Tomorrow I’m posting a new video. A 4-track, 60s-style recording of a song about dissociation and apathy. I want the mood of the recording and its production to reflect the spaced out, lethargic and alienated feeling I had when writing it, while still keeping the song feeling like a very (flawed) human performance. The track is called “Cloudy Skies”.
We’re using vintage instruments and gear from the second-hand arsenal, and building up some uneasy, moving textures in the background using outboard effects units. It even features an organ solo on the Bontempi 70s electric chord organ - and of course the WEM Copicat tape echo remains a staple.
Getting closer to album time. I’m finalising the mixes on some of the tracks from previous videos, and still writing new songs…with accompanying videos which will come out as and when they are ready.
Thanks for your support and for lending your ears to my little creations 🙏 God bless.
