I have been collaborating with my friend Tommy recently these past few weeks and we are feeling really good about the music we’ve made together. Each time we work together we become more synced up, it’s really cool. Recently we worked on my song “Rotten Fruit,” and we got a large chunk of the instrumental portion produced. I am really liking our process of noodling around on our respective instruments and then recording when we find a good melody. Ableton allows you to convert audio to midi, so once we’ve recorded our instrument it’s really simple to rewrite it to midi and edit it further. Once it’s annotated to midi, you can apply any instrument you want to the sound. So something that is initially recorded from a violin can later be changed to a trumpet or a guitar. I really like that feature. Below I will share an audio clip from what we’ve been able to produce so far. I am also sharing the two spa EP album artworks below – I really like how they came out! I used Canva (I have a pro account) and it was super easy to design some really unique cover art that fits the vibe of each EP.
