It’s called “Waterfall”

I’ve written the 14th track now, and I have titles for all of them. However, that’s the easy part.

I spent most of today working on mixes for Waterfall, it’s been a lot of work. I was doing bits during the week as well as this and I’ve still only got mixes for 8 out of the 14 tracks. (And one of those is Lily’s track, so it was pretty much done – although even that one I’ve rewritten some bits.)

Part of the issue is the complexity of some of these things. Lots of layers to interfere with each other and hide mistakes. Part of it, too, is I’ve been wanting to give them a more distinctive sound. I know my style has never changed much, even from the 1990s, and that’s fine, but I don’t want to start repeating myself!

And let’s be clear: those 8 mixes aren’t final. They’re still rough versions. I have to listen to these over and over on different devices, different headphones, trying to weed out any problems. Sometimes the solution is just moving a fader slightly. Sometimes it’s rewriting a section completely.

As I write this I’m playing the tracks through and making mental notes of things that still need fixing.

But it is getting better!
