Koht called me last Tuesday and said we should play music. Honestly, we accidentally started this loop in C# which made it extremely difficult to jam to this. But the song had good bones and thanks to a string of serendipitous events in the remixing process this thing came out pretty well. Especially when Crystal came home at 10:30 and busted out the Melodica.
I miss you Rob. I used a custom Logic Audio synth patch to do the bass. I’m stoked on how that part came out but really, there’s no substitute for Rob’s bass riffs.
The lyrics / cover art are following the theme…. what would it be like to talk to yourself when you were a kid? Do you think you would even listen to yourself?

This month we’re excited to announce one of our favorite songs of the year: STRIVE. Again, we had the great pleasure of working with the string section from Audiafauna in Gadgetbox Studios. In particular, check out Andrew’s ethereal stand up bass harmonics in the very beginning of the track.
Another song from our jam session with Peter Koht and Crystal Birns on New Years Eve.
Happy New Years!!!
Peter Koht came out and jammed with us. He played a cover of Beirut’s “After the Curtain” which came out beautifully. When we did our Gadgetbox sessions, the string section from Audiafauna laid some tracks down and really tied it together.
