Music By Benway
This is the fifth in a series of videos documenting my musical progression from utterly rubbish, to somewhere around almost half decent.
The video is simply a visualisation on Winamp, for which I claim no artistic credit. It's simply something to look at while listening to the music.
Going by the band name "Overjoy", this was recorded in 1989 using a Tascam Porta 01 4-track portastudio. All of the instruments were played by myself, except for the drums, which were a Yamaha DD10.
This is another tune I'd hoped to do more with, with a band, but again, that never happened. It was inspired by the later tracks on the album Closer, by Joy Division. In that sense, I guess it's quite generic, but I do like the atmosphere, if you'll forgive the pun. Along with most of the other tunes in this series, this sounds better on headphones, as a lot of the subtleties and layers are lost through speakers.
