The end of the English summer is coming. Leaves are turning brown, and blackberries are covering bushes in the countryside. And, whilst the weather is lovely, It's been great to be in the studio and work on a new song. The new play is Water Chorus. Matt and I wrote this song a while ago. I was inspired by the river in Oxford the Isis, which is beautiful all year round. I was also inspired by the way that relationships ebb and flow, good times and bad times. And how love can be healing and good for the soul in the same ways that hanging out by the river is. Or I find it to be!
The production of this song has been a little different to my other songs, whilst it still has an acoustic feel, it's also got an ambient, watery vibe. Various plug ins to Logic Pro have helped create these effects. I've been inspired by both Bjork and Boards of Canada, in terms of the ambient nature of the song, and choice of subs.
The song will be mixed and mastered soon and I'm really excited to share it with you. Thanks for the support on Twitter, it's really been an awesome summer in many ways.
