Rakaia River

by Jake Edwards on March 18, 2009

original video version of the Rakaia River Murder song. This version was recorded into a camera whilst living on the floor at a friends house maybe 4 years back?
(I wrote all this song near Rakaia from 2005-2006 and recorded them in 2007).

I`d been out on the road, travelling around, living in a van. Hanging out. It was a metaphysical journey. 6 months re-reading Desolation Angels on the inverse hemisphere.Anyway, I didnt tune up too tight, didnt rehearse at all, placed the lyrics on the floor and hit record on a cheap Canon camera. I separated the audio and the footage later. If I can find it I`ll dig it up and post that too.

As usual I was using a borrowed plank of a guitar, but its better than nothing.  Heres a rough rough compressed MP3 mix of the studio demo thus far, ignore the damn tuning issues:
