one of my friends reminded me of Mellotrons* and i wrote this with them in mind! i'm doing a few funky things with this progression: i'm not playing in a odd time signature but i have the chords repeat after 5 measures which makes it feel odd. i have my guitar tuned to CGAGGC in 432hz which is something i think i came up with (very Sonic Youth inspired tuning though). lastly i also have a Mellotron emulator pedal so i used the string section and flute settings in that order here!
let me know which setting serves the song better >.<
*Mellotrons are analog keyboards which means they aren't digital/computerized. to get different sounds they used tapes to record different instruments (ex. flutes, orchestras, choirs, brass instruments, etc.) playing notes and each key you pressed in whatever given setting would play the pre-recorded tapes for those notes!!
a famous use of a real mellotron (not my silly emulator pedal) would be The Beatles' Strawberry Fields Forever where Paul McCartney used the Flute setting
