I mentioned in an earlier post that I have numerous pieces of music in process at once. Messy as that sounds, I have a variety of good reasons for that approach.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main ones is that I have hundreds of song idea recordings going back to the late 1980&#8217;s. While the vast majority admittedly suck, that still leaves a LARGE pool of goodish ideas that I&#8217;m dying to work on. These recordings are often just the seeds of ideas. A good riff, harmony, lyric, bass line, feel, what have you, that take work, intuition, and massaging to form into a whole piece. <\/p>\n<p>Having many to work on at once allows me to stay productive. If I burn out on one piece, I have many others to turn to to keep going. It also allows me to step away from a piece I&#8217;ve listened to so often I can no longer hear it clearly.<\/p>\n<p>That was &#8220;Tearing Linen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Tearing Linen<\/h2>\n<p>I wish I could tell you more about the origin of the idea but I really don&#8217;t remember. It&#8217;s based on open C and, uh, slid up to D. I think that about covers it.<\/p>\n<p>From the sounds of the original recording on my phone, dated October 5th, 2019, I&#8217;m guessing I just stumbled across sliding open C up the neck a touch and liked what I heard. Thankfully I nixed the wah-wah pedal when I re-recorded it for this demo. <\/p>\n<p>Then, apparently, I set it aside. According to the note in my DAW file list, I hadn&#8217;t touched the song file in two years. I was probably unsure of what to do with the two guitar tracks I&#8217;d recorded. That&#8217;s a common issue I have. &#8220;Well, that&#8217;s recorded. Now what?!?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After two years away from it, however, I heard it with fresh ears and liked what I heard, almost unadorned. In the end, I just added some bass and a little polish, like I said above. And voila.<\/p>\n<p>As to the name, well. I find music evocative of feelings, times, settings, images, actions, and more. Sometime, the reason for the evocation is obvious and clear. At other times, it&#8217;s a mystery. Why this is &#8220;Tearing Linen&#8221; to me, I couldn&#8217;t say &#8211; but it is. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tearing Linen&#8221; and my other songs can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/caemusic2.bandcamp.com\/\">CAE bandcamp page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Concept, samples, bass, and guitar: CAE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;d almost completely forgotten about &#8220;Tearing Linen&#8221; when I queued it up for a listen the other day. &#8220;Say, that&#8217;s not too bad,&#8221; I thought. &#8220;Just needs a bass line and a little polish.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[107,38],"tags":[366,906],"class_list":["post-12071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-best","category-music","tag-bass","tag-guitar"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tearing Linen - demo track<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"I&#039;d almost completely forgotten about &quot;Tearing Linen&quot; when I queued it up for a listen the other day.
