I’ve a great adoration for the music of Blondie, and in more than one way, I think that Debbie Harry is a great inspiration… but I often can’t handle some of those high-energy tunes on Monday morning. Personally, I’ve always thought that Call Me would be fantastic downtempo in an abandoned cathedral at 3am.

So to celebrate the release of my first iPhone app (MuniMe, in the app store now :), I decided to take a little bit of my spare time away from coding and play around with music again, so I spent an afternoon a few weeks ago tinkering around with my keyboard and Garage Band, and this is the result.

The production value might not be exquisite, but since I’ve been a bit of a purist in the past, I wanted a chance to muck around with different effects and explore beat frequency by overlaying an auto-tuned track with the original (e.g., the last chorus).

And no, this song is not a secret message to anyone. There’s no subtext here. None at all. (You’ll know if this message is directed at you. Don’t call me. Really.)
