OCT 22, 2024 // LOOK UP THE NUMBER (MICHAEL MUSIKA ROUGH MIX)
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
We have made so many versions of this song in so many different places and states of mind. I believe now it is nearly finished and we can start a new life for ourselves. I like it when I see a snake in the sun or a fish come up to the surface of a still lake in the early morning and eat an insect.
TAKE IT ONE STEP AT A TIME, AND ELIMINATE ALL DISTRACTIONS AS A MATTER OF COURSE, OF COURSE.

-I’ve added percussion
-I’ve done twenty or so lead vocal takes and a comp
-I’ve added background vox
-I’ve added a tiny piano overdub at the beginning
I believe all that remains is editing, and fine tuning of the mix. Also, should the sample of the answering machine be at the end? It feels well timed and to work just as it is. I wonder if we want it longer to include the full story about going off to jail.
