remember

I have been watching this YouTube show called solid air, where this person invites famous musicians and artists into his house and they just listen to records together and do a little interview. It’s been really affirming to hear these peoples music tastes and creative processes and remembering these specific artists that I really love that he has interviewed and hearing their processes helped me be inspired to make something a little different this week.
I sort of took from multiple people and did my own spin but I started out with a pad like piano and made some chords all live and in one take with a refrain and an octave drop before returning again to the main melody.
I verbed the hell out of it and filtered it with some resonance to highlight certain parts of the middle register.
Then I played around with a glockenspiel preset to highlight the chords.
Added flute trills.
Added pads to the refrain.
And finally added shaker, bass, and percussion towards the end.
the final thing I added was a ride in this weird dotted time because I really wanted the groove of this track to feel different but still consistent and along the lines of it’s sweet kinda nourishing vibe.
All and all it’s been a good experience to remember and play with what making music means to me and all the different ways to approach it.
Hope you’re having a great week ![]()
