Arrangement includes Acoustic, Cajon, Vocals, and overdubbed Electric
This track was written and recorded within a few hours on some Sunday afternoon
The recording was finally mixed a few weeks later on an equally beautiful Sunday afternoon
Haunt
Summer 2016
Arrangement includes Acoustic, Bass, Drums, Vox, Synth, and a field recording
The intention for this track was to make it sound pure, so the recordings are not doctored much
Because of this, the mix did not feel very full, so we ended up recording sounds from outside and placed them at the beginning and end of the track
The airy synth towards the end of the track is a Casio CZ-3000 doused in reverb
Sitting By The Phone
Summer 2018
Arrangement includes Acoustic and Vocals
This was an improvisational piece by a friend and me
The acoustic recording suffers from some noticeable string buzz at the beginning, but due to the nature of the recording I felt it wasn’t worth it to overdub
The vocals are run through two compressors in series, one to handle the transient attack, and another to normalize the volume of the track throughout
ICU
Summer 2017
Arrangement includes Acoustic, Electric, Bass, Drums, and Vox
The reverberated guitar builds a padding at the back of the mix, while the other guitar parts add interesting twinkles in the separate channels
The bassline is one of the driving elements of the track, so it sits higher up in the mix
The vocals are double tracked and hard panned, since I did not think the vocals were powerful enough to stand on their own
