How to Spend a Weekend

This weekend I managed to record not 1 but 2 tracks! It's been a while since I have plugged in locked myself up for a few hours and recorded anything at all but this weekend I finally did. Most of the instrumental tracks like the 2 new ones are not really structured or written songs. In other words unlike some of the Moonstruck songs which someone started with an idea, a riff or a sequence of chords....most of the tracks I end up recording on my own are not really structured they are just scratch recordings. I simply plug in without a clue about what I am going to do next and start playing around with something, add a few chords, go back and write a drum track and just layer them. What gets recorded in the end is just a reflection of the mood I was in at the time, what I've been listening to lately and what I feel like playing at the time which can range from bluesy to jazzy to straight out in your face distortion laden metal. Mitzas Madness and I Wonder Why the 2 new tracks have been put up in the download section. Check it out!
