about

I didn't use the 4-track for this one but it started out quite lo-fi. I was playing around with an idea on the piano and had an old portable "shoebox" cassette recorder nearby and used it to capture the idea before it vanished. I transferred the piano recording into the computer and edited the form of a song together.

I was trying to imagine this song as a Rubber Soul-era Beatles tune and proceeded from there, complete with backwards guitar solo. Initially I played the guitar solo normally to the track but was curious what it would sound like in reverse so I flipped the file backwards and was pleased with the result so I left it like that unedited.

Though the piano was recorded without a time-keeping click and had some obvious timing issues, Joshua Van Tassel graciously added drums that suited the tune perfectly. Added some oooh's and doo's and bam it was good to go.
