I didn't have a specific plan for today's song, so it unfolded in an interesting way. It has similar elements to the songs from the previous 3 days (another short one), but the overall sound is drastically different. First, it's an instrumental...it just didn't warrant any singing. Also, it has sections that are more melodic than energetic...a few of these sections only rely on a single keyboard sequence for rhythm. I started the recording session by layering 3 drum loops (only one was kept in the final mix). Next, I recorded the electric guitar (distorted), bass guitar, and a series of 'pads' and 'leads' from various synth programs. I've done lots of instrumentals throughout this project, but this one has some elements and structure that is fairly unique. I think this song fits with the others on this album, but hopefully it turns out to be the slowest song of Week 29.
