This is another song requested by someone and it's technically not finished yet, because he at some point might do the vocals for it

He's just very busy right now

Let's hope this will actually happen at some point, but in the meantime it's just kinda this chill instrumental

The assignment this time was "the 90's 80's similar to The Midnight", so this is kind of that, the bass, the stacked synth chords, and even the sax

even put in the effort of some actual mixing with equalizers and everything

It's just missing the vocals, but, you know, it works like this as well

Also someone suggested I should bundle these genre requests into an album and I don't hate that idea, let's see what it looks like at the end of the year

after consistently getting the date wrong... here is my first weekly beat! messed around with some chipbreak on my M8. there's a lot of cool techniques that I've yet to explore with the little device... it's a fun genre to do tracker music with! hope you enjoy :) feedback is appreciated!!!

I was jamming with a SP404 beat and using several pedaleffects for the guitar.

This time something a bit more epic. Again, this is all done with the help of Roland V synth, arpeggiators running synced be the ear, but this one has also quite a bit of real time playing too. There´s something there that reminds me of Floyd´s classic track Echoes in some way, so that´s the title inspiration.

After weeks of bad weather today was the first beautiful and warm day since ages and i went photographing some spring scenes with friends today and got inspired to write that lush melody. Initially i had something else planned but in the end prefered this one even with it being shorter and less complex than the other concept i started on tuesday.

Overall im just happy i got to go outside with a tshirt on and no jacket for the first time this year.

Hows spring going for you so far? Is it already arriving or are you still stuck in winter lands?

It’s a weird world and a busy time personally. This sketch felt reflective.

On this week's track, I stuck to a single chord progression, that I stretched in Reason.

After setting up a group of instruments as pads, I then set out to create some melodic elements using arpeggiators.

I set a few of these up (including one for a bassline) and then added a couple of percussion loops underneath.

I decided to use the mixer faders to create a simple arrangement, after which I added effects and EQ. I finished up with a mastering chain and exported.

The track ended up with a feel that reminded me a lot of Dan Deacon.

This is the almost final mix of a song Ive been working on that’s part of an album I’m releasing. A lot of the songs have been years and years in the making. This song I just recently had recorded in my room and booked my first studio recording time for drums. I’m liking the mix so far :)

› lyrics‹ lyrics (Moms perspective to grandma)

The TV strobes on moms slow coffin

The talk show host drowns out the phone

Come on wake up cuz dad keeps calling

I roll her over to face foam

I’m so dissapointed in your light that never shines

Waiting for the day when all your stars realign

Cuz your way is faith unending

Well what a waste. Im done pretending

(Moms perspective to kids)

Moving out the state for gods plan

Raise you kids to fill the hole

Until I find my holy calling

To sing in lights praise feels like home

(Instrumental)

(My perspective)

The tv glows in my slow coffin

An empty room inside your home

Where people come and smile too often

For how we’re made to feel alone

I’m so dissapointed in your light that never shines

Waiting for the day when all your stars realign

Cuz your way is faith unending

Well what a waste. Im done pretending

Well whatever happened to the wings that made you fly?

From chasing dreams you thought one day would get you high?

It’s obvious you only see in black and white

It’s open season and you don’t know wrong from right

› lyric breakdown‹ lyric breakdown

-the song moves through my family history through the lens of my mom towards her mom, my mom towards her kids, and me towards my mom and the house she built.

-slow coffin is a call to addiction and really dissociating through televisions. Watching or playing games to cope with the life you can’t stand and slowly dying and withering away like a slow coffin.

- the first verse is my mom dealing with her mom and her drug abuse.

-the second verse is my mom trying to make a better home by moving and trying to heal by losing herself in singing for the church.

-the third verse is me feeling similarly to her grandma. Traumatized and trying to cope with life in a family that was never fixed.

-I appreciate the bridge/chorus “I’m so dissapointed…” because it feels like it could be from my mom’s perspective or my grandmas or mine.

-the final chorus is so cathartic in both the chord changes and the message. Whereas the whole song has been detailing the pain the chorus asks why. Whatever happened to the life you tried to make? To being a better person? To achieving your dreams? To make a better house than the one that was given to you?

-The song started out as guitar chords that I found a melody for.

-it took me a long time to add lyrics for.

-the final chorus I believe was a mistake where I just played the first barre chord and realized it could work.

-putting the song into logic.

-there has been multiple iterations of the recording of the guitars and vox.

-final mix has three vox with two tucked away and verbed up.

-two guitars that have different effects that are pretty hard panned to each side.

-a bass off to the side that I’m so happy with.

-violin, cello, oboe, clarinet, and flute show up at different points during the song. I have two melodies playing for the violin to differentiate between the lagato and spiccatto rhythms.

-the drums were recorded with something like seven mics? My friend played based on a sampler fun pattern I played before hand and practiced with that. We put a click in his ear and I sat in the room with him to help him find the points to start and stop but he’s such a talented drummer and really feels the vibe of the song and its dynamics to really send it whe it’s needed. Super like the ride bell hits in the last chorus.

-there is just light mixing and mastering to make sure the strings and vox dont clash too much and it’s cutting out frequencies for each instrument. I’m not particularly good at cutting out frequencies or that side of mixing and mastering but I’m getting there :p

Again this week trying to work on sound and mixing. Rethinking workflow. Incorporated some happy accidents, dropped others.
