Pod 13 was a conscious effort to create a whole band sound again after drifting off into drumless songs for a while. The tune was based around the intricate picking part which was written for a yr 12 student a year ago. The rest of the parts were created around it although the picking part already had an underlying 'circle of 4ths' chord progression which aided the song's creation.
Overall, there's the picking part, a chordal 'funk' part, an improvised solo over the changes and a bass line. The entire song is in 7/8 except for a brief period of 8/8 (it didn't have the 4/4 feel).
I'm very happy with how this piece turned out even if it is a little Crimson-esque and I really enjoyed improvising the bassline over the chord changes in 7/8. It felt amazingly comfortable.
