Its weekend and I am sitting in my studio, working on an edit of Julia’s lovely semi-instrumental “summernights” from our last album “us, together, now!” for Barikes upcoming fashion show.
My goal is it to make an extended version of about 12 minutes length that features western guitars, out-of-space keyboards, strings, harmonicas and more. It should capture the feeling of a lonely, melancholic - well - summer night:)
So I added some danelectro baritone guitars to it, a twangling melody line, some chords. I recorded some layers on my farfisa and put a noise gate that is triggered by the bassdrum on that track to recieve a funky phased filter sound. Its now 8 minutes long, not bad for a 2:55 track. I need to make it even longer, since Barbara wants to have only one piece of music for the show.
This idea sounds lovely, Rol. I can’t wait to hear it. Best of luck with it. Hope the show goes well for Barbara.
