A reinterpretation of an excerpt from the interlude in “Orion”

Ok, this isn’t a full song, obviously. At best, it’s barely one part of one part of that song, and yet this little interlude is still my favorite part of Metallica’s “Orion.” Coming in at about a minute and a half, this would not stand up in a court of law as a proper cover, so consider this a collaboration experiment referencing a song.

I played the bass and accordion lines and sent it over to Tom who added drums and a few ambient layers.

I’ve always loved noodling around with this bass line and have heard it with a minimal accordion line. It reminds me a little of the vibe from the theme to Midnight Cowboy.

Yes. This is what I look like now during the pandemic.
