She Killed Him With Her Voodoo

Super cool track, quite filmic.
Fantastic title, fantastic piece. Drone shot swooping low over jungle clad hills, cut to: a desperate young man running, leaping across roofs of a sprawling favella. He looks over his shoulder, being chased by… what? Close up on the face of a beautiful woman in a darkened, fire-lit room. She smiles mysteriously…
Thank you! I really enjoy making music this way. For most of my life I played in 'bands'. I never had full control of the end result. Now I can do whatever I like with any instrumentation that I choose. If it turns out good, I can take a victory lap. If not, I sit alone on the bench of shame. At one time I had a room full of gear. Now I have only this little iPad that I can take with me anywhere I go. Thanks for listening. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
The title was just a working title that I intended to change. This piece came together a little at a time over several weeks. When I decided it was done, I thought the title wasn't too bad, so I kept it. Almost immediately after posting it, after I sobered up, I asked myself... Paulie, you idiot...what have you done? So, thank you for the affirmation of the title.
It came from a line in an old National Lampoon sketch - "I confess, I killed Papa Doc with my voodoo... please don't hit me again!" Your visualization fits perfectly, as I listen to it again. She doesn't actually kill him, it's profoundly worse. I wonder what he did to deserve this fate?
Your tracks are so well balanced and produced. So much to hear but it never feels overcrowded. Everything has a place. I like the driving feel of this one.
@Toastedghost is quite correct. Very filmic.
Hey Mac! Hope things are going well. I really appreciate that comment. I revisited this track yesterday when I was looking for something to post. I thought it sounded too dense, and I took out about 6-8 tracks that were not really adding any value. I still think it's a bit much, but a lot better than it was. Thanks for the confirmation. Take care, mate!
Voodoo? Something profoundly worse than actual death? I think we know what that might be:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Serpent_and_the_Rainbow_(book)
(Not the entertaining but cheesy Wes Craven movie ‘based’ on it.)
“ The book presents the case of Clairvius Narcisse, a man who had been a zombie for two years, as showing that the zombification process was more likely the result of a complex interaction of tetrodotoxin, a powerful hallucinogenic plant called Datura, and cultural forces and beliefs.”
I read that Wiki article, and a few things became a little more clear to me. Especially the 'mental slave' bit. Those ingredients reminded me a little of my ex wife's cooking. In particular, the 'itching pee'. Oh well, she went her way, I went mine. I wish her well. I'm supposed to say that.
I am profoundly happy with my current love. We met online. I told her it was good that she lived close by, since I only had one leg. She replied with a dirty joke... I mean really filthy. I thought, this could be the start of something beautiful, and I was right. She doesn't think I'm too weird, most of the time. Then again, she's pretty far out, too. Birds of a feather.
Sounds absolutely fantastic.
Thank you! Definitely a weird title, but I think it turned out pretty good.
How do crank such marvelous stuff out so quickly and prolifically? Damn!
I actually don't! I usually do a little at a time after I get home from work. I have a bunch of stuff in the pipe at any given time, and I really enjoy the assembly process. I don't mind spending time on a track. To a casual observer, my workflow is about as exciting as watching paint dry, but it gives me some joy when like-minded people like you recognize my efforts. Thank you, bro!
