Written and Recorded in 1996
After the break-up
of my band called Culotte, in early 1996, I reluctantly decided to go back to
make recording materials by using the rhythm machine. Whilst I continued to
write new materials from scratch, I also reviewed some of my past works to be
renewed for this new recording scheme. As for newly written materials, I decided
not to write any lyrics and leave them in the state of instrumental backing
track. For this reason, these things were only called New Thing with numberings added. This tune was originally numbered as #1, the very first attempt of this
series of things. By that time, I recognised that I am not capable to sing
quite well so that I thought it would be better to leave my new things without
adding my voice parts and hand them to someone capable to finish it, hopefully,
someone who can also write lyrics and melody lines. Despite it didn't go quite
well, with hindsight, I later took to call the entire scheme as The Soft Core
Project.
In publishing
these things in the form of videos, I changed the title from New Thing to
Untitled, with a different numbering system. This thing, Untitled #2, is a candidate
to be treated as one of my masterpieces.
