logical (15s)
Info for song: logical (15s)
This was one of the very first things I recorded when I first upgraded from Bias' Deck II to Apple's Logic Pro 7 in June 2005. The drum machine and sampled piano were laid down first. Then there's goof-off solo that's replicated to four channels, each with a different Guitar Amp Pro plugin sound, and each delayed by several bars past the next to make a round.

|---|---|---|
| these days (15s) | Rocker with Jon on drums. This is just the introduction. | |
| trilobite (15s) | Snippet of an upbeat synthesizer exploration with marimba and glass bell sounds. | |
| vapors (15s) | This is the intro to an unfinished atmospheric island anthem. | |
| WTF Kokomo (15s) | This is a pretty much random splurge of piano on a drumbeat followed by an oompah-loompah tromboney thang played by sampled cellos and whatnot. I was about to go to Kokomo, Indiana, unfortunately. Not the tropical island. | |

Info for artist: The Andy Band
eclectic acoustics
Members: Andy Wyatt - vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, mandolin, ukulele, studio. Guest musicians have included co-conspirators from other projects/bands including: Jon Morse, Tim Odell, Pete Downes, Ayman Mobarak, Paul Tuckey, Tommy Whittle, Pete Bosanko, and Eric Krivitzky Years of Activity: 1978-present Overview: There are cassette tapes by "The Andy Band" dating back to 1979, when Andy was 14 years old, and he is still an avid recording musician. Sometimes The Andy Band is all about "hit record and go" improvisation, other times it's all about one-man-band multi-tracking in the studio. Since 2010, Andy has been playing some of these songs live near his new home in Vermont at open mics. He relishes the thrill of improvising with an audience, as well as singing three-part harmonies and playing bass with players there. But he also loves building up a song with layers and layers of Andys, singing and playing everything.
