I made this tune as a demo for the Line6 POD for a befriended Italian guitarist. At first I just wanted to record some short jingles with only guitar just to demonstrate the capabilities of the POD. But later I loaded a drum soundset into my EWS64 and also made a drum track, then a solo line and so on. Almost all takes are first takes. The guitar stuff was all composed and recorded in about 2 hours in a moment of highest inspiration. That’s also the reason why this song is called “Too Short Moments” because these moments of inspiration are usually much too short (might also be a reason why the song is only about 2:20).
This is the first song I ever did using computer based harddisk-recording. So don’t expect too much from it. Still, I think it’s not so bad for a first try, although I had heavy sync problems with my TerraTec EWS64XL 🙁 which you can unfortunately hear sometimes. This is also the reason why I’m going to buy a more professional harddisk-recording-card in the near future.
I got the inspiration to this song from watching TV series such as Melrose Place or Beverly Hills. Although it turned out quite heavier and a little different from the intro songs of those series I think it still captures the spirit and has an easy to remember hook line.
