All You Can Dream

By Cursory on September 22, 2024 7:54 pm

Happy Week 38! Hope everyone’s doing well. This one came from a guitar idea heavily inspired by style of The Dodos (the file name for this one as a WIP was “Dodos-ish”). Their album “Visiter” is a personal favorite of mine. For some reason I liked the pairing of this faster fingerpicked part with a slower, dreamier “chorus” section. I’m in my Chroma Console era so I had to slap a bunch of weird guitars on this one, including a somewhat indulgent overdriven guitar solo at the end. Also a Mellotron randomly? This one is a bit all over the place but it was fun.

wow, I LOVE this one! The contrast between the faster parts, with the kick on every beat and the laid back sections with the ride cymbal. Vocals are so dreamy and make this a whole fuckin vibe. The lyrics too, so good, so so good.

"Could be a current, could be a breeze"

damn, this is an incredible song! love hearing you stretch out like this.
the tempo slowing into the chorus is such a nice feeling.
and yeah - i would have no idea how to make a click for something like that! i think going click free was the right move. i could picture all the work you put in reading your description, but it really feels so breezy and effortless.
will be coming back to this one for sure

Love this track! The atmosphere and mood is great - everything just flowed.

I feel your pain on Logic’s tempo functions. When it works it’s pure magic. When it doesn’t, it’s a lot of sweating and wondering g why your regions have suddenly decided to change their timing.  Overall I love it, but it can be Pain. The results can be worth it…like this track! Great job.

The dreamy guitar and ethereal folk-indie-rock vocals here are so cool. Great job!!!

Gorgeous track, really really loved the guitars (they don't sound weird to me!). The tempo changes were unexpected and cool! That chorus is super catchy. Nice solo at the end too.

This is fantastic. You created a warm blanket of music that wraps around the listeners soul. I highly praise you.

Splendid song! Warm and uplifting. Vocals and lyrics so good. The solo in end was a treat.

No frustration sensed in this beautiful track.  Loving the Dodos influence with the rhtyhm and drum sound.  I wore out their No Carrier and Beware of the Maniacs albums.  Guitars with your vocals as always sound calming and great.  Excellent solo that builds over the main section too.  Well done!

Thanks for sharing both the album recommendation and this beautiful tune! Those pitch bend lines are a wonderfully emotive touch, and the transitions and tempo changes are handled with total grace.

Thank you! The whole idea of a solo there felt a bit ridiculous at first and took many takes for me to feel okay about it, so your kindness is so appreciated.

Yesss love the Carrier album as well, probably my other most listened one of theirs. All their stuff is so hard to play on guitar though >.> Thanks so much for listening and the kindness.
