Questionable Choices in Soup

by @jessespillane

Liner Notes

Doing a song a week challenge this year on a different site. I don't really have the energy to more than 1 song a week this February probably.

--

This follows a theme: Questionable Choices:

I made a lot of questionable production and writing choices

  • drowning drums in reverb

  • big distortion on piano

  • cheesy dx7 e-piano for no reason

  • questionable meandering solos with too much echo and lack of purpose other than to sound weird

  • programmed drum solos

  • final solo that is more effects than solo.

  • big distorted bass in spite of me knowing I can never get it to sound right

I think this suffers from my questionable choices, but I guess that is kind of the point? This sounds like something I'd try to make 20 years ago; big ideas executed loudly, trying desperately to prove that I can do something interesting, but kind of just creating a big soup-y mess. I kind of like it in spite of all that.

that big distortion coming in contrast after delicate chimes was an unexpected in a way I've never heard before. very cool. this has questionable and quirky written all over it in the best way :3

Your questionable choices have left a big smile on my face. Please consider that a success. I have an artist friend, and the names for his pieces are just as entertaining as the art itself. I’m enjoying your songs in the same way. Thanks for sharing.
