Day 1 recording/creating my drum loops for my 3rd and last @side4collective record. This is one of the ones that I came up with today. It’ll take about 4 months to get them ready for sharing.

I’ve no idea what approach im going for with this record but it’s sure to be a wild adventure! 🥁🥁🥁🥁 adding loads of percussion and Moog this time. I might even sing in order to make sure it doesn’t end up a commercial success 😅

Get in touch if interested ! It’s collaborative all the way!

Thank you @araschronain

I love soundchecks ! Especially when they are with sensational musicians like Keith Farrell… you know the ones that make you sound really good? He’s one of those 👌

Drum grooves include a Linear beat with off beat bass drum , a 3 against 4 hi hat opening thing and … well , just enjoying the jam 🥁💥🎸

Thanks to Steo Farrell for the vid, another extraordinary musician 🎸💥

LYRICS

8. Four Letters

Oh heaven I’ll live by your breath & die by your sentences, go

Be restless without cover, feed on the minds of the sold

I’ll leave it, my arms are always open wide, in hurt I’ll bet it’ll right us to let it go

Four letters, deny we’re all fear welcomed inside, depressed in alcohol & naked

I’ll fear only that which I’ve created, fever for mining for gold

I said only been overthinking our freedom goals

I’ll leave it, my arms are always open wide, in hurt I’ll bet it’ll right us to let it go

Four letters, deny we’re all fear welcomed inside, depressed in alcohol & naked

Oh feathery ones don’t stay hiding, I’ll reach for your findings so

Is it really so crazy to lie by your side, no

My first drumming hero 🥁❤️ Keep an eye out in the next few weeks for some drum interview clips that I will posting !
