Patron Songs Update: Try This, Get The Mood, Noises
It's coming along! Patron Songs III are/is officially a thing!
Some days, it feels like an insurmountable climb. Others, I'm like, 'Holy crap! I'm awesome at this!' Mostly the first thing.
So far, I've got 4 short songs done (except final mixing & master) and several in-the works. As with other projects I have on the go, there are basically a bunch of scattered or loosely drawn-together ideas that I'm trying to pull closer together until they sound like something enjoyable. I usually just tinker around; try this sound, try this sound, what's that do?, what if I play this through that?, etc.
Actually, I'm being more experimental with these recordings than I usually am. Not extra weird, just trying out different things, trying to go to places I don't usually go, musically. I think part of what's pushing that is these amazing photos!
Usually, I don't work off of a visual thing. Usually, I go by mood or feel - I try to create the mood or feeling. The photos already have their own mood or feeling, so they make this more challenging and more interesting, I think. Stepping out of my comfort zone.
It's been so tempting to share audio, but I'm trying really hard to be good and not spill anything til it's time. Honestly, sometimes I cheat a little and share stuff in Patreon Lens - but I can't help it! I can't wait to share these tunes with you all!
Alright, I better wrap this up. Thanks for being here, supporting all this! Thanks for your patience on these short songs. I'm trying to sneak in time for some other good audio goodies, as well, so you don't have to wait in silence. :)
Take care and let's chat soon!
