Please Don't Tie That Bow (Around My Tree)
I Want (Inside You)
Flashback, Summer of 1991...
Keeping with the theme of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd, here are two songs that I recorded during the Summer of 1991.
Upon taking a break from classes, I was jonesing for some sort of musical satisfaction. The melody to both of these songs popped into my head and I grabbed my portable stereo system right away and recorded both 'Please Don't Tie That Bow (Around My Tree)', and 'I Want (Inside You)' in a matter of minutes. My roommate at the time had his own arsenal of equipment that he used to add effects to his guitar playing. I figured what would it hurt to use this equipment for a brief period and use a delay on my vocals. My purpose here was to sound as close to the classic 60's slap back delay and apply that to my voice. After first listen, I realized this sounded a lot like Syd Barrett during his solo period.
This also paved the way for what was to become Prismatic.
Prismatic was originally a project that me and some friends from school were going to work on in our own time. We didn't know if this was going to be a full fledged band or if it was just going to be a one-shot recording project that we would put out as an independent release. There were three other people who were slated to be involved, they were Hal Strong, Vince Mount, and T. Harris Utain. Out of the three, T. Harris showed up for the original sessions but only recorded one song. I will post this song in a later addition to the Blogline Endeavor.
Needless to say, Prismatic ended up as a solo project.
