💀
-This is a version Eric sent me around May 13th, 2020, that contains edits and refinements he made subsequent to our shared week in the studio during his February visit to San Francisco. I feel this version sounds focused, and has a graceful variety of discipline like how animals don’t wear makeup or perfume and don’t need to.


-The vocal performance here doesn’t do it for me, is mixed to high, and is EQ’d too treble.
-The overall mix is lacking low end. (I wonder if the electronic drums, and there bus are still in there doubling Eric’s drum parts?)
-While Eric was working on perfecting this, I got all carried away with adding a lot of vocal parts, and some new celeste lines…maybe even tweaked the drums a bit too…making them hit harder in certain places. This was a bit irresponsible. Hopefully it was worth it, and we will avoid concurrently working on the same song, for the rest of the songs.
