Talk To You

New music!

I started this track in L.A. with no sense of what I was going to do with it. Two weeks and a half in Paris with a talkbox and I shaped it into some romantic boogiefunklectronic music. Or something like that.

It’s never a great thing to force something over, like I did with the voice but that’s the thing to start something somewhere and finish it later, somewhere else. It’s always better at least to me to start and finish a track and not add features when it wasn’t part of the idea first. But, it’s a good exercise too, it pushes me to improvise more and it’s always in these moments that you discover something. “Uh interesting, I might keep that!”

My TV since years. Foobar’s 20 band spectrum, fuck you it’s better than 99% of what TV offers.

I spend a lot of time analyzing sound this way, from my own stuff to everything I can put my ears on. I notice something in the sound, I look at what’s going on in the world of frequencies. The little dance of each band is so fascinating to me.

The process of subtracting things is great too. Shaping by trimming things down, fat, not so clean or great licks, there’s so much of that. It’s scary and a bit of a let down when you created that stuff but it’s the moment the ego has to go away. “Bitch, I’m mixing fuck your bass it will be -6 dB again in her face that’s how it goes”

Sometimes I wish I was going faster but it’s pretty fast to do it everyday and not depending on anyone to put it out there.

Another track or two and I go back to more game development, I have some placeholder/dummy audio assets to create before going further into gameplay and then, I’ll have to get some programmer friend to help me out…
