1) Monsters
MONSTERS was written in the summer of 2006 at my windowsill/bench in my mom's house. While at Kenyon College, a friend had gotten me into Michael Hedges and I was amazed by his technique. This is the first time I recorded a "tapping" part in a song (@1:58). Recorded using at microphone I had borrowed from ALC-TV (Avon Lake Community Television) where I worked that summer with my friend Alison. The electric guitar was recorded direct in with GarageBand amp modeling. Not too long after, Drew overdubbed his drum track.
