HUNGARIAN DISASTER IN BRAHAMS


This is just an odd track. 
I recorded it right after I had moved to Austin, Texas. I had just gotten into town, and didn't have any friends, and didn't know anybody yet. I had a lot of time to myself. 
This was like early-mid 90's.

 I took a Hungarian dance by Brahams, and recorded it onto one track on my 4 track cassette recorder. I then imitated all the parts of the orchestra, one by one, using different guitars for different sounds, multi tracking as I went along until I had a mess of tracks.  Then I deleted the original Brahams track that I had played along to, and just left all the guitars that I had recorded. The timing was bad, since it's some really fast picking, so I added a drum machine to try to tighten it up. 
However, I played the drum machine manually, and with even worse meter than my guitar playing, making it all a bit messier. Still, worth a listen, So many guitar tracks…. 

At times it actually sounds like an orchestra.
