11:59 pm. Shit. I drank tea at like 9. Can you hear my Long Island accent in that sentence?
The last time I posted (it was 12:12 am) I had laid down the basic drums, a foundation of sparse bottom notes. Earlier this week, I accentuated the drums with a lil’ snare roll and some cymbals to add texture. Tonight, I added the bass foundation. I may add more bass notes to make it bouncier or groovier, but I want to start sparse and build. Wow, this took a long time. 3 hours. Damn random syncopated beats that pop up in this song interfered with building any loops. so I couldn’t copy and paste one song part to another. For example, the bass line of verse 1 can’t be pasted to verse 2. Wow. Well, I’m going to decompress now. Thank you for listening as I build up Avalanche in the Cubase software.
Oh. here are the lyrics for this verse:
What was it that I said?
You didn’t hear or can’t believe.
If I repeat your face will redden, stiffen, then you’ll leave.
You’re a cherry blossom.
In a winter white your colors weave.
Oh this is all I said, I swear, no words hide up my sleeves.
