hinah018 - Half Asleep

"2003. November - December: I stole a friend's MD mic and began recording a few new songs in my bedroom. I played them on my acoustic guitar 'cause the electric one refused to sound clear + lots of problems with my amp (but didn't really matter as I told myself that winter time and 'acoustic stuff' fit together rather well actually). In the living room, I played and recorded the piano. I must say it wasn't that easy because of all those little wooden hammers that felt obliged to make little wooden hammer noises while hitting the strings... whatever... here is the final product. The songs are very slow and quite
long, I know, and I'm sorry if it makes you want to sleep; wasn't my intention. Now I just hope there'll be some brave ones to stay awake... (by the way: can you swim?)"
