An interpretation of the SSB in the spirit of Hendrix. If I was actually a guitarist it might have turned out decent...

Hey there. If you've stumbled upon my humble page out of curiosity, good luck to you. If you're returning to check up on my new songs, you've made my day and have a wonderful visit. I muck around with all kinds of music, but my works are often influenced by video game soundtracks and thus have quite a particular feel to them. That means it can be of any instrumentation and style, and is usually written with a certain theme in mind. This kind of writing is very flexible and universal, plus I like video games, so it works. I use mostly synthesized sounds in my music, but I'm working on doing more with live performing and real sound effects. If you want to check out my earliest works, visit www.soundclick.com/lordskyearchive. Be aware, of course, that they're mostly awful.

Story behind the song
Jimi Hendrix, in his Woodstock performance of the Star Spangled Banner, delivered a mad combination of guitar growls, feedback, phasing and various other psychedelic effects resembling gunfire or bombs (including a short rendition of the military theme Taps) which had very little music in it at all, and the crowd didn't even know it had ended until Jimi started playing Purple Haze. When I first heard it, I was quite ambivalent... I thought "Is this guy on drugs?" which indeed he was, but also "Man, those sounds are really cool." So I tried to make this in the same style, with lots of odd sounds and dissonance, and I like listening to it even though my recorder kept messing up.
