon

I used to love this song back in the day. This was back when I didn't care too much for electronic music, but this song was one of a few exceptions.



I found my original copy yesterday (the single edit, not the one on the album, which is the one in most of the videos). I actually like the album version better, but it's cool that I still have the original single version.

It inspired me to remake it on my guitar pedal (it has a loop function). I pulled it off and just for fun, I recorded it. I then added more layers and percussive strokes by beating a bottle with a pencil. Since I have a drum machine that I still haven't read the manual for, I decided to plug the little bastard in and play the beats on it. Here it is in its unquantatized, sloppy, lo-fi glory!
