Finally took one of my Electroplankton compositons into Garageband, so I could add Drums and play with effects a bit.

Wanted to do more, but taking the niblings out and I'm pretty sure the power will be out by the time I get back. But next time I wanna give myself a little more time to play with the bass. I did spend a fair bit of time cutting and arranging the composition.

I'm sitting here already worried that the internet is out.... *sweating* -- it's been going off and on all weekend. Okay it worked, but no time listen to check it. 

Done with Hanebow, Audicity and Garageband.

Reading Journey to the West: Monkey, Sun Wu Kong, is born from a stone.  This makes him special, with a certain amount of power and privilege.  But he still has to struggle and suffer, in part because he rebels against everything that challenges his power.

Picked up last week's instrumental, and recorded a vocal track. And a shaker!

The song is based off the idea of "Revenge Bedtime Procrastination"

The Internet wrote:

Revenge bedtime procrastination is the act of intentionally sacrificing sleep to enjoy personal downtime because you feel you lack control over your schedule during the day. It’s a common coping mechanism where you "retaliate" against a busy, demanding day by staying up late to scroll, stream, or relax

I had intended to try and use the shaker to mask the sound of the metronome I accidentally recorded along with the acoustic guitar part, but it didn't work. I had recently bought some FabFilter plugins, and wow - that made it easier! There's an "analyze" feature, where you can just hover over the spectrum, and it will build up the peaks and label them. I took the metronome wave files, and made like 5 notch filters to drown it out as best as possible and saved it as a preset to put over the guitar part. In the mix, I think it works really well!

Since I already recorded the shaker (in mono), I did a neat thing where I ran it through an Elysia karacter and processed the left/right a bit differently, and it gave it some cool stereo width. I almost did the same with the guitar part, but I had a rare "less is more" moment.

Also, my singing is especially atrocious this week. I didn't think it was possible to be so out of key, but by golly, I did it. It was so bad, I bought Melodyne to make it better the next day. And, It's still not great.

What if longing was never the problem?

What if getting everything too soon is?

Some doors become more meaningful the longer they make us wait.

The wait is powerful.
