The Assignment: Use a picture of the clouds as a plan for adjusting your sound.

Step 1: Think about the use of a gate in music production. A gate can be described as an “on/off switch, allowing signals over threshold to pass while muting everything below.” (It’s likely that discussion will occur during this project regarding useful explanations of the concept.)

Step 2: Take a picture of some clouds.

Step 3: Think of how to interpret the clouds as a model of a gate.

Step 4: Record a track employing the approach you determined in Step 3 using the picture from Step 2.

Lyrics

Look up to the sun 
Your face is wilting
Has the rain not treated you well?
Has the rain not nourished you well?

Look up at the sun now
Doesn’t it encourage?
Everything makes a life moving 
Moving 
Hasn’t the carousel treated you well?
Hasn’t it treated you well?

Look - just another face painted like yours
It’s not very unique, you know,
Hasn’t it treated you well?
It’s not that unusual, you know -
To see all the memories that made yours
Reflected - reflected, sadnesses reflected 
Hasn’t it treated you well?

It’s not that unusual you know
To think of the smaller moments that were less painful and not see the same hope.

Another day on the carousel,
Hasn’t it treated you well?

Mirror reflecting faces I don’t know too well,
Reversed image where the light is somehow drained out.

I keep experiencing - without you 
I keep experiencing - without you 
And they say, “You’ll get used to it now”
And they say, “sometime time will treat you well”

Last year I looked into vintage portraits of flowers, and still life, still lives long since gone
But it’s ok because the residue made it back to me


Credits:

Self-produced and mastered. Originally was something I improvised with just voice and piano in August, been trying to fix it up ever since and ended up adding sound design. Big thanks to Josiah for helping get the piano clicks out!! Zovi took the photo + I edited it.

Ultimately this song is deeply personal, coming from a place of extreme pain and persistence of hope. It will be released on December 16th, my uncle Truth Masri's birthday, as a testament to our lifelong friendship and the music that has shaped our family. Infinite love
