Lumber Band, Alex Patin & Antonio Bettini

I’m not sure if any of you know this, but back when I was on high school, and had still had free time, I wrote a lot of music. I listened to all types of music, and even played multiple instruments. I loved metal, and I loved folk. I was amazed by hardcore and punk, but equally appreciated jazz and even bluegrass.

When Antonio and I worked on this particular project together (we had a couple more, previously before this), I was excited and somewhat nervous. Antonio and I started playing together a couple years before the Lumber album came out. We started together at fairly equal skill. As the next couple years went by, his skill exponentially increased, surpassing me greatly.

So as you could see, I wasn’t sure how well me writing with Antonio would go, since he was so much better than me.

What came out of that though were a few of the best songs I’ve ever written. Even though Antonio played lead for every song minus one, I was able to come up with some great rhythm riffs and chords. There are also a few other solo tracks Antonio did on here.

Anyway, if you like experimental music, you should definitely give our albums a listen. Particularly the album I’m on, Songs for Inanimate Objects. It’s also for free if you like. Hopefully you do.

But if you don’t like it, don’t worry. It wasn’t made for you. It was made for inanimate objects.
