Richard and I wanted to try some of our old recording techniques by building up a song one track at a time. We started with the persussion tracks using a Djembe, drum kit, and a tiny circular wooden marimba. In keeping with the Technology theme, I then chopped those tracks up into loops which I then played back randomly. After tidying up the results of that, I added a synth-bass loop from my loop library. Next I added the vocals; the only lyrics I had when I pushed the record button was the chorus (technology is good to me...new technology is good) the rest I winged it; making it up as it went. The vocals were done in one take. After further tidying and working with the structure I had Richard add the guitar in one take, which I then cut and pasted and looped to fit. I learned a lot about my multi-track program (Live 7) with this project. I hope you can tell how much fun I had during this learning process.
Technology is good to me
New Technology is good
Change for the better
Unchained for the best
Turn to the future
And all the rest
Look into your Dream Places
What do you see
Look deep within your mind and
See what you can see
Every rule you use
Remember what's using it
Every tool you use
Remember what's using it
Technology can be good to me
New Technology sometimes can be good for me
Depends on how you use it
Depends on other things
...It's something
Going back to stone and wood
And other primitive things
Trying to get back
Back to my roots
Got to start a fire again today
That Old Technology is still good
I used whatever I could.....
