I emailed Laura today for some info on the songs we're going to be recording and we're going to meet on Wednesday after class to discuss instrumentation and things like that. Here's the long and short of her email, pretty much verbatim:
1. This Waltz Will Wear Us Down:
It's in 3/4, and I believe it's in A minor
On it will be: piano, drums, bass, trumpet, violin, toy piano
Up for Remixing
2. Closure:
It's in 6/8, changes keys.
It will have: piano, drums, bass, violin, multiple vocals
Also up for remixing
3. What I Was Promising
4/4, C
First song I ever wrote...very epic.
It will have piano, some drumming, but not a full kit, violin, multiple vox., melodica
4. It's No Surprise
4/4 B minor
This is a really simple song, kind of somber it doesn't need much done to. piano, some percussion, multiple vocals with effects, and a steady bass line
This could be a cool simpler remix, in the way that "Recycled Air" is at the end of "Give Up"
5. To Think that We...
This is a very optimistic song. Second that i ever wrote. Very something corporate
Straightforward, 4/4 in G
Piano, Drums, maybe a little guitar
6. Seven Days
I think it's in 6/8? E minor
Very Arpeggio and fast paced, the fourth song that I wrote
I'm afraid of what drums would do to this song
Piano, Bass, some percussion, a little bit of violin, multiple vocals.
This is Nick again. I'm really happy with this email and it really boosts my confidence about the songs we're recording. I'm glad we're going to be going outside the traditional 4/4 structure and I think it's one of the big positives about Laura's music. The 6/8 songs will probably be a little challenging but I'm looking forward to working on plotting the instrumentation of the songs on Wednesday.
