Radio/Karaoke Edit of Paranoia Infection

This is the first piece of music that I ever wrote and recorded. I seem to recall that as a child I could read music before I could read English, so it seems strange to think that I penned my first bit of musical creation at the ripe age of twenty-seven.

The full version of Paranoia Infection was about twice as long and contained many verses of misanthropic lyrics. It was all written and recorded during the evening of 31st December 2007-1st January 2008. Part of the original soundtrack featured the sounds of fireworks in Old Trafford celebrating the New Year.

I particularly like the entry of the distorted guitars, but most especially the ring of the overdriven piano.

Involved:

• GarageBand
• some XLR and instrument LightSnakes
• Dream, my seven-string Ibanez
• a Digitech RP-7
• my gorgeous piano
• various breakbeat samples

I’m reliving the misery of the time in the hope of increased musical productivity later this week…
