This instrumental has a driving beat, one electric (picked) guitar, a wash of keyboard noises and dueling trumpets. The synth bass part is very simple and the electronic drums are purposefully puny so that the electric guitar sits on top of the mix. The background keys create a full sound, and the trumpet part was only played once...copied into another track, moved a few measures forward and panned to the opposite side of the stereo field. The bulk of this idea happened a few years ago, but it was re-worked and finalized today. I started the day working on a different song, but after 5 hours of effort I decided it was not worthy of completion. I suspected that might happen occassionally, but hopefully it's a while before it happens again.
Thiago Silva will be joining me for tomorrow's recording session. We have never worked together before, but we met earlier today to discuss ideas.
