Step
one: Write a song. Step two: Record the
song. Step three: Done with the
song????
The
answer is no. That is not where the
creative process stops. In my world, the songs have just begun!
What
happens next?
I
like to think of it, as the shopping phase.
Think
of it like going to the mall. You go
store to store, looking for the perfect look.
Trying to find items that fit you well, have something a little
different, but are still in the current fashions.
That’s
a lot like trying to pick the sounds for a record. When you’re making music, you get to decide how everything little
thing will sound. How much low end the
bass guitar parts will have, if the keyboard will be a fuzzy synth or maybe a
grand piano, or both! You decide.
So
right now I’m collecting a wardrobe to mix and match, to try on and alter. In
the end, I just need to make sure I’ve got the look I need.
When
my night at the ball comes, I want to be ready with the perfect dress.
