SOUND KAPITAL: CHEAP MUSIC

The most "ROCK" song on the album, an ode to doing it low cost. Discussed: thee Olde Jamme Space, rocking, FM drum crunch, the endless workflow labyrinth of DAWs , the limits of the human voice and the 4 track tape machine.

Music: 4 hour NES 8-bit Mix

Hope everyone is good. I'm headed to Palm Springs for ONE day and then I'll be back rounding up the album series with No Feelings and a few bonus videos.

Mini-studio tour would be awesome! This was a lovely and thoughtful discussion, thanks Dan. Pretty encouraging to hear that you write end-to-end as opposed to working it out bit by bit in a DAW. Iโ€™ve never been able to write the meat and bones of a song the latter way myself. I listened to the new track before this, and I was really into how up-close it sounds, if that makes sense? I wondered if you were working with a 4track and an amp simulator! A good friend and I have both been getting a kick out of the Strymon one, Iโ€™ve been using it with a very cheap guitar (a Harley Benton ersatz les Paul jr thatโ€™s piss yellow) lately and itโ€™s been a fun change.

And yes, Kit Harrington is disappointingly short! ๐Ÿ˜‚

You got me thinking about the explosion of AI towards the end there- people can use all the generative tools they can find, but the soul is missing. Pen and paper > chatgpt; and cheap music with raw energy >>> over-sanitised over-worked stuff โค๏ธ
