intro annotated

The intro.
The intro's got to be dramatic, that's why there are tympani drums. Also tom/tympani rolls, they too are very dramatic.

And cinematic. It's got to paint a picture or create the soundtrack to various things in life. This intro isn't exactly what I started out to make but nothing really is, you know. My favorite track on the first rye goalie cd was the intro. It was one of those tracks where when you're done making it and you have no idea how you did it. I still have issues with this song but you've got to let go. These songs have to grow up on their own, have their own adventures, etc, etc. Whatever.

I got this whole "tape" theme going on here. I also use the word "got" instead of have too much. I tend to say "can I" as opposed to "may I" also, what are you going to do? Anyway, the tape thing.

The first rye goalie had a record crackle beginning so I kicked it up a notch (bam!) and went to cassette. There is something nice and chunky about the physicalness and portability of cassette tapes.
