Surfin'

Written and Recorded in 1995

This tune was all about mixing a couple of different musical ideas popped up in my head separately. I made this demo recording simply because I wanted to know how it would sound if these twos are played together - the brief piano motif in the intro and main chord progression with the riff that follows the intro. Since the impression of the first half, which is played faster and lighter, reminded me of some Surf Rock stuff, I coined the title. Nevertheless, the core element of this composition rather lies in the second half, where the experiment of 'playing together the twos' occurs with a bit slower and heavier playing style, which could be described as Garage Psychedelic :D

The pictures used in this video have nothing to do with the composition, except me, the composer, is captured enjoying surfin' nearly a couple of decades later from the writing of the tune.
