So the bass had to be repaired. The mails had to be written. The bills had to be paid. Some new possible rooms had to be checked.Some more mails to be written… and finally some small black fish like shapes had to be pushed back and forth on the computer screen to push the track a bit further completion. Sometimes its a good idea to work a little bit on many things at the same time. Sometimes its better to work a wholeday on one track. It all depends.Today was a one track day – a short one track day.
I feel that working on tracks that are taking a new direction – musically and productiowise – makes for many small tweaks on different tracks. One day it might be finished and ready to go very fast. Sometimes you just need to open it up to see/hear its nearly finished and you didnt even know it. This is mostly when working a bit away from what I normally do – l normally make chill out downbeat stuff, but the last years I have also made some punk meets electro track mostly to accompany silent film (Battleship Potemkin f.ex), and this is very different towork with. Lots of guitars and live drums that needs to blend in differently than more mellow acoustic instruments and electronic dubby sounds.
The fun stuff begins when you mix the two genres I think. It takes on a whole new dimension and you can lighten upagain after two much office work, emailsending and bass repairing. Has to be done though. You gotta breath too – in between tracks.
