The song was created in three parts over a period of a few months. Originally, it was just the first part minus the end speech and triple-voice dub that starts in the middle of the song. However, as I kept going back and reworking certain parts of the song, I had found myself with three separate versions. I decided to stitch them together into a final track, and that was is you are hearing now.

Voice over- at the time I had no access to any sort of "decent" recording equipment, so I wound up recording the voice with this cheap little desktop microphone I had had in my possession for a few years. I was actually kind of amazed it picked up my voice at all, seeing as I'm a fairly low talker in just about every situation.

Sweet. I like your style, I think that having the right equipment isn't always as important as the feeling you put into something, anyway. Listening to "Consecration" right now. Sounding good! Very mellow percussion. Good job :D

Thanks! I agree on the equipment comment- to an extent. At some point, however, trying to record voice-over and picking up everything in a two-block radius because your microphone is horrid can become a nuisance.

Haha, yeah, I hear you. I just mean that it can sometimes be one of those overcompensation things, especially for bands (which is the context that I usually work in), where everyone is so worried about their gear that they don't pay any attention to what anyone else is playing, or how the chemistry is with everyone!

I'm pretty sure that's how a friend's band in high school met their end- or at least, from what I remember him saying about it. Not so much the equipment in general but rather how they interacted with each other as a unit. Which is a shame, because they had a few decent tracks.

Yeah, it's why most bands fail, I think! There's usually no boss, like with most groups of people, even orchestras have a conductor ;p
