Today I gave a quickie demo of Live to my guitar instructor. I started with an empty set and threw some crap at the wall just to show him one of the work flows.

The song consists eight different patterns, which lengths varies from 12 to 16 bars. Most of the particular pattern is rest, which varies from 5 bars to 15 bars. In the beginning of the song each pattern starts simultanously, but because the patterns…

I like a bit of Mr Young and often do a few of his songs at open mike nights etc. this is one recorded as it happened onto a hand held recorder. bit rough round the edges, but so is Neil.

started out as a demo collection of parts, then the collaboration fell apart, so that's how it stays.

A further development of flakey, would love it if someone could put some chill type vocals on it

Enjoy this wordy tune. I hope I took it in a good direction. I guess I can always change it out in the future!
Thanks,
