After reviewing the minutes of music I’ve made up until now, I’ve determined that, when I use reason and record, I prefer the songs that started with a pad and then worked up from there. So, I grabbed a bunch more pads and did exactly that today. I got pretty excited when I found one that sounded like what Mogwai used in “Moses? I amn’t,” which I’ve embedded below for reference:
I also wanted to try to drop rock-drums in, and of course a live bass, because it’s a lot of fun to play my bass now that I can have other instruments to play it with. I used some heavy effects on the strings, and they sort-of work; really, the whole affair could use a more careful hand mixing, but that’s what later revisions are for.
