Last Night on the OP-1
I’ve been taking in a lot of input, learning new systems. I’ve got my system for what I want my live show to be, mastering tracks for release, curation of the backlog trying to get that out, and just a lot of manual reading and YouTube and learning, and as I’ve said 100 times that stuff can make you crazy.
So this morning I started to demo out on the OP-1 a song from the backlog. It’s called Last Night. It’s a good one. I love it.
In my two hour am jam yesterday I kind of put a reggae feel with it, which sounds terrifying, but it’s not. It actually works. Demoed it out on the OP-1 this morning and it was just wonderful and fun and it made me feel good.
If you can take a song across a few different genres it’s probably a real song. It’s got good movement, a great baseline that just plopped right out when I started recording, and most of all it shows me I can bang out an OP-1 real song demo in an hour.
I wanna have a base demo of all these songs and I’ve got like 60 days to do it so no pressure there, but as I work through the live versions I can demo them out easily and quickly because I know my way around recording with the guitar amp in the OP-1 and my cutting and paste skills are real good, so all that I can transfer over to the finished product and either use or not.
Just kind of working on the music took the pressure off this morning, and it’s all pressure that I’ve created with all this music stuff.
So I’m going out to have a Sunday. A bit outside of town to see a show and then we have a record release for a friend, and I’m not gonna work on one thing having to do with my own music for the rest of the day.
Thank you very much.
