This song is a love letter to California, all the beautiful and varied “Californias” that I’ve ever visited. It’s about being stuck in traffic on interstate 5; the sights, sounds, smells, the lives of everyone around, the cars, the music pumped out from their open windows…I love it, and I feel constantly fascinated by it. 🌇
I’m also feeling quite homesick for the many wonderful places and people up in Northern California…I miss them all terribly 💙
LA is an endlessly interesting place, and grateful for the experiences it offers. I’ve always been in love with my home state of California, so wherever you are, I hope you love there just as much.
I also used this recording to test out the new SR117 microphone from
@earthworksaudio as I prepare a review for
@tapeopmag
This microphone is incredibly versatile, and extremely fun to sing into. It’s a condenser, which threw me a little at first, but after a few takes with it I found myself falling in love with its detail and simplicity. It has quite a flat frequency response, which means I could carve out all kinds of interesting tones and play around with heavy EQ.
Thank you
@davidbaezlopez for letting me use your bass guitar!!
I’m wearing my
@sparks_official shirt that
@ooopsifelted recently gifted me and a
@gorillaz shirt when I played keys, but that’s kinda hard to see.
Please share!! We hope to make this tune avaipable on all platforms if people end up liking it ❤️
