My music video to celebrate the 207th anniversary of Frankenstein

[Cat Burrito]

In the Autumn, my band released a 5 track EP based around books we read and liked. The end song was "Monster", based on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Both of us (the band) felt the EP was our finest release so we have done a video to promote a second song. In case people were sick of our faces, we decided not to be in it... although there is a school of thought that could forgive you if you thought we actually were in it!

 

The interesting thing(s) about this track are;

 

1) It's the first track I didn't play the main bass part. We wanted to mix things up so I played bass VI, keyboard and 12 string guitar on it,

2) The monster growl is actually my cat, sampled and dropped a couple of octaves,

3) The origins of the song were me sat on my sofa with a keyboard but when I sent it to Nick he started recording it with the chords in the wrong order. It actually worked better. The great thing about duos are the ways we interpret each others ideas.

 

Anyway, for the minority who may be interested, enjoy. Warning: contains mild peril!
