Polishing

As most of my collaborations within my own practice happen online, the process of finishing and polishing this song in person was very refreshing. I feel that while online collaborations can produce good work, being able to work in the same room and make decisions that don’t require much verbal communication, instead relying on reading the energy from both people in the physical space, makes the process feel a lot more immediate, intimate, and raw. It did not take much to finalize the track after recording. After we placed the vocals over the instrumental, it was enough for us to pause and just soak in what we were creating. The vocals would naturally hit and bring out details that we had not even noticed in the track beforehand, and intuitively making quick edits to the sounds to help bring out the character in the vocals and make things hit harder was a seamless process. It felt like many elements of this track happened by accident. Even the last part which is the entire song chopped and resampled at a ridiculously fast rate, was the result of a joke that grew into a crazy ending for the track. I will link a demo of the track below.
