Today hasn’t been the most successful day. I’ve been trying to figure out how to go about the new song… which so far is still untitled, but that’s gonna change. I figured I might use my electric guitar again for this one. So I dusted it off, set up my amp and effects and [...]
I’ve had a dream about ‘Unspoken’ last night where I found the last missing piece and it fit perfectly. So I had to try it and it actually worked. I sometimes have dreams about the perfect song – haven’t had one in a long time, though – and even if I remember [...]
Back in the studio after taking the weekend off. I can’t say that it was all that relaxing, but that’s my own fault… got hammered with my best friend. The more disciplined I am most of the time, the more excessive I become when I eventually go out. Work hard, party hard… or [...]
I’ve been pretty busy trying to finish ‘Chaos & Order’. The beats are mixed and automated. The rough mix is done, too. I realised though that I have to rerecord the vocals, don’t really know what I did back then. Some are too quiet and some distorted. And I can’t [...]
It’s been a very long day yesterday, but a very successful one. In the end I was already kind of getting cross-eyed and it would have taken me twice the amount of time to write a new blog since I would have spent half of it correcting typos. The two sounds I recorded really make the beats [...]
I had some appointments in the morning and early afternoon and managed to go swimming in between in this great public swimming pool that was built in 1914 (Stadtbad Neukölln. Yep, that’s where I live, Berlin I mean, not Neukölln). Quite decadent and much more fun doing laps. It’s [...]
That’s what today has been like and it’s also the song I’ve worked on. I said I would try a kind of R’n’B- or HipHop-style, but I can’t really say that it sounds like that now. I recorded a new bassline for the verse that I love. It’s a bit of a cross [...]
Okay then… I guess I’m just gonna pretend I’ve been doing this blogging all along. I will throw in bits of flashback info of what I’ve already recorded and so on when it seems appropriate. Otherwise I’d be sitting here till morning and my typing skills are already in [...]
