A Couple New Ones
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008SO yea, I’ve been lazy, but only in terms of updating the blog. I’ve actually done a couple new things, I just haven’t gotten around to posting them. Neither of these songs contain any cello - I did them all in Logic, but they still have their merits I think. The first one was more of an exercise to see if putting a poem to music really works or not. I think it does more or less, but I’d like to redo the vocals at one point, and my slight dissatisfaction with them probably explains my instinct to put them so low in the mix.
This next one was very fun to make with my roommate and two of his friends from home. The goal was to make some sort of David Bowie-esque futuristic space song. We made the whole song in an evening, and if it seems thrown together it’s because it is. If it seems incredible then that’s just because we are futuristic space geniuses. Doing this one made me realize how dumb and simple pop songs are, but at the same time how fun they are. I think I’d like to do something like this, with a heavy beat I mean, but instrumental, with some cello - maybe kind of a trip hop type of song like DJ shadow or something rad like that. Who knows, I’ve been pretty uninspired lately, but I’m going away this weekend and maybe it’ll revamp the creative juices.
