*LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES*

This is the 4th upload, I have a love-hate relationship with this song.

*LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES*

I'm gonna leave this here as my homage to Robert Johnson, the legendary bluesman. 
This is actually the first thing I recorded the day my audio interface arrived back in early 2020 and I had forgotten about it.
I found it on my hard drive and decided to give it a little mix, and maybe try to make it sound a little old, but without losing too much quality. I mean, it is a song from the 1930's. Sounded like fun.

Ramblin' On My Mind

*LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES*

So I bought a cheap lap steel.

*LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES OR SPEAKERS*

I decided to take a break from composing a song, to rest. During that break, I made another song. This is that song.
Now I need another break.

*LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES*

In the middle of recording the guitar solo, I broke a string, so what you get is a lap steel solo where there should've been a guitar.

I Need You

*LISTEN ON GOOD SPEAKERS*

Thank you professor David Novack, for showing my class the film "Harold & Maude", so we could get addicted to its soundtrack.

Where Do The Children Play

*LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES OR SPEAKERS*

I don't know what to tell you, one thing just lead to another, and now I have a 13 minute long song to my name.
Contrary to what I say in this account's bio, this song in particular did not take 2 hours, as you can imagine. 







Clearly not inspired by Pink Floyd. Which is interesting because I've barely listened to them lately

A friend of mine showed me this drum sample a few months ago. I loved it and wanted to make something with it. This is the first time I've made music from a sample, and haven't composed the entire thing myself.
I haven't made music in a few months, because of college, so this marks the first time I've made music in half a year. Hopefully there's more new music coming soon.

It's been a while. I have some days off, let's see if I can squeeze a few covers in here

Brad's Song

Since I have my guitar tuned a full step down for other purposes, I decided to record two covers, this is one of them. I've wanted to do this song for a while now. But never felt like I could give it enough, because it's the simplest song. Today I said fuck it, and now this is a first take.

La Mar (The Ocean)

Since I have my guitar tuned a full step down for other purposes, I decided to record two covers, this is one of them. I've wanted to do this song for a while now. But never felt like I could give it enough, because it's the simplest song. Today I said fuck it, and now this is a first take.

Sun On My Face

Goodbye to Summer. This is the first time I've used my ukulele on a recording.

Sunsets For Somebody Else

I lost the files for the recording session the day before recording the guitar solos. So what you're hearing is the first draft of the mix, don't judge too hard.
Also, I broke a string doing the last solo, which you can hear. This cover was cursed

Black Water

a friend demanded that I do cover of this. here you go, Tiaguinho

Magnolia

So, I bought a banjo and immediately recorded this.
I don't have a mandolin, but I have a ukulele, if you really want it, it's the same thing, right?
Love this song.
This cover was strongly inspired by Josh Turner's and Carson McKee's version on YouTube.

Friend Of The Devil

felt cute, might delete later.
recorded on a 50 year old classical guitar.
this is the second take from a very quick recording session at 2am on a Sunday.

very inspired by Orquestra Bamba Social & Tiago Nacarato's version

O Mundo É Um Moinho (take 2)

Legend goes: I went to the university studio to try and record a whole song alone, with the help of a friend from behind the computer. 
Drums, harmonica, 3 guitars, lap steel guitar, organ, piano, bass, acoustic guitar and vocals. We had 3 takes max for each instrument, as time was running out hahaha.
Thanks to Daphné Chenel for two layers of backing vocals.

I absolutely love The Cat Empire, but their songs are quite challenging. So here's me challenging myself.

Rhyme And Reason

*LISTEN WITH HEAPHONES*
I was just singing this too much all day, so I had to find a way to get sick and tired of it, so I did a cover.

The Ballad Of Curtis Loew

*LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES*
had this one locked in my computer for a few months. My sustain pedal on the piano was fucked so I had to drench the piano in reverb

Had posted this previously but couldn't live with it, so here it is again with little improvements.

It's been a long time since I've recorded a fully acoustic tune, no MIDI, just microphones.

My My Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)

None of the tracks are properly mastered.

The content in this account is all produced from my bedroom. All of these tracks were sort of made "in a hurry". There's mistakes in all of them, as the idea behind this account is that the songs are made with the least amout of takes possible, and there's no patching takes together. Every instrument or vocal you hear was recorded in one long take. Whatever you hear that doesn't sound "correct", I know it's there, and I won't remove any track because of it.
The primary goal is to look back on what I've done through the months/years and check on the progress I've made, as far as instantaneous and spontaneous creativity and problem fixing are concerned, mostly.

Have fun.
