Studio Campfire Stories: ‘Tales From The Land Of Milk And Honey’ Edition – The Making Of ‘Until The Dawn (Milk And Honey Pt. 2)’

The music for "Until The Dawn" began with an agreed upon tempo and some drums Nic programmed that the two of us decided to just jam on for a little while. I think at that point, we really wanted to take our time with this one to ensure that it didn't have the same feel as everything else we had already made that week or during the previous session. We even posted a 15-second video I took of us doing just that. I was on the Rhodes and Nic on the Moog Voyager messing around with some ideas. Check the full version:

When it comes to recalling these stories, "my right hand man" AKA my voice memo is GOLDEN. Because of it, I'm able to remember that before this particular video was shot, what we had for the main groove was a simple two-chord piano progression. I have audio of me sitting on the Moog Little Phatty playing around with a bassline while the track was running in the background. Once again, I recorded it so that I wouldn't forget what the hell I was playing at the time. You'd be surprised at how often you forget how you've played something, especially after that "record" button has been hit. So to avoid having to go through the whole, "Ayo!! What did I play on that part again?!" I'll hit the record button on my phone and capture it just to be safe. Voice memo is undefeated!
