“The Mule” is a song I composed, and this version was recorded live during a recent performance. Initially, I felt something was missing, so Tim Phillips, our engineer, skillfully employed AI to remove some of the original elements from the live show. Subsequently, we enlisted Marco Giovino to contribute a drum track.

Interestingly, Tim (our engineer) stumbled upon this song while reviewing our live recordings. The band had dismissed the song, and I believe we performed it only once before letting it fade away. This showcases the outcome of listening to a group of opinionated musicians or attempting to create through committee.
