Story behind the song
You have to listen closely to hear the special feature of this song. The percussion on this track was a jazz brush set. I'm using a wire brush on a snare, as well as on the ride cymbal. The other instruments: Fretless bass (Fender J-bass). Nord Rack 2X (best synth ever ). Ibanez Artcore hollow body guitar. Yes, this is the one strung with the .015 - .056 gauge strings: http://www.juststrings.com/lab-20ph.html A lot of guitarists hear that and think, 'ouch'. But the action on this instrument is very low, and the fact that they are flatwound makes this a very easy instrument to play -- there is next door to no string noise, and a big, big sound. The meaning of the title: it looks like I'm on an 'ocean' theme, for now. In a way this is an answer to the previous song (Sailing Into Night Time), except seen from the shore. -- This song was composed and performed using natural rhythm only -- without a metronome, click track, or drum machine. "No Robots Allowed" is my theme, and here are the rules I'm following: http://bmccosar.wordpress.com/2010/01/24/the-robot-rules/
