Music Production

 Today, I decided it was time to finally record the original composition I discussed into Ableton Live, the DAW I use. Because of the limited edition I have, I could only record up to 8 tracks, which kind of limited my production ability as I prefer to double track everything I record. I think it turned out really well and I even edited the first minute or so footage and put the track over it to see if it aligned tonally, and I personally think it worked great, but you can have a listen down below if you wish.

I'm contemplating adding something more to it in its reprise, because I'm planning on bringing the track back at the end of the short film after the climax where the wife is defeated. I think a good way to make it feel even more conclusive would be to add drums that don't overpower it but just drive it forward. For example, when the drums kick in at 3:30 of "Dimensions" by Arcade Fire. 

The song itself is beautiful and emotional but the drums coming in after building so well for the past few minutes feels so conclusive and impactful and I feel doing something similar in my track could work really well. I unfortunately don't have access to the materials necessary to play let alone record drums, but after reaching out to my friend Jacob, he said he would see what he could figure out. I'm still not 100 percent sure and I'd have to do the sight test after I edit everything, but exploring my options would prevent me from being too rabbit-holed into one specific tone I'm forced to end on.
