Maurice RickardThis week's piece answers the question "what can I record between episodes of allergic sneezing and coughing?" Three tracks of guitar, some saturation, a fingerpicking theme with gravitational attraction. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/our-river-2
Our River
This one started with the fingerpicking theme you hear first, and...that became a center of gravity that everything else responded to. It was kind of a challenge to find variations that didn't fall into it. While tracking Saturday night, I suddenly had an allergic reaction to some kind of pollen in the air. Kind of difficult to improvise while sneezing and coughing, so I found myself a bit short on material. In a Sunday editing session, I had what felt like a complete version of the piece, but listening back to it a bit later...the last third of it dragged a bit. I ended up shortening the piece by 30 seconds, which seems a bit better. Three tracks of PureSalem Mendiola through the JHS Colourbox 10. Convolution reverb send for air, and then some compression/eq/limiting on the stereo mix. The title comes from (the) Our river, which has an elevation of 643m.
