Azazel

That's a LOT. Good luck with that 😂

Jordi S

Looks like the best kind of mess to me!

Ashley Evers

You make very exciting messes 😁

Brandy Franklin

That is a lot, but you are a musical genius, so it's gonna be amazing

Carol Franklin

Oh yea I think I know what this is 🤣

Tine

That is a BIG mess indeed. I love it. And in particular the 'AHHH Half' marker😂

Maria Moore

You always exceed expectations

Cyndra

With so many double-bips it must be spectacular!

Manasi Kane

You call it a mess and then when we hear it, it turns out anything but messy 😊 I’m going to take a WILD guess and say it’s going to sound excellent ! ❤️ can’t wait !

Leonie Frenkert-Ghazi

Yeah. What a mess for me! 🤔 But not for you! You will do something very nice with it, I am sure. And then it's a big pleasure 😀 for me!

Mona Iren Hugaas

Geoff; I've told you before, these pictures of the session is so confusing, all I see is colours and different inputs, but I have no doubt it will sound amazing. Looking forward to this as always. 🔥

Mikki Fullerton

"Strings", "piano", "intimate", and "concert grand" all have me happily intrigued... and all those bips must mean it's getting close to done? Maybe? We can hope? 🤞

Jeanette Pencz

I have no idea what I am looking at 😄 but it will be without any doubt amazing 😍😁 Can’t wait for it.

Ilona Dever

As long as you speak the language of the screen and translate it for us, I will somewhat patiently wait for something intimate.....

Karin Wolf

It WILL sound good. I promise... 🥰🤣

EMMA JONES

Wow! What a mess indeed! Can't wait! 😄 It sounds so good! It looks amazing! 💜

Debs Badger

I hope so too. There's no telling with you. 🤭

Jaezrar

Ooooh this looks intruiging! I can't say I know what it all means (unless I take some arrangement lessons) but I have no doubt in my mind that it will sound amazing! Your music always does ^^

Grace Files

I’m sure that it will sound amazing❤️

Rhonda Davey

It looks like there will be a full sound with lots of doubled vocals. Does that mean there will be a chorus of Geoffs?

Aaron

I bet it sounds fine! Your music is always great no matter how much of a “mess” it is. ❤️

Grand Nagus

Coming from you, Geoff, it can only be a beautiful mess. Looking forward to hearing it.

Janina

Then it's gonna be a good sounding mess 😀 I can't wait to get to listen to the mess 😊

Deb

Messy, yes. But also colorful and intriguing. Although the abbreviation for analog made me laugh way too hard for a Wednesday morning! 😹

Cloudy Skies

Rats! I thought I had it figured out but I don't see any mention of chainsaw sound ... 😝

Martina Kraft

Yeah that's a mess for me. I am pretty sure i will be as amazing as anything you do. Hope to see and hear more than one Geoff according to the inputs 🥰

Karen & Lauren

my ears (and heart, and brain, and...well, nevermind ) eagerly await the results of this glorious mess

Sarah Borzelli

The most wonderful kind of mess! 😊

Lora Bauder

I look forward to hearing this "mess"!

Amanda Nott

I bet you could find a way to make nails on a chalkboard sound good, so I'm guessing this mess is going to be awesome lol!

Marie DesJardin

It looks like colorful bonfires set by the locals to guide a plane home, like the French guiding in Lindy after he crossed the Atlantic

ChazyUK

Me too lol 😂 I did a double take 😆

Alyssa Daniels

I think my favorite abbreviation has to be “Lead…UGH” 😂

Filiz E

Oh yay!! I am excited🎉

Tara Williamson

Nothing messy about Geoff on a piano, can't wait!

ChazyUK

Well certain parts of it made me giggle 🤭 but I mean what actually is it 🤣 ? Never seen anything like this before being a newbie ish and not knowing anything about anything music making. Is it a software thing ? Gosh, totally lost but it will sound epic I’m sure ❤️

Sarah Borzelli

Hopefully this is the Christmas song you were working on last year, which you seemed to care a lot for.

Susan Aliffi aka fifi

But it’s a vewy, vewy pwetty mess! I think the puwpl parts are gonna sound the bestest!

Emma Yadkin

That's another fine mess you've gotten us into.

ChazyUK

Is there a tiny guitar 🎸 symbol there too ? My eyes lol 😂

ChazyUK

I was wondering about it being a Christmas song too, that would be lovely

Leigh D

But you have a way of making messes sound amazing 🥰

ChazyUK

We can but hope 🤞

ChazyUK

I can see a lot of snowflakes ❄️ in there helped by using a magnifier lol 😂 Come on Geoff we need a clue, just a small one 😀

Stephanie AKA Staples

I have zero doubt that you will make that mess into something incredible!!!

Jacky Friedman

Yes it is. But you'll figure it out. You always do 😉. Just like lights on a Christmas tree. They're a mess when you're putting them on but are beautiful and perfect when you're all done 🌲🎄

Angie Woollard

GOSH I love that you let us snoop around these DAW screenshots! Can’t wait to hear the final product!

