about

This experimental “song” was done when I was about 16 years old. I had been playing the guitar for only several months by this point. My friend, Sean, had just learned how to play bass at that time. (I was proficient at bass by the age of 10 since I first learned that instrument when I was about 7-8 years old.) Sean and I decided to perform 45 minutes straight, using a riff from Peter Gunn and just going from there. I only had about two main sounds back then, which was reverb and chorus, so there are no spectacular sounds that came from it. Some of the leads weren’t bad for a beginner, but other parts were purely silly. It was pretty much Sean and I playing the bass, guitar, and bongos along with making some vocal noises for 45 minutes straight, which is one full side of a cassette tape. It was recorded from a two track recorder. Then, after that side was finished, we flipped the tape over and did it again. It showed quite a bit of stamina for a couple of kids. In Aug, 2012, I decided to put a non-stop drum part, which also taxed my stamina as an older performer. I was 43 years old when I put the drum part in--27 years older than the original recording. I always intended to overdub a drum part to this “song” but I didn’t know how to play drums at that time. I still claim I don’t know how to play drums, which I believe is true, but I at least can keep a beat nowadays. However, this “song” speeds up, slows down, and changes beats from time to time, which was all done on purpose—to a certain extent. You’ll hear little “special effects” in places where the drums got too rough to listen to, so I covered it up with that. So, for a little piece of personal, silly history, I present....(and this is another one of those “songs” that I dare anyone in their right mind to listen to it in full.)
This is song #225.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
