Untitled #2

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.
