Dave's Random Song From the Catalogue Offering #5: In the Dust of this Planet

Dave's Random Song From the Catalogue Offering #5: In the Dust of this Planet

I have all my songs listed in a spreadsheet which I randomize. Today's shuffle brought up a song which I created over 9 years ago called In the Dust of this Planet

I first came across the phrase “In the Dust of This Planet” while listening to a Radiolab podcast episode which you can check out HERE. I liked and still like how it roles in a most ominous way off the tongue. Sadly, it is true too if we humans ever actually take our heads out of our collective ass. However, my intent here is not to be a downer so I will move on. 

This phrase attraction and an audio clip of geese flying overhead eventually coalesced into a full song. I would produce this song especially the drums very differently today. The transitions are rough. I learned much during this particular song development process. I recall it took quite a bit of time to make but I loved every minute of it, boils and all. 

This song can be found on the album of the same name which I released on 1 DEC 2015. It was my second album. Production learning curve….. steep. 

Thank You

Dave
