Sometimes the actual moment of the recording and the creative process itself are more important to me than the final result. They capture something more personal and immediate, because I want to share a true picture of my music rather than something constructed or artificial.
This week, I couldn’t sleep one night, so at 3 a.m. I decided to record something on the 4-track cassette recorder sitting next to my bed. I grabbed my acoustic guitar and did two takes. I was half-asleep and had no real plan for what I was going to play. I just improvised around an idea I’d been exploring with a new guitar tuning.
The next day, I realized I liked the recording more than I had expected, so I added some texture with the Pianet and a few effect pedals.
This is what came out of that midnight session.
