My initial idea-a recording designed as a piano loop for a retirement-home style radio announcement. Ultimately, this idea was abandoned as it proved wildly upsetting in the context of the project- I decided to go more "upbeat".

Recording Draft 1

Playing off the idea of catering music to an "elderly" demographic, I interviewed a good pal of mine, Don, in grand central station(in the midst of my failed audio excavation adventure).

With this approach, I went for a lo-fi, echo-chamber audio effect by taking live audio and playing it back through speakers in the dorm restroom. It wasn't quite what I was going for from a mixing standpoint, but it is a stage in the recording's evolution.

Something of a regression from the previous version; while I attempted to "flesh out" the chord progression, and craft a "fuller" sound, the raw audio is so blown out that it ended up unusable in any final mix. Still, a step in the song's "evolution" nonetheless.

The closest recording to an actual, final mix; while I'm not pleased with the "levels", and the way in which Trevor's guitar work is buried in the mix, the piano layering was a deep concern and  it's fairly un-distracting in what is heard here.
