I'd like to write one more really solid song for it.

I have a great majority of my next solo record done. I met you in Pittsburgh, it was a great show I will often record to just that frame, then build the music up around it, then re-do the lyrics at the end (to match the song's builds, and because i usually will have read it off paper the first time).Īlso, what ever happened to "Two of Every Animal?" I was really looking forward to that. maybe just a loop or something simple that gets the vibe across. But not always.Īs for writing I usually will start once i have a basic shell for a beat. Oh and to answer your question, I guess drums is always a nice place to start. Even the stuff that gets played live is usually chopped or moved or something at some point. I do a ton of the finer editing on Pro Tools, and treat that almost like a sequencer. I then layer in other things, some live stuff, beef up a bassline, whatever. Even if i'm not looping long passages, i just like how samples sound, mixing sound from different sources, etc. I can play a few intruments pretty badly, and have some synths and guitars and basses and such collected from over the years - but i would say i still do half of the work on the ASR-10.
