Tenacity

I am very glad to present you this song: Tenacity. It is one of the songs that I would like to continue playing over and over because I really put a good effort into it. It may be surprising for you because it actually took me about 9 hours to be completed and this was also because it was my first completly recorded song. It is intersting to consider that there are songs that can seem easy to play but there others that are just extremely difficult! Tenacity is not that hard to play except for the solo parts. But recording it that day, that was another story.

                                   

I needed a long time alone with my instruments and laptop which is now kind of broken. The one that was more complex to use was my guitar for this song because there were some distortion changes and different effects in the pedal for most of the different segments. Thanks to the Lord I made it at the end, and you can imagine that as for the 8th hour I naturally felt very tired but with that need to "just finish it". 

Always keep the Holy Spirit burning!

I enjoyed the process tough it was something that inspired me during the go and I can remember that during that day I didn't really eat that much, better be careful next time so I can actually produce songs! 

For the bass parts that was not that difficult because the bass lines were indeed similar to the guitar ones except for the bass solo which was mainly an improvization. 

there are plenty of keyboard effects along the song. some of them as you can notice are syntehizrs that I used for the solo parts, I love synthetizer solos! There are some church organ parts in the arabic sounding part.

As for the background effects at the beginning that sound very "misty" I decided to use a little saturation of them by adding keyboard pads, a phaser and my guitar reverb effects plus another reverb effect while editing in audacity. Yes, this was done in audacity. I like working with different tools like FL studio but the simpler, the better. 

This is for today and stay in touch with the blog and the good music, you can get this track in bandcamp of course!
