Experimental Pressure

By Napear on December 9, 2024 12:01 am

First off, thanks for all well wishes last week, while I was under the weather.  I'm feeling much better now (I can almost breath without any congestion... so I can hear this week!).  But, being out of commission for most of the week, left me playing quite a bit of catch-up.  So this submission is very much in the "speed trash" category... I started it with 2 hours to spare, and lost 15-20 minutes to random Logic crashes.  I ended up with about 35 minutes to compose and record, and about 40 minutes to mix.  That said it was a pretty fun exercise to work with those time constraints.   There was a lot of "well that has to be good enough because I can't spare anymore time", which was liberating in a way.  It kind of made me one to try one of those 10 minute - 1 hour - 10 hour type challenges... just to understand what kinds of compromises must be made for each length of time, and you know for the very zen like flow state it inspires. 

At any rate, I hope you all are as happy and healthy as can be expected for this time of year.  Cheers all... almost there.

Your "speed trash" always sounds amazing lol. The mix on this is so wide and open its really beautiful. And I feel you on the crashes - I know I'm getting old cuz my patience for crashes is basically non existent. Glad you're feeling better and still composing beautiful things heart

you 100% rose to the challenge! and i've very glad to hear you're feeling better.

one of the big things i've noticed from doing this weekly practice is the ability to work QUICKLY. this is a prime example. that you can turn around something so delicate and textured and intricate in under 2 hours....
splendid work, my friend
