Texture & Light - I Was Thinking I Could Clean Up For Christmas

I was asked to contribute a Christmas song for the XO Publicity Holiday compilation and I couldn't resist covering a song from one of my favorite artists, Aimee Mann. It's a very dark (un) holiday song, but it always gets put on repeat when I hear it.

I Was Thinking I Could Clean Up For Christmas (Aimee Mann Cover // Free DL)

Winter Wonderland - Dave Wickerham & Mark Demmin at Sanfilippo's

O, Oceania

This is my contribution to Haiku 274.
The poem conveyed a sense of desolation. I wanted to capture this beautiful sense of darkness and yet convey light bursting through.
I kept thinking of the color yellow, how it can be mellow and then also very bright and energetic.

Based on a recent conversation on twitter I was interested in using a variety of delay effects.

Sarah is a Peoria singer-songwriter with an electronic twist, writing and recording out of her home studio.  Known for her eclectic music style and intricate piano improvisations, Sarah released her 3rd LP "Penguin Party" in December of 2017.

With a sound rooted in classical piano, her studio work relies on strong keyboard work,  ambient washes, electronic nuance, vocoders, and some beautiful vintage gear.
