Disturbance by Rick Alan Rice

This is version 6 of this song, which is dead simple musically but turns into a complicated production for my little home studio. It is a mess with a little bit of wonderfulness worming its way in here and there, maybe saving the thing. I added a little guitar line in the beginning that is intended to expand this sense of a vortex opening, which is the storyline.

No idea where this came from, though it seems to have a lot to do with the energies in my novel "The Goat Farm". It is a metaphysical change story with a persistent beat and a horn section.

I am pleased with the performance of my bargain basement ES-335, that is my FireFly 338, which I used for the solo-back section about three and a half minutes in. And for other parts, as well. That is the greatest purchase I've made since discovering Elevation 2477! (Inside joke, unfair and not really true.)

Anyway, I like this recording for its blend of Roy Head kind of horn sections that I grew up listening to, the Billy Idol-ness of its '80s synth beat, the encouraging nature of the whole thing, and the fact that it exists. It wouldn't, had I stopped to think what I was doing. Hardly any conscious thought here!
