…I’d say about 95% of what gets recorded will make it’s way to a completed track and be a part of some release..that last 5% remain as sketches. whilst still being good tunes, they stray way too far from the mood to follow any story!…maybe they weren’t dark enough?…
sketches
A little admission of my process…I’m a big fan of letting my instruments and imagination guide where the music should go. I’ll write a short story for each project to revolve around and focus only on the atmosphere and mood of each scene. Music theory will take a back seat while I feel my way around just playing with noises but at some point, the music will wander down a different path. Usually a drastic and unexpected turn but always an interesting one and one worth travelling down! Now taking on the form of something I never intended, but still following the mood I was after! Hopefully capturing every part of the story but leaving everything open. I’d say about 95% of what gets recorded will make it’s way to a completed track and be a part of some release..that last 5% remain as sketches. whilst still being good tunes, they stray way too far from the mood to follow any story!…maybe they weren’t dark enough?.
These are a small selection of that 5%…up on my Bandcamp now for you to check out my early stages of process..before the tracks travel down a different path!
