Today's song is another instrumental, but I started this song in reverse order. First, I created the drum sequences, and then I wrote the bass guitar progressions (in the key of 'C' @ 80bpm). There are two other guitars in this song...one clean picking electric, and one electric e-bow (with delay). It's the 6-8 tracks of synth that give this song depth and texture. This song is 14-16 tracks and it took about 3.5 hours to write, record, and mix.
Tomorrow's song will complete another album, Week44_Future Eras.

About Me
- OTTO
- My name is Matthew Otto, I am from Texas (USA), and I have been writing and recording music for years with various bands (2nd Home, oneunder) and under various aliases (Mumford, Squishy Jackson, OTTO). When I was 16 (1991) I bought a Tascam 4-Track cassette recorder, and my life hasn’t been the same since. I recorded hundreds of hours of music on that small recorder before graduating into the world of ProTools (2001). Over-dubbing and multi-tracking became a few of my favorite terms. Years of approaching music from a solo stand-point has allowed me to streamline the creative and technical processes involved with writing and recording. At this point in my life (34) I feel ready to challenge myself by recording a new song every day. At the very least it will improve my abilities, but I’m also hoping that the uniqueness of this project will stimulate the word-of-mouth machine…making my music available to new ears. I will start in July 2009 and continue for up to one year.
