about

Gingerbread Man (March On)

GbMan is my everything but the kitchen sink song on this EP. It will probably be better to go section by section on this one. . .

Verse

Rhythm is provided by cabasa and rattle sounds outlining the 15-8 time signature. The upright bass is mosaic and number change like on Cruel Messiah. The sound beds are from an image-to-sound program ran through trance gates. The rubbed wine glasses were played by me throughout the track. Vocals include some pseudo-throat singing and melisma that was originally to be run through an autotune to create a robot effect, but that did not work out so I added a ringing delay.

Bridge

The drums are a MoCon programmed pattern driving Hahaha's DS-01 through effects. The rattles continue from the verse.

Chorus

Drums are as the bridge. They are joined by a xylophone. The melodica is played through a trance gate. Also featured is the Green Box guitar plinking away in the background.

Antiverse/Antibridge

Rubbed Glasses like the verses. The drums are my “custom drummer” toy keyboard run through an RS stompbox effect. The Bontempi drum toy adds a “falling down stairs” sound. The bubbly/popping sound is my Casio SA-21. Careful listening will reveal the sound of me humming and whistling simultaneously (not overdubbed) into a gate/delay.

lyrics

Gingerbread Man (March On)
by (H+) M.S.G.

Verse-

Master you are dieing
March on, March on
The stars are burning out
You are fading out with the sun
March on, march on

Bridge-

Chorus-

Easy thrills in a chase
A sweet and bitter space
And what little left behind
Has long since been taken away

Verse-

Antibridge/Antiverse-

Chorus-

It feels like a lifetime
Since we kept everything we made
They burned down the gates
And everything has to change

Bridge-

Verse-

Bridge-

Chorus-

Master you are dieing
March on, March on
The stars are burning out
You have surpassed them
March on, March on
When a quiet man shouts
This world shall end
Long for a yesterday that never even happened
The stars burn out tomorrow
March on, March on
