Here's some music by my new project called The Motivation Radio. It's droney and psychedelic.
For those who rather just skip to the music instead of reading through my self inflicted insomnic rambling, I blame you not.
The song is not mastered but fortunately you're not like the hawks of the loudness war anyway and I trust you to turn up the volume button if so inclined
Free download for a WAV included, the streaming of Soundcloud is far from ideal.
Things ain't going so well however it makes sense to go to the studio all night and mess with music, gear and getting utterly wasted
Haven't wrote a song for more than a year, been busy travelling a lot and also I don't have to because I play with a great songwriter and singwriter. It's been liberating to take a break from that, but hell yeah it feels good to be back at it too. This night a great friend and former bandmate of mine dropped by Århus and helped me finished the track by adding a lush chorus guitar and percussion I wouldn't been having been able to play myself. Dhabuka on a seperate track and shaker, tambourine and cowbell bounced down to one track. The shaker survived the generation loss surprisingly well, using a brighter mic like the Neumann KMS5 with some pre-emphatis helps a bit.
Most of the reverb on the drums comes from my beloved Oktava MK-319 placed on a concrete coridor, the rest is from spring reverb. Nothing digital here except for maybe the chorus effect and the stylophone. The kit was miked with D112 on the bass, Beyer M201TG on the snare, SM57 on the ride cymbal and floor tom and a B&O Beomic 3 as a mono overhead. F*ckloads of compression on the way to tape on that, the bass and the vocals.
Still don't know whether this project is my solo project with important contributions from friends or this is Michaels and mine new band. Might go back and make a more polished mix later, however we felt like sharing it straight away and proiritized vibe over "perfection" this time.
Hope you enjoy. Have yourself a great weekend.
