The Catcher in the Rye OST

download | hi res cover

  • Released January 16, 2008.
  • Debut album.
  • Recorded for an English project. The task was to make an appropriate soundtrack for the book, so we decided to write all our own music.
  • All songs are original, except for La Bamba (trad.), Enter Stradlater (parody of Enter Sandman by Metallica), and Straight Outta Pencey (parody of Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A.).
  • Everything was recorded live, through one microphone positioned in the center of the room. Only vocals were added separately. Basically, you could say this is two-track recording, so it sounds pretty rough.

  1. Enter Stradlater
  2. Straight Outta Pencey
  3. Where Do Those Things Go?*
  4. La Bamba (Jane Gallegher)
  5. Allie
  6. The Lavender Room
  7. Stabbed By A Pimp
  8. Sally*
  9. Museum of Natural History*
  10. Sneaking Back Home
  11. Carousel**
  12. La Bamba (Extended Bonus Track Version)

Green Light Project

download | hi res cover

  • Released March 11, 2008.
  • All original material.
  • Again recorded for an English project, this time related to The Great Gatsby. The green light on the end of Daisy's dock was a symbol of Gatsby's hopes and dreams. Our task was to describe what our own green lights represent. Only two of us took it seriously.
  • The recording is a little better than on Catcher. Many instruments were still recorded simultaneously, but most tracks have bass and vocals mixed separately.

  1. Engineer
  2. Astronaut To Earth
  3. Sonic Absorption
  4. Flying Ace
  5. Jedi In Jeans

Death Metal of a Salesman

download | hi res cover

  • Released June 11, 2008.
  • Third installment in the English class project series.
  • To illustrate Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, we attempted to present the themes of the play through sound. Forgoing lyrics, we sampled audio from the movie adaptation, read aloud from the play, and composed an instrumental track.
  • For the first time, all instruments were recorded and mixed separately, resulting in superior sound quality compared to the first two releases.

  1. Death Metal of a Salesman
  2. You're Just What I Need
  3. A Perfect Proposal
  4. I Know Who I Am
