Jung's Advice for Later Life

By Pescadito on February 22, 2026 9:57 pm

I had a lot of fun making this! I tried a different approach this time, kinda low effort on the recording side: I have just used my iPhone or my MacBook microphones to record different elements.

It all started from a drum beat I played on live drums (just for fun) and recorded with only my phone to check the practice. Out of convenience (and curiosity of the outcome) I placed my phone right on the floor tom pointing at the snare. That's what makes the kick boom... I then tried to make the drums sound bigger by separating the elements with EQ and different effects.

I then tried to make the whole thing without even connecting my interface. I played all the parts on the laptop keyboard and recorded the shaker and the clap with the Mac internal mic. Synth bass, strings, organ, electric piano.

As I was enjoying the groove, I remembered of a video I watched of Carl Jung being interviewed in 1959.

So I thought it would be cool to make a piece with some of his reflections.

I tried to make a quick mastering but it was late, so I think I screwed it up a bit and you can hear some clipping here and there... sorry for that!

Enjoy it!

thanks my friend. I first made a first version where the drop was not so intense and the lyrics were from another section of the interview. then I decided to add the violins and cello to create tension along with the heavy topic of the interview. glad to hear you liked it!
