steady as it goes
i haven’t posted on here in a while but I have been making decent progress on new material. the plan would be for the next ep to go out in early august and, learning from my experiences last time round, i’m going to set a deadline of mid-june for writing new material, then go with what I have at that point in terms of finishing things off ready for august.
i think i’m edging closer to having enough ideas coalescing in various states of completion that will build into songs in the next few weeks and one or two are well advanced. in fact listening back to one of the ideas today was what prompted me post on here as it was the first time i’ve listened to one of the newer tracks and thought “yeah, that’s pretty much there in terms of structure”. i’ve already learned that the distance between this point and the finished track is further than i’d previously thought, hence giving myself more time on this release cycle, but i just wanted to mark this small waypoint.
the track itself started life called reverse and i was messing round with putting a big slow sidechain compression on the core part but keeping the drum triggering the sidechain deactivated which resulted in this sort of weird reversed feel to the track, but, as i tend to do, i ended up moving away from that idea (for this track at least) and going for something else. the new title is 1202. i am not going to explain why it is called that as i think not explaining is part of the fun, but there is a reason.
anyway, i’m pleased with how it is going and feeling pretty chipper.
