My Newest Recording – Does It Matter?
October 8th, 2010 . by Alexander Fisher
Does It Matter is about apathy. But it also about, my perception of, the general lack of inquisitiveness in more people every day. Terrorists attack our cities, and we are told to “Go Shopping”. And we did.
“Does It Matter?”

If I were the sworn enemy of the U.S.A. and wanted to defeat it, I would:
- Destroy the education system by focusing our tax monies on sports and entertainment.
- Close all manufacturing and move it to the third world, thereby eliminating unions.
- Sell dangerous products to the citizens, including fast food.
- Buy up large amounts of U.S. assets and debt.
- Give large amounts of money to the politicians.
- Gain control of the news media and use it to spread fear and distrust.
- etc…
As this goes on around us, we find ourselves surrounded by the corporate elite whose hand in this whole process. Two-thirds of our elected officials have succumbed under the weight of the cash being given to them to not do their jobs. I suspect when the final showdown comes, the communists, who can lose everything and still win, will be victors. Finally the corporatists will fail, but what will be left in their wake?

The analog tracks were originally recorded on a Yamaha MT-100 II 4 track cassette recorder using high speed (3.75 IPS) and dbx noise reduction.
I played electric guitar on a Fender Stratocaster and maybe an Ibanez Les Paul (?). The bass was a Rickenbacker 4001. The drums and cymbals, plus some digital editing, are from the original recording using my Boss Dr. Rhythm drum machine sounds. I was using a Yamaha MIDI drum pad. I only added bass drum through the fills. I digitally processed the instrument and vocal tracks using Cakewalk Sonar 8.5 Producer DAW and Sony Sound Forge 9 audio editor.
