There is a side of me that really enjoys goofing around with "avant garde" music. This song was built using a tone-row, which basically means that before you start writing, you arrange all 12 notes available in Western music into a sequence, and then you must use each of the notes in sequence order once before you can repeat a note. I guess the idea is that this way, no one note gets "favored" over another in a composition.
Uh, OK.
It's still fun, and challenging. I wrote all of this down on paper, and then typed it into a program called Finale to play it back. I then superimposed it over a hip-hop beat and called it good. The guitar line was SUPER difficult to play, because it doesn't adhere to any typical scalar patterns we rock dudes typically use and run on auto-pilot.
Another fun fact: THIS is the very first song of mine I ever heard played over the radio.
