I finally recorded what may well be the first-ever fridge solo in music history – and on the way, finished the arrangement for the track “Bottom Freezer”. Read on for first-hand info how to properly mic a fridge, and on using advanced design methodologies when just writing down a song.

Ever heard that someone won the “best fridge player” award in some prestigious magazine’s poll? If there was such a thing, I might be competing for that – enter “Bottom Freezer”, a track with a fridge solo!
A few new ideas for tracks
Note that I’m not that productive right now as in CW16/17, where I took vacation/FTO. The higher workload right now doesn’t keep me from coming up with ideas, however.

New track: “Shalom Sister” – bringing together tatooed cats, tech POCs and the history of sampling
Again harvesting through old Cubase projects, recording trombone, and learning how to program drums. Including a revisit of the drum tracks from the #twitterchords track “A Tätowierte Katz’”, and a nod to possibly the most important drum break ever.

New Track: Sachsenbohne
Another track got recorded which I had composed yesterday evening – working title: “Sachsenbohne”.
New Track: “Orgeldings” (working title)
The “Orgeldings” brings atonal counterpoint – performed on a (virtual) church organ
