I’m beginning to record the guitar for Can’t Wait this weekend. Grooves for Strange Trains and Lines are in the bag. Can’t Wait was much trickier, resistant to conforming to my time and phrasing ideas. I’d learned (the hard way) to record electronic music from the bottom up, which means starting with the kick then the bass on up to the melody instruments. I’m finding with Ableton’s Live sequencer that it’s not necessary though.

Can’t Wait was always less about music and more about lyrics. I say that it’s musically sloppy, because it’s a bit of everything without being strongly one thing. The song has a bit of an identity crisis. It never even had a true chorus until I married it up with a theme I wrote a few months ago. As far as superimposing order, Can’t Wait wants to be on its own. I hope it doesn’t mind me teasing out the essence on guitar.

I’m new here. I hope this all works. If you found this blog, welcome. This is online home of my musical project, the hurry gain. I’ll be releasing an EP titled Zen Luck Tricks in about a month. I’m also thinking of posting all submixes and samples I used on the album. The blog will be a daily record of current and next steps in pursuit of my true love, music.

Let’s see if this publishes correctly. I’ll be back to discuss the lyrics and inspiration behind Can’t Wait.
