Creative Process Returns!
Fuck yeah, I’ve got my laptop back which means I can start making music again.
Other than that, Hype and I have written another track, which won’t be going in The Demo Tape, it’ll probably be reserved for the next album. I know, writing songs for a 2nd album before the first album isn’t even half recorded yet. What can I say? We needed an outlet for our creative minds, so we wrote a next track, it’s called “When My Mind Wanders”.
It’s quite experimental in the way we laid out the track, and it’s very free-form in structure. Very rarely do I jump from thought to thought the way I’ve done in this song, let alone in the middle of a line, but I’m quite pleased in the way that it came out. It’s definitely not the way I’d approach a song over and over, but for this song, it just felt really good to let the ideas flow without being afraid that the idea isn’t concrete in it’s meaning.
Hallucination’s imagination is in unconsciousness
Expand to infinity, looping in its thoughtlessness
These lies in your eyes are only delusions //
At ease, — guiding the mind to conclusions //
AY YO I don’t think you need to do another set of vox for Tha Chambers, unless you want to double up the vox on some parts. I did my best at imitating that by just using chorus at parts where you’d want the vox doubled (i.e. “working in tandem”, “Founders of the NKC”, etc), and tossed some reverb on some other key spots - and seriously, it sounds really brooding and FIERCE.
I’m gonna mix it down in the next couple of days and send it along, you’ll have to tell me what you think, and if it’s good but needs some tweaking, you can have the multitrack to add doubled vox etc.
