Vibes st 1 so far…
What a difference between the last time I collaborated with my mate and from today’s. We are both just as enthusiastic with a song I wrote on Vibes and it’s going to become a weekly or every two week couple of hours working on it.
It was more of a 50/50 collab where we worked on mine, I realised what I need to work on for next time and then worked on his project for just as long. It was less about me and more about the music in that sense which made everything so much more enjoyable. My mate had a great time too.
On his project it was more about recording sounds for layering and my creative ideas for what things to use around the house always seem to add to it and it inspired his ideas too like a perfect back and forth bounce of creativity that enhanced eachothers projects massively.
I need to definetly work on my performance as my songwriting is so much better currently but that two combined to high standard would be incredible and make the whole process 10x easier. It’s really just a case of undoing bad habits of practice and being more focused as a whole.
As I was walking home, I remember thinking ‘that was an incredibly healing experience for both of us’. and I always hated collaborating with people but I know that was just an attitude thing of being too closed off to the other persons ideas so to speak. It felt really open and natural. I also now feel that we’ll end up with two amazing tracks as we work on them more and more.
The plan is to grow into running St4 vibes next year and Genesis will really help bring the momentum I need and the energy.
and the cherry on top is that my friendships will grow really close now because of this shift and connecting over writing music together.
