The last entry, Passion Take 2, was actually for yesterday, Saturday, but I am not a slick enough blogger to know how to step back in time..........
So today: more work on the refrain drums, which are getting a bit better. I am doing something a bit unconventional in that on the refrain I am dropping the snare and using a rim shot - very un-rocknroll dahling.
I also spent more time experimenting with a DX200 sound for the refrain - somewhat a cross between a sine wave and a string section, way low in the background. I think it works. Even with a nice GUI, FM synths are still quite strange to program, perhaps as its been said only Eno can understand them.
More work on the arrangement, something more conventional than I usually do, more like verse/chours/verse. Maybe I don't have to re-invent the entire structrue of songwriting each time I write a song. I mean, I still like a good hook.....
