My favorite part of orchestrating the 𝑰𝑵 𝑫𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑴𝑺 single was playing with filters and synthesis. Like how much can I SOFTEN the edges of some of these parts? What if there’s more sharpness on the front end of the sound while the back end has a softened quality? Featuring some incredible moments by @nickcampbelldestroys and @anthonyfungmusic 👀
I wanted 𝑨𝑴𝑬𝑵𝑫𝑺 to create an immediately clear and immersive melody, that totally grabs hold of you in the first three notes. One of the coolest things in recording this song was creating the “invisible” orchestration to SURROUND this delicate melody like a little glowing halo, more felt than heard. 𝑨𝑴𝑬𝑵𝑫𝑺 is like a little soundtrack to trigger all of your nostalgia, and you can just press PLAY on those memories again and again and again. That’s what I look for in the music that hits me the hardest.
Thank you @anthonyfungmusic and @nickcampbelldestroys for making this music 3 dimensional!

I wanted to create an atmosphere that hit immediately. I wanted the melody to feel elastic and delicate, while also angsty. I wanted the riff to feel literally addictive under the fingers to play. I wanted the melody to be crystal clear and to hammer the chorus theme home, literally spanning three octaves by the end. And thanks to @anthonyfungmusic and @nickcampbelldestroys , I think we did just that! I bet you can’t listen just once.

Some long form chord dialogue navigating my tune “Slide.” This tune has been such a slow burn for me, basically chopping AWAY at the dense harmony for the solo section to create an AABA form that’s still has some tunes, while less harmonically dense than the actual head. Enjoyyyy

🎧 Iso ambience from the AMENDS 💔 single. Recorded a reverse delay diad part, and added a washed out E bow track on the lower strings. Trying to create a pillow for the melody to sit on top of, focusing on HIGH END information to really create a sonic “back wall.” I wanted to try to catch a little of what Vangelis created as a back wall on the 1982 Bladerunner soundtrack. You can hear these in AMENDS if you tune your ear in 💔
