Later Tonight… (girl)
Posted by iAreConscious in Blog on May 6, 2009
I get these creative spurts. Sometimes a day, a week or even a month. I love them. Started writing a new song. How long can I keep the melody in mind though?
Later Tonight… (girl)
Not to be nosy but I was wondering
what you’d be doin later tonight (girl)
The possibility of me providing energy
to maybe light up your life (girl)
the horizontal plane is callin our names
let’s take this opportunity to link communally
and situate our bodies by flame…(girl)
rather hot in here, let’s be sure our actions are clear
let not this rendezvous end us in pain… (girl)
that all i got so far…
These tears of a novice ghost…

I’m contemplating the approach to recording the lyrics for this one. It’ll either be real light and airy or come from the gut. Ha ha. On a major raspy pull like Kurt Cobain would do it. I’m thinking I want to create a kind of distortion coupled with phone line type effect on the vocals. With a lot of erratic panning. I’ll do a few different versions play with my tone and discuss it with my panel of collaborators. You’ll be the first to know about it when it’s completed.
These tears ain’t tears my dear they’re tears…
My mask is calm, no threat, no need to fear
And if my eyes weren’t closed I could see you better… yeah…
And if I could conjure wind, brew storm, to show I care…
it wouldn’t matter no way…
These tears ain’t tears my dear they’re tears…
My mask is calm, no threat, no need to fear
And if I closed my eyes I could see you better…
The year is new so it’s time for me to buckle down and get this album recorded. Most all of the writing is done. There’s only one song that has yet to be written. it’s not serious though because I intend on going in the studio with a good friend and awesome singer Jane Lecroy and basically doing some improvisations based on a simple concept. I know that between the two of us and my associate producer Bani, we’ll get that one song together no problem.

Simply. The song is about this ghost that can’t haunt.
The 1st Briefing: Magnavok7

As described on their Last.fm band page Magnavok7, is a very obscure band signed to the Alter Egos partition of the Eklektic Gardens label. Little is currently known about the band and it’s members. Well I’ll put it to you plainly, you will never see them, at least in the near future. Think Gorillaz. It’s interesting working on music with these guys and the forth coming EP, ‘Let Her Bomb’ is shaping up to be quite a phenomenal work if I do say so myself. So what is my involvement? Well I’ll say I’m partly responsible for production on this album and share in the resposibility of creating awareness for this invisible band. The Maganvok7 Dossier on iareconscious.com will be a journal of some sort recording and reporting on various aspects of the ‘Let Her Bomb’ album, while allowing folks a glimpse into the world of the band called Magnavok7.
