Episode #192: Musical Interlude – Making Interlude – Reworking “Many Miles” Part 3
https://archive.org/download/Podcast192_201904/Podcast%20192.mp3
This week, I’m continuing to work on the vocal part of a track called “Many Miles” that I started a long time ago … and this week, I’m testing out playing the backing chords in arpeggiated form and with a slow backing beat. The song has gone through a number of iterations, like an acoustic version, a dance beat version (a few bits included here), and the one now, which I think will be a slower synth version. Over the course of this week, I’ll see if I can get it to the point of being recordable (i.e. I have to practice it).
