    The Great Abstraction: Songwriting / Arranging / Recording Objectives

    gavincastleton:

    When I began working on this new record, I outlined this list of composition and mix objectives that I’ve gathered over the years:

    • A great pop song should be playable with one harmony instrument and voice
    • There should always be a focal point
    • There should always be a clear pulse
    • Rhythms…

    This is the fifth songs from my Won Over Frequency Fundraiser. The lyrics for this piece were inspired by Maya Peart’s recounting of the life and death of her beloved Bullmastiff, Hannah. Read more about the song-writing process here: http://gavincastleton.blogspot.com

    At the time I was waiting tables at Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando, FL. I was a cocktail waitress in the VIP lounge, which is Jimi Hendrix themed. I think staring at music memorabilia all day probably soaked my brain with that vibe. One day as I was leaving to go to work I saw a pile of cassette tapes laying on top of a canvas I had set near my door. I thought, “What ghosts could be hiding in those machines?” I pulled out the ribbon and tried to work with it, making some writing. I watched the ribbon curl up and it reminded me of Jimi Hendrix’s crazy hair, so that was the first portrait I made. I had never sold a piece of artwork. But selling was never that important… discovering is the fun part. by Erika Iris

    OK Tumblrrrrs, check this thing out.

    We made it at work, and it should do really well on your IPHONE/IPAD/ANDROID, chrome/safari on a desktop/laptop, but not Firefox :(

    It’ll look for music based on your area and play it. Let me know if it sucks. I love it, even if Ithaca’s local music sometimes sucks.

    New comic! Whipped this one up after an idea I had in the shower - where all the good ideas happen. Poor guy just got his sunrise and magma swell times mixed up.
