It has been a while since we had a proper release round-up here, so let me pick the series back up with September. Starting with "Marshmallow Moon" by @Hvetter Hvetter. A beautifully played, melancholic track that grabbed me right away. https://open.spotify.com/track/0r5CLnJrHSPROhnHAbk4K8?si=17efd8a03fef4405 And I am proud to say that today I released "CRuSH" together with the great @Sebastian Henkelmann. https://open.spotify.com/track/3zM4rL71yDQNGbKyxO1o1v?si=dd6a558fc1424878 Since collaborations are always an interesting experience, I wanted to share a bit of how it came together: The core of the track is a four-chord loop that Sebastian sent me back in June. The very first version he sent was already perfect. The chord progression got me immediately, and so did that effortless groove of his. What I found harder was bringing variation into a static progression. My own songs usually follow a fairly classic scheme with verse, chorus and sometimes a middle eight. Being limited to four chords was a challenge, but it was also a good lesson, because all the variation had to come from melody, dynamics and layering instead. Sebastian then added some wonderful counter melodies, and after three rounds we were done. Props for the cover go to Sebastian as well. Feel free to add to the list if you put something out too 🎸
