Old School Tools

rack1.jpgThis week I’ve been writing music a documentary at night and I’ve been utilizing a lot of the old gear in the rack. I have to say it sounds great. My idea for the score was to start with organic sounds, guitar, drums, mandolin and a bunch of other instruments and mess with them to create a rich soundscape. I’ve been running the sounds through various pieces of gear in the rack, from ratty old guitar pedals to tube eqs and pre-amps and am getting some very interesting sounds. It’s easy to forget how good all this old stuff sounds. There’s another dimension to it. We should be finished the track for the trailer this weekend if all goes well. It’s been hard to find time for this project as we’ve been busy but I’m trying to squeeze in every second I can.
