NOTICE TO REGULAR VISITORS
Hard times seemed to have passed. For the time being. The culmination of one’s wars with tyranny and the unjust, is the sweetest of the eyes of storms? Or just plain turnaround.. However, a list of tracks is now provided at the bottom of this section with a total play count and date of extraction. If there is a particular track you’d like reinserted, don’t hesitate to send a comment or message. Now read about how I thought up this shizl.
The idea of Chameleon sprung about awhile back. Can’t say exactly but I would place it around late April 2006. Although now that I think about it, I came up with it in ’96 but hadn’t named it and was nowhere near close to producing it. Besides the point. The ’idea’ is, I like alot of different kinds of music from jazz to death metal to classical, and I wanted to give birth to something along the lines of everything I’ve encountered musically. A ’musical death’ so to speak. I’m on my way now. Now the most fuct up part about it, for me, is I can’t keep a band together to save my life. So again I wanted to create something completely of me and me only, for the most part. Chameleon solo is the result of internet handle availability. I will find the other Chameleon’s and imitate their skin color... not really.
As of now there are ten tracks of metal tunes all original drums, layered guitars, and vocals. Getting a better feel of the mixdown and mastering portion of recording. Most of these are within the first three takes especially the drums where I mostly just played those right out of my head and built off of that. The lyrics were written to the music in most cases, but some are retakes of older stuff that never met ears. I like doing this type of stuff and when I get really into it I am confident I have alot weird rhythms to offer. I suck at lead. I think anyway. Others tend to coax me on so I just pull a Eddie and play what comes out most times. Hahaha. It sucks though.
There are seven tracks of, what I call, "Austin Folk". [7 TRUST IN DEPTH WON’T FIT ON THE PLAYER]Which is just acoustic and vocals thus far. Both layered of course... perhaps too much once or twice... come on its FUN! Hahaha. These are originals as well and tend to be extremely personal in nature as far as lyrics go. But I try not to stay on the one subject and write of abstract thoughts and dreams alot. On one of these, I had a very close friend of ours come up with the lyrics poolside on a sunny day, and I just put music to what I read. Which incedently, I had an awesome ballad I couldn’t figure out what to do with and ohh.. whats this? GREAT STUFF MOTHERFUCKER! Thank you B.J. Also, as time progresses, I find myself dragging other evil souls into my life’s work. As a direct result, Austin Howard guest spots in several tracks playing bass guitar. (Rotting In My Shed, Spit Shit, detlusnI) FUCKING BRUTAL! Another black soul, Doug Hering, guest vocals on a track (Spit Shit) that I wrote specifically for his particular GUTTURAL stylings. Also duets on (Decomposing) and (detlusnI).
There are also covers of course. But I cannot give those out sorry about that. not really. And back on the idea of the Chameleon, I intend to create within multiple genres, using multiple and sometimes unique instruments. Alt. rock (grunge), Blues, funk, you know, have fun with it. Eventually, I will build up enough where I will halt creation and commence perfection and master recording. At which point all selected tracks will be revamped and of better performance quality. Hahaha. They may come out a little different but thats the jazz about it. Performances will also be different, whenever that happens. Meaning, DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH waiting for a show. Its only me dude! Nobody else ever sticks around! But they do happen by from time to time. And I can’t stop creating! Everything inspires some new emotion or mixture of the sorts. And out comes another one. But anyway.
CD 1 is in the making. National radio play is eminent. I hope I know what i’m doing... Hahaha. I’d like to think that of all careers, this one, is absolutely mine. Whether it pays monetarily or not remains to be seen. However, the cathartic and astrophysical release of it is more than real. It is by far the only ’natural’ ability that uncontrollably spews from my body. I fear I may one day lose my mind to the ever playing score in my brain. Lest I be allowed the time to capture every moment of it. The CD is entitled "Showcase". Look out for it, I’ll let you know when it drops.
Thank you for reading. Feel free to look around. I guess. If none of this makes sense I understand. I think, oddly enough, I have a problem expressing myself. Hahahaha. I hope its as fun for you is was for me, what can I say. Hahahaha...... BTW do you know the difference between a Pentagram and a Pentacle? If not, educate yourself before you mistake an enemy for a friend. Or the ladder. Aren’t YOU tired of being shit on? Blessed be the word of a fool, for the truth is only admitted in his plea to live.
