Wrote lyrics for a new song which has yet to be named. The working title is "Punkette", as in a punk who is female. Yeah, it's a terrible name... yeah, I'll re-name it. Other than that, I have a collaboration in the process with the new song "Let 'Em Go" which I am very excited about. The wheels are in motion peeps. I am trying to get the mixes right for the tracks I have done. For some reason, this album is incredibly hard to mix. Not sure why...
The album is very different from what I have done before. I like to let the music make itself. If I try something out and it sounds good I'll go with it. I had asked the question in earlier times "Acoustic vs. Electric" and the response was overwhelmingly towards acoustic music- which I have to admit is my favorite to play. The response towards synths and the like was a bit back and forth, but I believe that the general consensus was that a little synth mixed in with acoustic natural sounds was a sound that would work.
So far, the album has been mostly a mixture of either acoustic tracks that are very bare, or synth tracks that would make good for dance floors.
The main thing I can say about this album though is that it is in one word, "warm". Sort of like an analogue kind of warm. If you don't know what I'm getting at, it's alright... I don't know what I'm on about half the time either.
The record has a very organic nature and feel to it. Sort of like looking out a window on a fall day and feeling the emotions in the wind and the trees. When I first started thinking about a fourth album I told my girlfriend that I wanted it to sound like "a robot in a rain forest", aka Acoustic+Warm Synths. That's basically the mantra of the album so far.
