Bottom Freezer Update – arrangement finished, first fridge solo recorded

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.

“Bottom Freezer” – a.k.a the track with the fridge solo

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!

CW21 update

Short update again…

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.

No new tracks recorded or written (but at least, one sketched out yesterday in bed). Still, progress was made: there will be further guest artists on the #secretalbum!

Today’s Accomplishment: start of “Aeneis”

Take some very – very – old influences for lyrics, and combine them with Eighties rock music anger: the result is entitled “Aeneis” and is about to be finished. Well not exactly finished – but I managed to record the introduction, sketch out the first section, and compose about all of the song – lyrics still an open topic.

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.

A productive day: Sachsenbohne first mix, Orgeldings new mix

A first mix of Sachsenbohne took place, and Orgeldings is sounding way better with a new virtual organ!

New Track: Sachsenbohne

Another track got recorded which I had composed yesterday evening – working title: “Sachsenbohne”.

The “Orgeldings” brings atonal counterpoint – performed on a (virtual) church organ
