In the past 3 days i only focused on the collab track. I defined a general structure with a lot of variations, maybe a bit too many but i think it helps to understand where the vocals sit better.
I'm now waiting for the vocals, then i think i'll be able to cut the unnecessary parts. When i start a song, i usually tend to add so many synth layers, like a chaotic brainstorming of sounds, so i always have to go back and cut stuff.
For this track i'd like to make it a bit shorter and create more coherence between the parts. Let's see how the vocals communicate with the instrumental :).
On the side, i'm experimenting with my kick sounds in Serum2.
Next week i'll take some time to optimize my live set (light version) because i have a show next month and i'd like to test it.

I realized i have so many tracks to release (like 15/20 haha).
I'm making a list right now i have enough material for an album.
Yesterday i worked on a new song idea and it's about laughing :) the instrumental is so cool, with a lot of glitches and weird FM sounds. I need to record real laugh sounds; i'll ask Michelle to do it :) i also want to add some texture with the GR-1. It's the best for organic random elements, i love this machine. You just have to put an audio file into it and then twist the knobs as you like.
The song reminds me of my older one “Catfish” but in a newer version.
Also, i just received the vocals for the collab track i was working last week i can't wait to listen and finish it. Probably i'll start tonight!
Oh, i have a couple of songs coming out in the next few days; i hope you will enjoy the music!
Cheers!

Okay, the “laugh song” is nearly done. It has a very weird vibe, like everything is pitch-bending during the song, with a cool electro bass sound. I just need to add vocals (laugh haha) and work on the mix.
I want to play it at my next show, which is in 2 weeks, i want to test it.
There are a lot of cool snare synth sounds in it. i need to bring some order and choose one to dominate the others; it's always a challenge to choose the right hierarchy of elements like who stays in the front and who sits in the back, also with synth sounds. Maybe it's just because i always overproduce, lol.
Very happy with this result; i needed this freakish song; it came out easily in 3 sessions.
I made some progress with my light live set; it's all working outtt.

Here we are with another weekly update. Last week i was super productive, i finished 2 songs!
The first one was the “laugh track.” i finally added a couple of recordings of Michelle laughing. i manipulated the pitch and quantized them to create a sense of rhythm and looped them.
I also did an extra layer by putting those recordings through granulator III and twisting the knobs.
It sounds a bit overwhelming having all these weird voices going on and on; i need to listen to it more carefully and with fresh ears, but i'm 100% happy with the instrumental all the synth sounds magical and freaky!
The second track was the collaboration. I put the vocals into the project, and as i predicted, i had to cut lots of layers. Initially it was kinda difficult, but after trying and trying i found the solution. Now the track breathes and the vocals have their own space.
This one is so clubby and trancey; the vocals made it so catchy. i'm ready to deliver it to the singer and hope they like it!
So in 4 days i have a show here in Milan and of course added these 2 new tracks. i want to test them with a crowd and a big sound system! I made the light live setup; it works very well!
A little negative note: i noticed that the newer tracks sound so much better than the older ones. I think it's unavoidable, i'm quite happy that i improved at mixing haha. But i don't want to go back and fix the old mixes.
I already touched those tracks so many times, so for now i'll keep the original sound even if it sounds a bit unbalanced.

The show went great! There was a really warm energy, i had so much fun and met new friends.
Then i took 4 days off where i rested, did sports, and watched movies in my bed; i needed to recharge my batteries by doing nothing, just being alive.
Then on Wednesday i opened the project for the collaboration track and finished the mix, and after some feedback we decided that it's finished! It sounds so good, i can't wait to drop this one, i've been listening to it on repeat.
Now my side music tasks are done, and i can finally focus on new music. I'm going to export all the drafts that i want to include in my future album and maybe plan my next steps to complete it.
I have guitar tracks to record, lyrics to write, old projects to rearrange, maybe also a sampling session. It's all coming together. I'm feeling excited for next week; i don't want any commitments or distractions for the next few months, just my boring and beloved routine, my music time, and of course some chess games here and there.

Today i woke up and finished exporting the demos of the tracks i want to include on the album.
I listened to all of them, and i felt a bit confused. There are a lot of different styles and vibes, and i don't know if they work well together. This could be a very weird album, not very cohesive, but really entertaining in my opinion. Usually i like to make albums with a strong direction in terms of sound and style, but this one is going to be different.
My goal was to make everything i like without thinking too much, like a sort of sketchbook, a personal laboratory of music. So my initial thought was: okay, i like ambient, i like punk, i like deconstructed music, i like guitar. Let's put everything in here and maybe i will find a sense to all of this.
Uhm haha, i've been stuck thinking about this and listening to it until the afternoon.
Then i picked up my guitar and made a new track. I recorded it and finished it in like 2 hours (it rarely happens), so i said to myself: wow, this is the way, this is beautiful.
"Enjoying the process of making it." I think i said this when i started this journal in January.
It was always the main point.
So this track is punk mixed with trance synths. It's fast and danceable with an angry vibe. i'd like to make a video for this one; i actually already have an idea for it, but i need to think about it.
At the end of the day i came back to the original idea of the album: the melting pot.
During the week i retouched some tracks, making little improvements before exporting everything.
I just need to keep going until i'll be 100% sure about everything. If it's not 100%, it's a no.

