5 day songwriting experiment (with results)

edited July 2012 in Artist's Corner
So I took a week vacation from work and decided to make an album. The Idea:

-I had not written a single note/lyric for this project before starting.
-I had to write and record it all in my bedroom.
-I was only allowed to leave the house for food.
-Furthermore, I was only allowed to leave my bedroom (where I recorded it all) for necessities (going to the bathroom, showering was debatable).
-I constrained my time to between 5 pm on Monday July 2nd and 5 pm on Friday July 6th (5 days total), and then take the weekend to mix levels (also on my own in my bedroom, but less 'locked in' at this point)

The result: http://petarmarkovich.bandcamp.com/album/this-sickness

You can listen to it whenever you want online for free. If after listening it, you want to have it, it's a pay-what-you-want download. While I'm thrilled whenever someone puts money towards supporting this pretty experimental approach to songwriting, pay-what-you-want includes ZERO dollars, and if the price is going to get in your way of downloading it, please take it for free - you have my infinite blessings and I just want to share this with as many people as possible.

Thanks PA Folks! Let me know what you think!!

    This is great -- an aural 24 Hour Comics. And you've got some surprisingly listenable music to show for it; way more polished and enjoyable than I was expecting. No real crits here, as I'm not a musician and not even really much of an audiophile but thanks for sharing this. I hope the more music-minded AC regs find this thread soon.

    Super appreciated bud. Glad it comes across as polished. Thanks!

    If you want crits on the lyrics themselves you can try posting them on the writer's block. I don't have much else to say either, quality stuff.
