Solace (demo)

In honor of mewithoutYou's 6th full LP release "Pale Horses," here's my mashup of a few songs from all 6 of their LP's. I took several tracks and cut them up into moments, then changed the tempos and/or keys if necessary to make a cohesive work from all across their catalog into a new 3 minute song. There is so much material to pick from and several different genres, which made this a challenge and a joy to put together and reminisce how much this band has meant to me over the years. Enjoy!

MewithoutYou Mashup 2015

The single for "Rest in Me," coming this summer!

Musically: Organic textures such as strings and group vocals mixed with electronic elements like synths and triggered drums. 

Lyrically: I explore how Jesus is a refuge in every storm. Though the storm may be fierce, He is strong in my weakness.

Refuge

This is a 1min sketch I did as a short project to portray the feelings of infatuation. I picture someone falling head over heels for someone else and this sound expresses them admiring that person.

Piano: Native Instruments' Una Corda
Strings: Spitfire Labs Cello, Spitfire Sacconi Violin, LASS Sordino Violin, Output's Analog Strings

Infatuation Lake

I've recorded an album. I've spent countless hours multi-tracking a full band myself, hiring a string section, meticulously editing and tuning etc. and now I'm at the mixing stage. I've had a few others and myself mix the first single. This is a science experiment to hear what others would do to my song, and to gather opinions of which mix is truly the best one. I've volume matched (almost to the exacts LUFS) so no mix has an advantage there. Also--it's an added bonus if mine "wins" so I can save $ on mixing. I currently, actually, like my mix the best. But I want to hear from you! Which one is your favorite? And what if anything would you improve in a revision?
