+ <h1>Tracks</h1>
+ <h2>Assorted Tracks</h2>
+ <p>Sometimes web playback doesn&#39;t work in apps so I don&#39;t really
+ have a good place to show my music to people… so this is it!</p>
+ <p>These are all just scratch recordings I made for myself. Some tracks
+ are accompanied with text. Others are not. They&#39;re all instrumental
+ and most are also mostly improvised.</p>

+ <pre>
+ I step into the ocean.
+ An unending blue, a scene serene.
+ I hear nothing but the waves.
+
+ I walk in deeper.
+ The cold water tickles my chest.
+ I put my head beneath the water.
+ I scream.
+
+ I stand back up.
+ Water runs down my face.
+ I can&#39;t tell which are tears.
+
+ The world looks the same outside.
+ Everyone standing, playing, happy.
+ The pain is still here.
+ And I struggle what to do.

+ Track Details
+ </summary>
+ <p>This track was a lot of fun. I was still early days at the drum
+ machine so its got very little variation in velocity and stock
+ samples… but I think it adds enough color to the track. The panning
+ tremolo effect was added in the DAW but the rest is all recorded
+ from my DigiTakt (drums), Alesis Micron (pads), Behringer Model D
+ (bassline), and my Fender Stratocaster (guitar). When recording the
+ guitar I put my vocal microphone up to the strings to capture the
+ raw sound as well which I mixed in along side the clean guitar. It
+ gave it this twang that it was missing. I also used some EQs all
+ around in my DAW to help things sit better.</p>

+ <h2>Collab Tracks</h2>
+ <p>I participate in a Discord group from <a href=
+ "https://www.patreon.com/jayhosking"
+ rel="external noopener noreferrer"
+ target="_blank">Jay Hosking&#39;s Patreon</a>. <a href=
+ "https://www.youtube.com/c/jayhosking"
+ rel="external noopener noreferrer"
+ target="_blank">His YouTube channel</a> is great and he makes a lot of
+ hardware and some in the box synth music! Please check it out! About
+ twice a year or so he runs a collaboration community event and we all
+ make tracks and then he streams them and collects them into a Bandcamp
+ release. Each of the tracks in this section will defer their copyright
+ to whatever is stated on bandcamp. Every release was for charity.</p>
+ <p>I seriously recommend listening to the rest of the tracks on the
+ album! They&#39;re always so fun! So many talented musicians contribute
+ and collaborate!</p>

+ <p>This was a really fun one. I stumbled into this idea. Basically
+ a Maggot Brain style fuzz guitar solo with the samples providing
+ basically the backing track. It was a lot of fun. Fully
+ improvised.</p>

+ <p>There isn&#39;t much to add with this one. I recorded the pads
+ using the <a rel="external noreferrer noopener"
+ target="_blank"
+ href="https://conductivelabs.com/ndlr/">Conductive Labs
+ NDLR</a>. Which formed some just amazing chords. I used some
+ samples from my collab partner in the opening and end and as a
+ base for the entire track ­ it&#39;s mostly just like noise and
+ things like that. It&#39;s subtle in the final mix.</p>
