So remember<\/a> how I said I wouldn’t write any more songs for Imprint<\/i>? Well, I’m thinking of writing a few more songs for Imprint<\/i>.
\nHowever much I like the mix of 10 songs I have already, there are times after I listen to the entire album when I think, “That’s it?” Right now, it clocks in at 38 minutes, which is a good length for an album written before 1987. Most albums nowadays offer an hour’s worth of music, a decent one at least 45 minutes.
\nI know I need at least two more songs, three if I can possibly find a place to squeeze them. There’s a song I wrote originally titled “Faith in Religion”. It’s a weird little number — the verses are quiet, the choruses loud and smack dab in the middle is a classical chorale. I never much liked the original demo I made on my first workstation, and I forgot why.
\nThen I remembered — no guitars. “Faith in Religion” was the kind of song that needed a lot of long power chords, and now that I think of it, an e-bow would really do the trick.
\nSo I may comandeer that song. It was originally supposed to be in the same set as “Promises” and “Silver Sting” anyway.
\nI’ve spent a few hours over the last two days hammering out some chord progressions, but one of them sounds too much like “Imprint” (the song) and the other takes after “Initializations”, which is another new song I’m polishing.
\nAnd I may just revisit the idea for a dub song, but I think this time, I’ll leave out the “Secret Oktober” drum beat.
\nThing is, I feel like I’ve tapped out the particular sound I’m aiming for these songs. Since I started working on 「風の歌を聴け」<\/i>, my playing tends to be a lot more dissonant. The chords I’m playing would fit better with that project than with Imprint<\/i>.
\nI’ve been listening to Yorico’s Cocoon<\/i> album quite a bit, and it’s pulling me to write a quiet piano ballad in the vein of Onitsuka Chihiro (or Carole King, for you Western types.)
\nWe’ll see what develops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
