Brandon came over today around 9am, and he showed me a chord progression he's been playing with on the acoustic guitar. To keep with this weeks sound/theme we decided to try it with a distorted electric, we made a few adjustments to the progression (mainly just added a bridge section), then recorded it at 132BMP using Guitar Rig 3. The single drum loop, electric guitar, and synth bass laid a nice foundation. We added some foundational synth sounds (to create atmosphere), then we added a few extra synths for the sake of melody. About 12 tracks into this song we decided to delete the distorted guitar from the chorus section and replace it with acoustic guitar...good choice (it gave the two sections different textures). This would've been a great song for vocals, but I was pressed for time and didn't want to settle for what I had. It seems to work as an instrumental, and it's fitting as the title track of this week's album.
