What the hell's a djembe? No, me neither. So it gets an airing in the intro. Tried to hit a just-behind-the-beat edginess to fit in with the just-behind-comfortable intent of the song. Titles are hard. *Tech Corner* More clangs and thuds…

The song started life as more sonic doodles using the Numanesque 1979 synth emulators -- so if you think it's 80s, you're a year out! Was also working on transitions from verse to chorus (as I've listened to too many fawmers doing this rather…

TL;DR: more guitary than my preferred synthery. With production practice too. --- For a recent collab, I undertook collation duties: mixing received stems without (hopefully) losing their original energy. Those stems were played on real instruments…

TL;DR: it's got percussion in it. I had an idea for percussion-heavy song: that I found tough to articulate because it's not a usual thing for me. More practice required. I dialled back the bpm as the percussion became (even more) a wall of…

I'd been recommended some free plug-ins for DAWs. One of these plug-ins emulated synths from yesteryear that were bizarrely nostalgia inducing. Which led me down a path to a sort-of retro style song. It's possibly anachronistic: I didn't check…

TL;DR: this is a synth-pop track about being true to yourself. For the last couple of days of January, I'd been listening to Pete Shelley's "Homosapien"¹, on repeat, like a deranged teenager. The idea was to overdose on a song I liked, so that…
