SychoPoetic from Sonic Schizophrenia by Daryl Smetana

The more I worked with audio samples, the more I began to realize that like everything else in nature It has a melodic-nature, meter and rhythm! I experimented with a sequence of samples that would create GROOVE & RHYTHM of itself. After countless tries, I found ONE that worked! THAT would be the BASIS of this song, after alluding to it. Audio samples used in ACID helped me flesh out the rest! The change-up of instruments & sounds at the same pace is of special note, before folding back to the BASIS GROOVE!

I always played music since 3rd grade. I couldn’t read music, once, was asked to play a new piece & walked out! I asked for a guitar! I learned Mal Bay book & learned songs. I began writing songs to sooth my emotions. Friend John Courter played “Back Porch Bluegrass” & asked for a banjo! Found it in parent's closet, & learned! Recorded in my studio compositions before I was diagnosed with ALS.
