This is an old instrumental I wrote and recorded a very long time ago now. It dates to maybe ten years ago — I recovered it off analog tape. The recording has some blips and clicks in it, sounds like I bumped into the mic at one point, and I think you can hear the fish tank burbling in the background and possibly even a child or two.

You’re supposed to listen to this imagining big ol’ lumbering cartoon elephants stomping through the jungle, even getting excited and partying at one point.

Then there’s a mouse.

Weird guitar tunings for $100: this is in DADGAD, then I capoed at the 10th fret only on the top four strings. The mouse is played on the strings below the capo.

  1. I like the natural atmosphere, and with the mention of lumbering elephants, I can see why the melody gets a bit crazy for about a minute. I was perfectly satisfied with the soft melody though. But you know the music I play…

  2. I like it, I like it. Reminded me to finally buy your After the Flood album, which I just did. Spend the money on a trip to the zoo and take some snaps of the elephants! 🙂
