Quruli: Mind the Gap
One listen and I’m fairly certain that parts of this song were easier to write about than others. I think it’s due to how it flows and how it makes use of samples, particularly the bagpipes. Anyway, I think I … Continue reading

Mr. Soon: Arcosanti
I wrote this pretty quickly after the last Mr. Soon track I wrote about, and I think a bit of that writing carries forward here. Or feel. The songs are pretty similar (similar, but different) so it sort of feels … Continue reading
Mr. Soon: Ventana
This was written in one go, and it sort of functions on loops and I found that interesting. I don’t always, but here I did and I don’t know why. Didn’t come through in the writing, but I do feel … Continue reading
Shallow North Dakota: GJ
One listen, and another where I just went in. Some active thinking here and there and still a sense of being broken up, but I think this one is better than the prior one. I might feel that way due … Continue reading

Shallow North Dakota: Salvo
One listen. Just went in, knocked it out. Paused for thought a few times, but got this done in what I feel was a smooth writing process. It does feel a bit broken up, but that’s how everything was coming … Continue reading

Jon Batiste, Chad Smith & Bill Laswell: Drop Away
One listen. A lot of this came easy, but I feel like I was writing against the song in parts. It’s difficult for me to quantify, but I feel like that’s how I wrote. Jon Batiste, Chad Smith & Bill … Continue reading

One listen. Went in, did it, didn’t think too much. Some bits here and there, but otherwise… yeah. A short bit of writing for a short piece of music. Jon Batiste, Chad Smith & Bill Laswell’s “B1” is from The Process. … Continue reading

Underworld: Pearl’s Girl
One listen. This is a song I like quite a lot, but never wanted to write about it until this morning, I think. Decided to go in, did it, and am happy with the result. Think I struggled a bit … Continue reading

Hiroki Kikuta: Meridian Child
One listen. Felt myself running short early on so I consciously switched where I was going, and I think doing so worked. Hiroki Kikuta’s (菊田 裕樹) “Meridian Child” is from Seiken Densetsu 3 Original Sound Version, the soundtrack for Seiken Densetsu … Continue reading
