Hey Rotti patrons! Happy Friday!
Here's my new nu-disco track with Matthew Clanton and Doktor Plekter! I'm really happy with Clanton's performance on this track, you can really tell he gave it his all! I figured for the Rotti exclusive post of the week, I'd take some time to explain exactly how this track came together.
Everyone's contributions:
- Doktor Plekter was a large part of the process of putting the track together! He supplied the synths, bass, some percussion and sample chops! He also did the solo at the very end and those cool glitchy synth parts after the choruses!
- I moved Plekter's parts around to make sure it fit into a pop song structure, and added extra percussion (kick, snare, shakers, hihats, all that good stuff). I also did the synth solo near the middle of the track, added some nice synth arpeggios, and wrote the lyrics (plus the vocal melody)!
- Matthew Clanton, of course, sang the lyrics and the melody I provided him with! He also added some awesome harmonizations which I have to credit entirely to him!
As you can tell, this track really was a group effort. But it was also a lot of fun! I really look forward to doing this again for my upcoming EP / albums. Enjoy everyone! - m
PS. - here's a fun fact: I wrote the lyrics about missing my boyfriend. The gist of it was that we met up near the beginning of the year and made plans to eventually move in together, but the pandemic made everything way more complicated... I figured I might as well write a song about something I really cared about, so there you go! Hope it's not too cheesy or anything!
