We're Freak

So after a bit of a holiday away from working on my record, I decided to ramp up again. With all of the drums and bass parts really solid, I felt that it was time to build the weirdness, or soundscape stuff. You see, because I already hear the rhythm parts in my head, I have a different philosophy about building songs. If you fill it up with noise, for lack of a better term, and have to work the rhythm parts around that, you don’t risk having key anchor parts step on each other. It’s a bit backwards, but sometimes noise is the only thing that keeps you from adding too much. This time around I invited my good friend from Portland, musician, producer, and engineer extraordinaire, Cory Gray. He also has his own project called CarCrashLander. We share the same love for production - all things weird and noisy. There is always some serious back patting going on when we blow up a tube or transformer. We’re Freak is the first installment of the session I had with Cory.
