The assignment was to take a text from one of our books and create a song with it. We chose Robert Frost's poem and came up with this pseudo-jazzy tune. I always liked it, so I kept the "digital chord sheet" around and played it from time to time. More than 15 years later, here now is a brand new recorded version -- complete with brushed drums and falsetto background vocals. This track, as recorded, is more or less piano-driven (programmed), along with long notes from some kind of organ-like virtual thing. As a final touch I played in some transitions on electric guitar, and rhythmically shook a sari with probably a hundred tiny medallions on it.

Warning: This song is experimental and highly flammable. I had a Gameboy camera and free time, a few minutes of dicking around with it produced this song. Because of the limitations, I was only able to manipulate one thing at a time squinting into a tiny monochrome screen. Therefore, I approached this song as a feasibility study, to see if it could be done. Also, it's my first song, so be gentle, yo tag:odeo.com,2009-01-13,23872302 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 12:46:30 -0800 no MetaFilter 120bpm, crap, chiptune, GameBoyCamera http://www.odeo.com/episodes/23870418-There-Will-Be-Love-by-azarbayejani A happy, melodic love song.
