Today I started a track while working on another. It was a random idea that I got while working with a filter on a loop in Dr:Rex. I immediately started another file and perused the new idea. I think this is a good way to work, fun too, but makes for many unfinished works. I would hate to be dry of ideas!

SOLID CREATIVE PROCESS

While working on this new track I cam to the idea to work on one element at a time and when I had it to my liking, combined it with a second and worked the two together, getting ideas for recording the two together, then laid this down, and then finally introduced the third element. Like mixing a cake, bringing in new elements a little at a time once the existing ones are combined well. Its a solid process but slow and can be draining.

TODO

I think I need to practice more improvisation and live recording as I feel a bit scared of doing anything live and I feeling it would speed up things and keep it fun (and require less energy).

Also, I’ve rendered out all the stage 3 tracks I’ve made and imported to iTunes so I can listen to them mastered down and see how I feel about them. Already after one hearing I feel I know things that need to be changed in some tracks and see what it perfect the way it is (well, some mastering couldn’t hurt on them all).
