4:20am or so - the "No One" song by Alicia Keys came up in my Winamp shuffle and i had the urge to write to it.. mentioned that to Christina, who then challenged me to write on the spot the way i used to write all of my verses for compilations, in-studio. psssh.
4:45am or so - i've written my verse, and i actually like it a fair bit so, i think - fuck it, i'll just record it now just for kicks. loop the beat up, configure my recording equip again.. time to get to work, Christina's going out to work too.. haven't recorded in like 2 years, this should be interesting.
6:30am or so - first version is done, time to make minor changes in the lyrics & patterns to accentuate things.. re-record the verse in about 4-5 more takes.. i'm congested and my voice is "stuffy" to me.. i don't like it.
8:00am or so - voice is completely gone, as i was sick to begin with.. did other work for a bit..
10:00am - Christina's back, and i'm back to recording, only voiceovers left.. then i began the arduous task of mixing my vocals, gah.
12:00pm or so - basically done, time to master the track & send out previews to which DJs/musically-inclined people i can find on MSN.. haha. Christina loves it, surprise surprise - she's a good friend =) i leave the track for a bit to do other stuff..
3:30pm - re-mixed and re-mastered the entire track and i'm as happy with it as i could be at this point, where i'm a bit tired of listening to minor details that nobody else will notice.. finished song in the next post - took just less than 12 hrs, with lots of breaks and phone calls in between =)
later tonight? clubbing @ State Theatre with Cindy Lee and her girls.. sleep is for the weak haha.. til i pass out, that is ;)
