I've been here on the forum for a number of years. I'm comfortable with posting some ideas that are speculative or evidence based - and I've learned a lot by testing those waters. There are so many people here with deep, investigative minds. And it's driven me to find a new direction in where I can feel good everyday spending my energy and focus on (hopefully) things that can help my family, friends, and maybe even the forum.
I've never been comfortable posting my creative work. But here goes. This is an old Sony drum machine syncopated loop with me playing a Casio synth, bass line and a Pentatonic minor box scale over all of it on an amazing guitar I don't have anymore.
Photos are from a trip to NYC years ago I took and cut to the audio. For anyone who listened to AOR 70/80's music this is my tribute to the guitarist from Roxy Music - Phil Manzanera.
The reason I chose the title "Tombstones of the Supernatural City", was a paper I read years ago about how Skyscrapers are a testament to ego of their builders and the Supernatural City dies in shadows of the monuments of the rich (Skyscrapers). Which I think is basically the view of St Petersburg. Agree 100%. But being from the prairies in Canada - the land is expansive, but the cities are imposed on by nature. We grew up with NYC TV and culture from a far away place. So NYC was the "Holy Grail" of culture to get to.
I think the feel of the song is more "proggy" and Urban than the real supernatural/ancient city is. But for me it was all magical at that time to be there. I'm adding a lot of notes about this track, but honestly the photos and the music just came out of me and there was nothing really intended to make a message. I just really love music
Hope you like it.
