Consciousness: Experimental or Acoustic. The debate.

Here are a couple tracks:

I got inspiration for consciousness when I was living in an apartment between something like 4 churches. I had heard an example of tuvan-throat singing a few weeks earlier and tried to put the two together. And no, it's not a very romanticized piece, and there isn't a IV - I amen in the piece, i swear. It ended up lying along the line of minimalist repetition and gnarly grit. Here is the original tune, "Consciousness (feat. Andrew Hallberg)" [2009]

On the Album, I'm doing an acoustic rendition and it ended up being a little more along these lines:
