Where's all this sappy music coming from? The Olympics were on. I must have been watching too much figure skating or something.
Unmastered track from my 2010 RPM Challenge submission.
So, I start playing my Guild acoustic. However, the strings were new and had gone all slackish, meaning down a few tones. I liked what it sounded like and took them all off. I then restrung the gtr with super heavy guage acoustic strings. I then…
This songs reminds me that this is the moment i have. No longer looking for the dawn for the dawn is here.

STILL can't work out how I could have developed this. Really struggled with it, so it shall remain a fragment..

I heard a story about you
I didnt want it to be true
But it felt like it might
You, well it was all about you

This started as a simple piano piece from Osckilo, I took that as a beginning point and added the rest (synth, guitar, drums from Boss microBR), turning it into a prog-rock instrumental.
I really wish it was a proper studio! I have some mattress stuff stapled to my wall for sound proofing and Im using a reflexion filter for the vocals and everything else is direct to logic. The Reflexion filter really helps for cutting out ambient noise but its a pain to deal with because its really heavy for the mic stand. I suppose when I move to a house with a basement I can have a real studio and until then I have to keep telling the wife and the dogs to go to another room!
