new song, new recording techniques

I sat down to clean my wheelset the other day and got to thinking about what I could do for my next bike related recording project. After some experimentation, I came up with the following. All the sounds are made from things wheel related (plucked spokes for the melody, stretched out tube for the bass sound, frame pump for a variety of sounds, U-Lock just for fun), though I did cheat and use guitar sparingly. All the sounds were captured using either a contact pickup or small diaphragm condenser mic. Hours of editing and mixing later, here's "Freewheel"
