If I had one word to describe this week it would be. YAY!
If I had to type more words to give you more details I'd say....
jwh contacted me with a song idea that played off the chord progression idea I used for my week 25 track, "Anything to pass the time". The whole I II IV dominant 2nd thing that Elliott Smith loved to use in many of his songs.
We started pretty early in the week sending tracks back and forth. The main rhythm of the song took root from a drum loop on the Yamaha DD5 drum machine. Josh was able to get his good friends Bil (drums) and Doty (backup vox) to contribute with some inspiring tracks. Once Bil sent over his drum track the song really started to take form and direction. The bridge to the chorus was a fun discovery of how songs can change as they're being written. Everything was mixed down and given the final touches by jwh. The funny thing is I had way more energy and inspiration fueling me this week than I normally do with my noodles. It was refraishing feeling like I had this unlimited amount of creativity to unleash. I am super honored and proud of working with Josh, Bil & Doty on this. It felt like I was in a band again back in college Thanks for listening and thank you Josh for including me! Weeeeeee!
