Fade by DrasticJo - Development 1

DrasticJo is the nom de plume of a certain Jody Schneider that we're working with over at Kilted Chaos - she's a singer songwriter with a killer second talent as a graphic artist (that's her artwork over there on the right)- you can check out her sounds and images at the DrasticJo website.

I've been playing with one of her tracks for the last month and have been looking to develop a piece that can accompany her recent acoustic version of Fade and I'm beginning to get somewhere:

I think I'll continue to work this up throughout the week and see where we get to - it would be nice to have it finished and up on Jo's site before I disappear off to Paris! Heh, heh, heh ;-)

Music Development: (Un)Drastic by Jody Schneider

I can feel the music wheels beginning to turn again – thank god!  Here’s a development of a song, (Un)Drastic  written by Jody Schneider. 

 

And here's the original version:

[audio:undrastic.mp3|titles=(Un)drastic|artists=Jody Schneider]

The song has this killer catchy lick – almost Coldplayesque (if there is such a word.) You can check out Jody on MySpace and soon on her new website

I’m still playing with string tones but I kinda dig the dueling aspect here as the two different instruments create their own harmonic tension.  More editing to do but you get an idea of where this is going.
