We made a 5 track rock ep that spans from really heavy to really melodic. Jimmy Corbett has been someone Felipe Collazo (me) has been around in the local music scene for quite a while. We first got to know each other when are bands Maybrick and Monkey Knife Fight would share gigs. Since then Jimmy has also recorded some Monket Knife Fight records because he is an incredible sound engineer. So with his guitar skills, progamming and sequencing skills and sound engineering skills i knew it was a no brainer to reach out to him for this years challenge. Within 3 days he sent me 3 fully fleshed out tracks for me to write lyrics and melodies too. The last two Sundays were spent recording vocals and mixing and that was that. We made this project for the good of mankind.
So the first half of the month I was having a tough time coming up with lyrics and melodies and was heading over to record vocals with only one verse and chorus done. As I drove over to Jimmy's house a chorus just poured out of me then another and another. It's these moments that remind you the magic of making music.
Don't obsess on the deadline. There are no consequences if you don't finish so just let things flow without that being ever present in your mind.
