Podcast: The Process of Making a Song

This week I'm doing something a little different. You can now listen to me provide a running commentary on one of my own songs. I talk about the chords, working with MIDI, EQ, robots, and how stuff comes together to make a cohesive whole. It's like having the Makeshift Musician come over to your house! In a non-creepy kind of way. You can download the original, non-commentizated track, Ashur, the Sky God here. Then,

Glad you liked it. It was a ton of fun to put together the commentary. I hope to more stuff like it in the future.
