All You Can Dream

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.

› Recording Process Notes aka Whining
I spent way too long learning out how to make the click track follow the different tempos in Logic, recorded a bunch of parts, and finally decided the tempo wasn’t right and I’d have to redo it all. I was pretty frustrated by the time spent tinkering with variable tempo/click, so I started over click free with a guitar/vocal track and tried my best to layer things in time. Recording drums felt pretty nonsensical, I did one track of the kick/tambourine which was just hitting quarter notes on the MIDI keyboard for 4 minutes, what an absolute rush. All the accents/fills were pretty difficult to do with any semblance of rhythm, lots of clicking around to fix things. BUT I think I had more fun than frustration by the end and learned some good stuff.Audio works licensed by author under:
