day sixteen 三番週の十六番日

a little guitar line, that seems to say something like the end of summer, or end of something dear...
i'd like to expand on this one quite a bit... probably going to ruin it by making it too heavy.

4/4 84

day four 一番週の四番日

... and here is "一番キスとコーヒー", (First Kiss and Coffee).

i was going to call it タル　ラッテ, (tall latte) off the sample at the end, but i like this more. i referred to it earlier here and here as "小さいうた" (small song).

John Ngo was kind enough to play drums for me on this one.

We had a line in our japanese skit "でも、レテュムがないんです。" (But he doesn't have any rhythm.) Every time that line came up, i thought of the face Gaelan makes when i try to play drums.


man, i just want to have an army of people playing that toy glockenspiel. think of the album artwork! "The Glockenspiel Army".
