When I was working on music yesterday, during the brief window of time when I was free to do so, I thought I ended up with a much more impressive amount of progress. Looking back on it now… meh. It was okay, given how busy I was otherwise, and it was WAY better than day two, but over all? Meh.
I took the two bass riffs that made up my entire haul from day two and added a few new bits and worked out the full song form. I then added two new songs. Both had a full song form and MIDI bass and drums along with a MIDI guitar to act as a guide for when I record the real guitars. Song four also has a melody track played on a MIDI electric piano. I didn’t have a chance to add any lyrics. Also, just to note, song number five is in 7/8 time (which is proggy and cool) but song number four is in 5/8 time which is just nuts. I originally had an idea that was in 7/8 but I fucked it up on my first pass at recording the bass line and my screw up worked in 5/8 and I just ran with it. It’s going to be an absolute nightmare to record the guitars and vocals… but watch me turn 5/8 into a theme this year.
Three days in and I am up to five songs in the production pipeline.
