  • I’m having an enforced break from guitar as I couldn’t find my Guitalele after the kids had borrowed and hid it before a 4am depart for a week in Brittany. Bollocks.

    Did a bit of quick and dirty remote collaboration with a mate on some library music last week. This is his full-time gig and he asked me to pitch in for a bit of variety and for a laff. The plan was to meet up in person to do one track with a brief that broadly translated to “heavy blues”.

    Annoyingly on the day we had set aside he got sick and I got super busy so I ended up throwing together a Bo Diddley groove and *ahem, tossed off, some slide guff and pinging him the files. Almost everything I played on it was a one-take improv squeezed into 15 min gaps between work and childcare. It was all very rushed. My mate recovered enough to cobble together a rough arrangement and mix on submission day… didn’t turn out too bad all things considered.

  • Sounds like a fun job and the recording sounds great, especially given the remote side of it all. Reminds me (in a good way) of menu music for truck driver sim video games.

  • Ta! That was pretty much the brief. Background music for heavy machinery. It’s hack as fuck, but was fun.

    Home recording set up looks great. I do love a home recording project. Something to be said for giving yourself a finite time and aiming for getting something of the occasion down on “tape”.
