Notes
My resolution for 2007 was to get my Trex site up and running. I wanted to start the year off with a clear gesture of working towards that goal. First I played a couple of songs on guitar, to finish the previous Trex tape. After that, I jogged to a store, bought tapes, and the headed to a piano practice room at the nearby college and banged out these tunes.
The last few songs are from a couple months later, and are all featuring guitar. They're very sloppy and rough, but with occasional catchy bits. This is pretty much par for 2007, so be prepared for lots more like this.
The tape was cheap and 120 minutes long, so there's occasional warbling. Sorry. You'll hear a lot worse noises than warbling during the 2007 tapes. So tighten your seatbelts and grab your vomit bags... The 2007 Trex plane is taking off!

Total improv. It's very rough, with sloppy timing galore. It edited it heavily, but it's still pretty awful in my book. So awful that I wish it were in someone else's book.
Lyrics to "Rusty Wondering":
oh man that was horrible if you think that was bad this next one there's no promise that it will be any better 'cause i'm just making this stuff up as if you couldn't tell can you smell the rust under my fingernails can you smell the rust under my fingernails can you feel the rust under my synapses can you smell the rust under my synapses gotta rusty rusty eardrum gotta rusty rusty but i continue to eardrum case in point gotta rusty rusty eardrum but that does not stopping me from drumming drumming in case you're wondering i haven't played piano in about a month in case you're wondering it's been so long since i've touched this thing that i do not know what to do with it in case you're wondering i haven't given trex much thought in case you're wondering i don't know what i'm doing right now there's nothing here travis; i mean i'll-- it's 3:30; i'm not going anywhere first day of the year has me feeling like i'm not going anywhere

The secret to my song crafting.
Lyrics to "Boing":
gotta slow down with the left hand the right hand's not too bad but with the keyboard you never really have to play with the left hand you never really have to leave the right hand you can always just do boing boing boing boing boing and then transpose every once in a while to and then that gets really bad and then you copy a million times and call that a song

This attempt at making something melodic ends up sound cheesy. Don't they all? This one has a decent melody at least. Unfortunately, the tape warble r eally sucks the life out of this song at points.
Lyrics to "Persistent Enough":

This was a very long, choppy, and sloppy endurance test. I whittled it down to the most stomachable couple of minutes.
It we call it "trance", does that excuse the lack of melody? If we call it "Trex", does that excuse the lack of polish?

I was making fun of my playing and the cheap tape. The music is repetitive and dull. The singing is horrid.
After a couple minutes it gets more interesting. Unfortunately, I got a stupid phrase stuck in my head. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Lyrics to "In the Buff":
wasting an hour on a bad tape playing isn't much better than the quality of the tape maxell ur position iec type 1 normal very crappy maxell ur cheap 3 bucks well more like 4 for this bad tape i paid about $4 actually for 2 tapes about 120 minutes on each i say about because usually tapes give you more than advertised about so if you get a 90 minute tape you usually get about 95 or 91 ??? w s u c k travis isn't for everybody travis isn't for everyone trex isn't always excited trex is almost never fun trex is not for everybody trex is not for everyone trex is rarely entertaining and never never never never never fun trex is never never never never never fun trex is never never never never never fun it is never easy to make them it's not easy to listen to this horrible ??? see i can't even sustain a cool groove for much than i can't even sustain proper grammar for than uh trex is not for everybody trex is not for everyone trex is rarely enlightening and trex is never ever fun trex is hard to create trex is hard to digest trex is not on a web page it deserves a lot kess but i got lots of cds of trex lots and lots of cds of trex and the ??? is on those cds of trex those that say that tripecac is better than this musically it's the same; i'm creating both haphazardly the difference is the editing with tripecac i can fix my mistakes trex is all about spontaneity it's a live take everything is a live take it's a live take full of mistakes it's a live take full of mistakes it's a live take full of mistakes trex is about mistakes happy mistakes trex benefits from mistakes tripecac is more calculating but not much actually the difference is all in the thing that i call the editing trex will not get polished it will always be a little rough so my ideas are kinda catchy it's like a dude in the buff if you're into dudes i'm not really into dudes i'm actually i actually detest the idea of dudes in the buff what am i saying that was a mistake, wasn't it to say anything about dudes in the buff i mean, come on what a horrible image to put inside my head and your heads yuck, forget about the dudes in the buff yuck, forget about those dudes in the buff yuck, forget about the dudes in the buff that's enough travis, i've said enough trex is never gonna be polished it's always gonna be a little rough trex is always gonna be ugly just like the dudes in the buff trex is never gonna be really polished it's always gonna be a little rough trex is a little horrendous just like the thought of dudes in the buff gross, throw up about dudes in the buff yuck yuck yuck i hate the dudes in the buff who gave that image the dudes in the buff that's nasty, it's really really rough what is trex you might be wondering how do you spell it t r e x is what i do but you don't have to copy that it stands for travis' experimentals and travis' exercises it also stands for the treks i take every once in a while in the car, i sneak into the piano practice room when ??? i travelling like i'm doing right now i'm not actually travelling just running a bunch of errands but i slipped into the pracice room at western i told you this was gonna be rough i told you this was gonna be really rough that's what trex is it's not diamonds in the rough it's lumps of coal in rough like dudes in the buff you're never gonna get dude in the buff appealing to me i'm sorry you're never gonna entice me with dudes in the buff yuck, that makes me want to throw up get away with your ideas of naked dudes, that's just disgusting who came up with that anyway? i don't know i think is just rhymed with something i was doing i wish i could just get rid of that see i'm losing the rhythm a bit i'll get it back here we go [scat] today i did a lot of errands i bought some gloves and some bowls also some pencils the kind that you don't have to sharpen but they're called mechanical pencils i don't know why i had trouble remembering that oh well and after i bought that stuff i came to the college went down in the piano practice room and got out the tape recorder made a racket in one of the empty practice rooms most of the students are home on break it's nice having a little room to groove

This is basically a bunch of fast, meandering arpeggios. I think I was kinda inspired by Philip Glass. Of course, this is much slopping and boring-er.
After a couple minutes, it gets more rhythmic (and cheesy). There's a decent solo, which becomes an attempt at a repeating melody. It's okay, if you're into new-agey piano snoozefests.
There's a slight mystery here: how did I hit that low note? I only have 2 hands, and not much speed.
A bad dose of tape warble ruins some of the tranciness.
Lyrics to "Glassnore":
ok i've only got about 5 minutes left thank god

This epic, sloppy jam is built on a very predictable chord progression. The interesting part is the lyrics, which are mostly about what I was doing at work that day. The term "slog" means "song blog".
Lyrics to "Slog":

Another long improv. Some parts are kinda catchy, but as a whole, the thing is too rambly and messy to be worth editing. So you're getting it in its raw form, which will probably be the trend for most of the songs from 2007.
