20241117_a sentiment (blend) redo update

This is a track from 2011. I originally spent a chunk of time yesterday writing just with the piano and came up with the concept and melody of the "emotional animals" chorus. After I finished and had moved onto other things, I realized that the chords I'd landed on were identical (same key and everything) to that old idea (called "Madness" back in the day and included some Dark Knight Joker quote samples). I've always loved that idea, so I spent 8 hours and 41 minutes writing more lyrics, redoing the arrangement, experimenting with new parts, recording, and then mixing this version. And it's still not everything I wanted to do! I didn't get a great vocal take and there are outro lyrics. Also, the mix is very likely severely overcooked because of ear fatigue. But... progress!

I got a Korg Poly 800 just to try and recreate Clouds by Gigi Masin. No luck so far, but I am having a lot of fun trying.

Clouds by Gigi Masin - Korg Poly 800 Fun (Jun 19 2018)

Here are some more patches from the Poly 800. You can get some really interesting sounds out of this thing. Again, drenched in reverb.

Finally experimenting with the arrangement after the 2nd chorus of this one. Also trying to get the mix to sound its best. Love this one so much... just want it to be good.

somebody on the internet a long time ago told me to remove the bass solo. fuck that guy. bass solo's back!

shallow sleep (feb 4 2020 - the bass solo returns)

Definitely changes the mood. Gonna need to adjust to the new guitar part and see what I want to keep and what I don't.

Giving It Some Thought - The Bridge (apr 17 2020 - New Guitar Implementation)

Just a simple, little piano track, but I feel like it has a lot of emotion in it. I have been into breaking out of the 4/4 box in small ways lately and there is some of this in the "verse" of this piece. As for a title, I couldn't decide between "You're So Beautiful It Hurts" and "I Love You So Much It Hurts", but love is deeper than beauty and I certainly felt this piece called for depth.

the pain of love

Playing with the arrangement and mix just a bit. Tried to record real CP-80, but it started too get too late and I was worried about disturbing the neighbors, so the Keyscape piano remains.

vulnerable (july 1 2020 Mix)

This is just a mash-up of 8 pieces I've composed over the last several years. I made a Youtube video previously, but it unfortunately would only upload at 240p, seriously bringing down the quality of the audio. I am uploading this so that I can listen to said audio in high quality.
