This instrumental began with a piano part (which didn't make the final mix). The synth bass was added next, followed by 3 electric guitars...one holding the rhythm (although heavy with reverb and delay) and two picking individual notes (delayed and panned). It's the synth sounds and cymbal swells that really tie the sections together and smooth out the rough edges. I think the final version of this song only has 8-10 tracks. The rhythm is in 3/4 time, and I thought it was appropriate not to have any percussion. This entire song was written, recorded, and mixed in about 3 hours.
Tomorrow's song will complete another album (the weeks are flying by!). I wasn't sure what to do for the album artwork this week (Week 12: Space Station Vacation), but I searched for and found the solution last night during a dream. The same odd occurance happened the day before the "Life Lines" album. Now I just have to make the dream a reality.
