Whether you pick up an instrument, lay down some drum loops, or turn your mic on and record scratch vocals, you\u2019re bound to create and reiterate on your process. Sometimes, just laying down inspiration and coming back to it allows you to take on the project with fresh ears, allowing you to reimagine what you\u2019ve created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On my song “Consequence,” the guitars that are part of the main loop were initially recorded as a separate song that I had fallen out of love with. The original recording was a folky,<\/a> semi-acoustic guitar loop that I had written a few weeks prior. When reopening the project, I took the guitar loop and pitched and chopped it until it was no longer reminiscent of its former self; I\u2019d created something completely new from the previous recording, running it through different gear and re-recording it in various states. From there, I wrote a drum line and added a smooth 808 that naturally complemented the choppiness of the guitars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
