A Song a Week 36: The Nemesis – The Confusion That Causes Pain

Friday, September 10th, 2010

I didn’t feel up to recording guitars or vocals this week, so I did an electronic instrumental piece. I had originally planned to do a sad, contemplative song (I think this might be my first song in a minor key), but it didn’t quite work out that way. I’m still pretty happy with [...]
