The Sunday Song: Midsummer

I finally got my recording setup sorted out. It was the stupid webcam. The control panels all said that my soundcard was selected as the input, but guess what — when I unplugged it, the issues went away.
Anyway, I wrote a weird little instrumental thing this morning, which didn’t really go anywhere. But I kept noodling with it first on the acoustic, then on the electric when my fingers got sore. Then I went back to the acoustic and started to build this up in layers. I called it “Midsummer” because I didn’t have any clever ideas for a title.
This is played in standard tuning with a partial capo at strings 3-4-5 on the second fret. There’s two acoustics and two electrics on there.

Too Loud!
No, seriously, I was really liking it until you went Beatle India at about the 2:30 mark. Until then I was thinking a little horn, a little violin, and a lotta Parmesan, and BAM!
You need a copy of the Inner Hippie series from Vinyl Pirates (We Only steal from our inner selves!). Vol IV – Hippies With Horses would be the right one for inspiration before recording these noodles. It sounds like you may already have Vol II – Smokin’ Hippies.
Do you have a ‘process’ for composing?
