Color Sketch 01: Dreamy Lapsteel

Share

Author Comments

It's hard to release music when most of the stuff I work on these days are cues for films.

One of my plans to fix this is to try to release "color sketches" which will be short ideas exploring blending of colors and sounds. I don't want to get too caught up in trying to create rules for myself, so for now it's just going to be whatever I feel like working on.

I LOVE the sound of slide guitars with tons of ethereal reverb, so this sketch started as just that...lapsteel (with aftermarket benders added) with plenty of reverb and delay. The rest of the instruments were added as needed to fill out the idea.


Here's a performance video if you're into that sort of thing:

Especially like the guitar on the background

Awesome!

Wow, this sets the scene nicely. Love how each chord takes its time to develop - every note has a shape here. Just really beautiful, organic-sounding, refreshing music. If I ever take a vacation in Oklahoma or something, this will be my soundtrack. ^_^

Is that a Recording King steel guitar?

sleepFacingWest responds:

Sure is! Inexpensive and sounds pretty good. I added benders to it too after watching Troy Brenningmeyer's video on them.

Damn what a journey
