Playing with Layers
I spent some time this afternoon trying to add layering to a song we’ve been working on. This is not the actual arrangement, just sketching out ideas. Let me know what you think.
What’s in a name…
The song we worked on last night has had at least three names:
- In a Turning World
- Ideation & Intent
- January Lights (the current name)
Now if it only it had some lyrics, vocals, keys and a final arrangement including an outro, we’d be set!
Guitar & Bass Scratch Tracks
Here’s a little video of us recording guitar and bass scratch tracks last week, video taken by my son Ian (the digital sounding beat is a metronome and will not be in the final recording):
Scratch Tracks
We’re really excited, we recorded some guitar and bass scratch tracks last week for Concordance & Compromise. John should be recording his rough drums over these this week.
In other news, let’s hope that our prospective piano/synth/vocals person works out so we can round out the sound and add depth.
Designer/musician
I know that being a designer has made me a better musician when at band practice I hear myself saying, “I propose we do it like this,” and then I proceed to diagram with Kev on a whiteboard.
Second Draft
Same song, thicker mix. More instrumentation, trying out some layering ideas.
