One thing I always come back to working on is having a VISION and trying to execute that vision in a productive and meaningful way, which is the topic of this week’s Joy of Recording. In this episode, I’ll show you how having even a rough vision of where your recordings are going can make the end result exponentially better!
Dan, really enjoying your series and the thinking and process explained here. This is invaluable advice and certainly a key to creating more than a "jumble" of ideas.
I’d love to know if you end up applying some of these concepts in your own creative process.
@@oceanographic I have been seriously writing and recording on my own for about two years now. Like you stated, I have found what works and what doesn't to keep an idea growing. A guitar part will typically provide the spark and by feeding the fire a little I know, creatively, where I want it to go to play to my strengths. I find that the drums are often, then, the fuel that keeps the fire going.
I can greatly appreciate your "will" to turn the guitar into a catalyst for inspiration other than just what the instrument has been traditionally.
Great stuff, Dan! I'm slowly catching up on this series you're doing and there's some very helpful information being put out there. Thank you for sharing this!
Dude, the joy of recording is seriously the best thing to follow right now! Cant get enough!!
Thanks so much, Joshua! I’m so glad you dig it. Tell a friend!
Definitely
Very good stuff. I've not articulated it like you do here, but I work in a similar way: either I have a decent enough idea of what I want the song to be and do and work from that, or I start from scratch and the idea quickly builds as I work. In either scenario the idea and the work adapt and change to accommodate each other as I go.
(there's also option three: the idea is not strong enough to sustain growth or nothing useable can be constructed)
Just call Brian Blade and you'll have a spot on Daniel Lanois vibe there ;-)
I would LOVE to call Brian Blade.
Love the guitar tone on that initial guitar part, what fuzz/drive are you using on that?
