My track naming process changes with practically every song. There are some cuts which have a title before the song is even fully fleshed out; while other tracks get their name from particular themes or moods derived from the composition itself. This particular example was named with a combination of both processes. I knew what I wanted this song to be called in a very roundabout fashion before I even settled on an arrangement, but the title didn’t get finalized until I added a particular reverb treatment towards the end of the track.
I’m often very conflicted when making production decisions for a track. There is a part of me which aims to achieve a definition and clarity which highlights the various notes and timbres present in each composition. That being said, there is also a part of me which strives for the murky, ambiguous qualities which shroud many of my favorite songs of all-time. I believe this track achieves a happy medium of both ambitions without altering the track’s intent.
