Advance demo! "Tracks Of Love"
Added 2020-11-04 16:16:06 +0000 UTCHello guys, this is a big deal for me, the first time I'm sharing a demo so much in advance in my whole career. This song is one of the first 5 considered for my next (and third) album. I spent last week working on the arrangement and recording it.
I started writing "Tracks Of Love" in 1992, it had many iterations and versions until 1998, when I lended some parts of the structure and melody for another song in a Spanish album production I did, that's been long time forgotten now. I was not happy at all with that version, that even missed the bridge you'll hear here. So two months ago when I was outlining the repertoire for this forthcoming album, I decided to record it again, only this time being more faithful to my original vision.
The original inspiration for this song was, believe it or not, the atmosphere and harmonies present in "Porgy and Bess" by George and Ira Gershwin. I wanted to achieve a piece that was at the same time metaphoric and somewhat dark. It still has some naivety about it, which I love. I made two arrangements originally, one more jazzy and the other one more baroque, even gothic. That second one is closer to this new version, that somewhat (in my mind) connects with "Running In the Night".
As you have been hearing here on my other demos in Patreon, this song arrangement could be totally different from what I actually end up releasing on the albums (or not, there's something I like about this one). It's a work in progress, and I'm really looking for your feedback, although I'd recommend you hear this one like four times before deciding, it has a slow burn quality about it.

2021-07-22 21:50:55 +0000 UTCPues si que lleva un estilo oscuro a running.... y en general est谩 genial. Le falta algo al compararla con la otra pero no le podr铆a decir, aunque seguro que acaba siendo otro temazo. Me gusta ese rollo oscuro que tiene running in the night . 馃槝馃槝馃槝 *La canci贸n del rey que se pasea con la silla que dice Pablo podr铆a ser enjoy the silence de Depeche mode.

2020-11-13 23:34:35 +0000 UTCI really love this! I like how it's dark and light at the same time. The drums have that great deep, dark bass sound, but the other instruments are on the other end of the scale. They're very light sounding. Then your beautiful voice in the middle! 馃槏
