100 Songs in 100 Weeks Update
I am trying to write 100 songs in 100 weeks. My latest, Armed and Dangerous is number 70. The complete collection (with videos) is posted on my YouTube playlist. Only 30 to go!
Armed and Dangerous
Song a Week 2022 – Week 31: I worked on a creating a prog metal sound, constructing the drum, bass and guitar tracks using sample loops. I then overlaid the keyboard, which is mainly pads with the string section in the middle. The words come from a BBC news story about the shadow army of partisans resisting Russian occupation in Kherson, Ukraine but the song is more generally about the futility of military occupation in the face of local resistance.
