So, during the COVID-19 pandemic, for the last few months, I've been working with studio musicians online in remote locations separately via SoundBetter and been working on new songs. The first song is Shades of Myself, which will be finished at some point soon, and the second song is Sleeping Awake. I wanted to give you some exclusive behind the scenes content of what we've worked on so far, so this is part one of the songwriting/recording studio process of what we were working on for the first song, Shades of Myself.
It's been an absolute honor and really great to work with the guys at SoundBetter, and make my latest songs become so much better than its original demo versions, and it's quite a long way from the old basement studio demo days, so it feels really nice to have the songs executed in its perfectly imperfect artistic visions the way it should've been done years ago, and I think you will like what we've done so far. Here's the drum tracks of Shades of Myself. In the next part of the Behind-The-Scenes with October Evans series, I will share with you bass tracks for the second song, Sleeping Awake. We've not finished bass tracks for Shades of Myself yet, and will get around to doing that pretty soon. And in the third part of the series, I will share with you a rough demo version of Sleeping Awake, with just nothing but instrumental tracks blended pretty well together. This is not the final official version, so here you go and have fun!
Sincerely,
October and Comrades.