After a weekend off, in these last 3 days i've been planning how to finish the tracks that are almost done, and then focus on the ones that need more work. I need a structure, to think about one thing at a time and tick finished songs off this big list without thinking too much about the mix. I can do that later!
I finalized the punk/trancey track, adding a sampled screamo vocal. I also tried to scream myself, but i only ended up losing my voice. All my failed attempts were so funny, i laughed a lot. I only used a single word that came out decent. The song is done and i love it. It reminds me of my younger self when i was into dance-punk and spent all day making guitar riffs. After finishing it, i tried adding a classical guitar part as an intro or outro, or maybe leaving it as a ghost track. I'll decide later; for now i'll leave it there.
I feel better about the whole album. After talking with some friends, i feel more confident and less confused. I just have to be patient. There are too many songs, so it's impossible to finish it in just a few sessions. Do not rush, it's all coming together.

I have a new synthesizer! The Erebus V3. I'm really loving it. In these past days i've been playing with it and exploring its sound. Wow, it sounds like electricity. I don't know how to explain it, but that's exactly what it feels like. Also, it is always slightly out of tune. I like tuning it by ear. It has 3 oscillators. It's really what i was looking for! i'm very excited to use it in my new songs; it's my first fully analog synth.
Tomorrow the weekend starts, and i'll be all alone in the house for 3 days with no distractions, so i decided to organize a big music session and work on the album.
Currently i have like 6 songs at 90% and 3 at 50%, so i'd like to do a challenge here (as i did before). What could be a goal for these 3 days? Let's try to finish 3 tracks. Considering i have some tracks that are nearly done, i think it's doable! I will also film the session with a little camera. It could be cool to have some footage of the making of, like this journal, and post it too.
I've spent too much time inside the house these days because outside it's insanely hot. I miss walks, i miss my favorite spot at Monumentale Cemetery.
I should wake up very early and go outside before it gets scorching hot.

The weekend session went great. I finished 2 tracks and, instead of finishing a third one, i made a new one ooops haha. I'm quite happy with the result, i know the challenge was to finish 3, but it's okay!
Very hyped about the new one, it's a cool chord progression with these vocal chops manipulated via midi through waves tune realtime (autotune). It has some features i love, like note speed, transitions, and the correction factor; i'd like to automate these parameters to add movement.
My idea is to keep the track drumless, but make it pump with a sidechain-like effect, maybe only on the big reverb and delay of the vocals. I want the vocals to evolve continuously in an expressive way, unpredictable, avoiding repetition and just leading the melody in a human way.
Uhm, it's kinda stupid using a human voice recording, then processing it as if it were sung by a computer, and then trying to make it more human again with automation. What the fuck am i doing? What a weird time for electronic music.
It's Thursday today, the weekend is near. Let's go with more sessions, i'll probably focus on finishing this new one and maybe finalizing the older tracks.
I also started writing all my mixing ideas and edits in a notebook so i don't forget anything, because i'm starting to feel overwhelmed managing more than 10 tracks. Writing everything down is helping me not go crazy. Let's go!

During the last weekend i made an edit of a John Dowland song, "The Frog Galliard," which has nothing to do with the album (lol), but i needed to do something just for the pleasure of it, with no pressure. i've put it on SoundCloud as a fun exercise. But okay, let's not lose focus on the album. In the past few days i've made little improvements to a few tracks, but i mainly listened to all the demos and noted down some things to fix. I'm back in my hometown right now, so i'm not in my studio space. I have some family stuff going on and old friends to meet, so i'm struggling to find time to keep working on the tracks. But i'm constantly brainstorming, which is a bit exhausting because it's hard to focus on other things. These moments are perfect for clearing my mind, but i'm not able to do it. I know this is all part of the process of making an album. It happens all the time when it's a long-term project: you reach the point where there's no more instant gratification, only critical overthinking and decision-making. Jumping from one track to another to continuously change perspective. And trying to keep everything aligned with your overall vision, which continuously morphs into something rare and distinctive (hopefully).

Okay, i don't know why i'm trying to say cool artist things, but i kinda see it like this haha.
Less ranting, less time wasted, more progress!
Nothing more to say!

Song of the day: Conditions – Better Life

Yesterday i almost finished the track with the manipulated vocal chops. i've made a great structure with a lot of variations. It's mainly drumless, except for some clicks and snaps in a few parts.
I added an ascending outro where everything starts melting together, like a sort of huge pad.
I should try going full wet with the reverb on the synth group and see what happens.
The vocals are so beautiful. I processed them with some "analog obsession" plugins for color and dynamics, and i'm impressed, they sound incredible. I probably need one more session to complete this one.
Today instead i recorded some vocals, kind of a hook, for another track. It's like a loop that goes on basically for the whole length of the song (i still have to figure that out), but it really works!
Also, this track had like 5 synth arpeggios masking each other, so i sent the midi to my new hardware Erebus V3. Wow, it solved the problem and improved the part with some glitchy textures after i started twisting the FM knob. I'm impressed! It is now the protagonist of the song. I muted all the other Serum arpeggios except for some minor parts.
I should now work on the structure and decide how to develop it from start to finish, but i'm already quite happy to have found this direction.
The Erebus is silently becoming the glue of the album, making the whole thing more cohesive.
I'm feeling very productive these days. One thing at a time, every day! Let's go ahead with this wave. I feel positive.
