Featured Track: Reason with Me

Reason with Me is an original composition of mine - you can hear at it: http://www.reverbnation.com/#/mattmylroie

Most of my songs have a good story behind them, and many of them have spent years in the process of writing, recording, and producing. This song doesn't fit that mold at all - its just a unique, experimental moment captured on tape one short afternoon while living in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I was working in my studio and experimenting with sounds and methods outside of my "normal" process. I assembled a drum kit from carefully selected samples. Once I had done that, I tracked the rest of the song within a period of about 15 minutes. Obviously, I did some heavy processing of some of the sounds, but even so, this arrangement was completely put together in one short afternoon.

I never intended for this to be a finished track, but there is something about this little piece that I really like, in spite of its shortcomings. I've been told many times that I should develop this into a full length song, but I feel that this captured my mood well that day, and in spite of it's obvious flaws, I intend to keep it as is. The finished track will possibly serve as an instrumental lead-in to another track on my album.
