new song - "the last afternoon of a woman he only thought he knew"

Song Fight! entry #59 for us is up now in current fight! This time the title is "the last afternoon of a woman he only thought he knew". Wow, that's long! Anyway we wound up going through a very atypical process to create this song. Ken and Martin couldn't make it to our Tuesday night jam, so Glen and I wrote the music. Ken wrote the lyrics bu wasn't able to play the drums and mix the song, so I wound up mixing the song and using some drums I recorded Tuesday night. I also played bass and added some synth tracks and sang. So if you don't like something in this song it's probably my fault! Anyway, here's the link: "the last afternoon of a woman he only thought he knew" - Berkeley Social Scene

Occupy My Heart

Hey All,

We're in this week's fight, Occupy My Heart.

We had two jams to put this together. The song started with a keyboard riff in 7/8 that we decided would sound cool if it phased over a regular 4/4 song. We started there and quickly wrote the rest of the song. It took a while to track, but we got the music down. The rest of the week was spent editing and adding more keys. This week we got together to track the vocals and mix. Everything was going well until Cubase decided it didn't want to export the keyboard parts with the rest of the track. Somehow we got everything working and our complete song is available for your enjoyment.

Video coming soon!

Be well,
Ken
