DJ Spoof - Close Your Eyes

Instruments Used: Roland Synthesizer

I was about 12 years old when I wrote this. This was one of my first creations when I figured out a way to use my limited resources to create music. I remember being partially done with it before we went on a camping trip and the whole car drive there I was playing GameBoy and listening to what I had come up with thinking I was the coolest kid ever for having done this. I really had no idea what I was doing but I was determined to figure it out. Believe it or not, I recorded this on Windows 95 with nothing else but the built-in program “Sound Recorder.” I figured out a way to record and layer loops with it, but it wasn’t visual at all.. so I had to picture the whole song structure in my mind. If I messed up, I would have to start over.
