Artist Statement:
This project was somewhat simplistic in terms of the work put into it, but there is nonetheless a story behind it. First, I landed on Highway To Hell as a song I wanted to cover. My dad had played it for me when I was little, and we’d listen to it every time we were upstate in our old, beat-up truck. The song always stuck out to me as a song I’d like to play someday. Even with my limited knowledge of manipulating tracks and recording, I made the drum track by using my extensive familiarity with the song to do it by ear. Then, I found an audio of Highway To Hell without a drum track and put my drum track onto it in GarageBand. It was difficult to align them perfectly, and I don’t quite think I got it, as the drum track sometimes sounds misaligned by a millisecond. However, the rest of the time, including during the chorus, it is aligned just right. Please forgive the misaligned parts of the song. I don’t claim to be an accomplished drummer, or even a competent track mixer, but I did my best and for what it’s worth, I am proud of my efforts.
