Song History
At the end of 2004, I had a bit of time to reflect on things and how the Hair Thieves was going,
the upshot being I needed to clear out a few bits of equipment and streamline my recording process.
All was going well, a few bits of kit sold, but then I missed some of them, so went out and bought a shed load
more eqipment. Doh!
In March 2005 the BBC News website ran a story about the UK's only Space Impact crater, the so-called Silverpit structure which
is situated several hundred metres under the North Sea floor, about 80 miles east of the Yorkshire coast. (The above image is

I liked the title and the story so jotted it down for future reference.
On the 4th June 2005, (whilst slightly hungover), I set up my equipment, set some effects up and pressed record. I then recorded
about 6 different variations on a theme, using the effects. Some I discarded due to mistakes, others due to
sounding quite bad as I stomped on various effect boxes. I finally settled on a set of effects and rough song structure and hit record.
This became Silvepit. It is one take, with no overdubs. It is a bit ropey in places, but I like the percussive effect of the filter effect
(which I set up as a preset ages ago and have no clue how to recreate it, as is the delay settings). I like the way the high end distorts in a not nice digital way.
So enjoy.
