Our next song “Shadow / Light”
has had much more progress!
My colleague James in LA
sent over more guitar work
for it this week, and I
sent some of my own
guitar work back to him.
It’s been an interesting
experience collaborating
like this back and forth
all 100% remotely.
It would be much easier
if we were in the same
room together, but
we’ve discussed
possibly hopping
on a Zoom call together.
We’ll see if that’s
needed at this point
since we’re almost done
with the guitar work at least.
(Updated on the
Sam and I did more work
on the “attitude song”
as we’ve only referred to it.
There’s still no
official name for it yet.
We came up with
a cool interlude idea
after the first chorus
which is not something
I normally do when
songwriting, but
I’m all about wanting
to try new things on
this new record. Sam
went TO TOWN on
a wicked drum fill
that I seriously can’t
wrap my head around
how he moves his
hands so fast when
drumming.
Posted a video for it
in the #album-creation channel
in the Future Sphere Discord here.
We’ve stopped
at the 2nd chorus now
and haven’t come up with
a bridge yet. I may send
this one off to James
to help with guitars too,
it just seems like it
takes longer though since
we’re a whole state apart
and we’re trying to get
this record done by
my birthday in August.
