Found a song yesterday that I made, maybe about 5 years ago for a song writing module at uni and thought I’d share it. The idea was to write in a style or use instrumentation that you wouldn’t usually use, so I decided to build a track using only my voice (except for one synth effect). What I produced wasn’t really like a-cappella though, it was inspired more by a song by Emmy Rossum called Slow Me Down. Even though it was a long time ago i’m still actually kinda stoked how this came out to be honest. I sung each note separately and added effects and then pieced the notes together to make scales and chords and panned them all into their own spaces. My main criticism is that I sung a sound like “dooooo” so the initial letter sound gets a bit annoying after a while; it might have sounded smoother if I’d maybe hummed the notes or something, I don’t know. The singing is a little off key in parts but to say I recorded the song in my bedroom with just one mic and a laptop I’m quite pleased with it. The lyrical theme was based on the film “Hook” and Peter Pan in general and was about people I knew changing as they grew up and me thinking it was kinda lame. Anyway nobody cares about “personal” things on Tumblr anymore right, so I don’t need to be embarrassed about leaving this here just for my own memory archiving-ness. :)