Rahel

It looks like a rainbow! 🌈 I look forward to hearing this colorful melody.

Liz Dyson

Not sure what this is Geoff but I can see you've been really busy. keep on keepin on. And thanks for the priveledge of sharing all this with us all.

Ellen L Brownell

Not sure what it all means but the colors are so pretty.

Lady Payne

I'm glad you know what you're doing. I don't understand a bit of it.

DocSavage

Well, if we consider the image you posted as your “workspace”, then you are in very good company. Mark Twain and Albert Einstein were know for having messy workspaces. On another note, no pun intended, I am so glad I purchased your CD. The fidelity is magnificent, making listening to your songs so much richer and nuanced. Hope to be able to purchase more of your CDs in the future. Thanks for sharing your gifts and talents.

Eileen Parkman

Ahhh, but such a wonderful mess! Can't wait to hear it!

Randiskye

Same!🤣🤣I'm glad to be in such good "dirty old lady" company!

Tara Williamson

There's a "Bass" below "Concert Grand," but that could just be Geoff referring to himself. :)

Cynthia Ross

I know what parts made you giggle, I’m also that immature. 🤭 This is the software Geoff uses to “assemble” the song. If he uses a piano, it has a line here. If he uses a bass drum and a snare, they each get a line. Ect. Like, the song is a stone wall in the distance but here you are close enough to see the individual stones being laid in place. He’s done “tours” of the software before but I’m not sure which patreon it was on.

Tara Williamson

It's a screenshot of Geoff's newest arrangement on the music software he uses. He occasionally likes to tease us with them by removing anything that could easily identify the song. :)

ChazyUK

Haha 😛 and yes you are in the right club 😆😆🫣

Holly Whittle

I love Beat boxing and vocal and bass

ChazyUK

You pinched my face 😜🤣🤣🤣

Tara Williamson

I'd give this comment multiple likes if I could.

ChazyUK

Awww 🥰 thank you Cynthia, very kind of you to explain that to me. I’m very new to all this tech stuff. I can now, just about fathom the workings of my ring door cam 🤣🤣 phew that took some work let me tell you but i somehow got there. Oh and yep I never want to stop being immature haha 😜 I make my adult kids cringe and laugh daily 🤣🤣🤣🤣

ChazyUK

Thank you Tara for explaining to me, I appreciate it. He is a tease especially because I saw lots of snowflakes ❄️ and thought I was onto something 🤣 but I am probably way off the mark as they are probably just some kind of none Christmas related symbol 🤣

ChazyUK

Yep it could well be haha 😀

Tara Williamson

Could be a snowflake, could be an asterisk, and I'm sure Geoff is loving the speculation. :)

Kourtney Frantz

I would love for Geoff to put on a workshop/masterclass type video on his arranging…maybe make up a small original song and just show us from first thoughts/ideas to words, melodies, arranging, mixing and editing then the master. He’s just so freaking good at it!!🙌🏻❤️ I would love to be in Tommy’s world for a day…🥰

Agnes EvaR

As usual, I have no idea what it is, but I can't wait to hear it.

ChazyUK

Oh I bet he is 🤣 I’m still going with snowflakes but why are 2 missing I ask myself 🤣

ChazyUK

That is a fab idea, I would love to know the process in one video, right from inception to finished product 😊

Hunter

Ah - Organized Chaos.

Marie Galaxy

Of course it will sound good! Look at all the pretty colors! 😻💜💚

Cécile Roussey

If it turns out this is a song for Noel seen as we approach... it will be great and I’m sure that it will be rich... and I won’t be disappointed, I’ll like it I really look forward ^^

Jonna J

6/8 time, C Major, 90 BPM, Lots of string instruments? Tempo and key might be changed from original, but not sure about time. Thinking it could be Happy Xmas or Kiss from a Rose?

Scott Pearce

I’m sure there is someone out there that can look at this and figure out the song, I’m not that person

ChazyUK

Are you giving us a little clue there 🤣😊

Stacey V.

I can't say I understand all of it however I do understand some of it. You have put in quite a lot of work there Geoff. I will have to agree with DocSavage. They do say a messy desk is the sign of a genius or in this case a messy work space. I wonder though how many times you went back and rearranged you arrangement. I'm sure modern programing makes it easier. A lot less " trash can basket ball". Anyway I'm sure nomatter how it looks on paper it will sound absolutely fantastic once it's sung. Thank you .

Shirley B Karr

Clue that I've been spending too much time around my teen son and his buddies is that my first thought was that 36 through 42 look painful. 🤣 I'm confident you'll turn this organized chaos into a fabulous finished product, as usual. Thanks for showing us the flour, eggs, and sugar in the bowl on the way to making a cake!

Holly G

It's Geoffs all the way down!

Amanda Hovendon

I wish I knew what it says, but I can’t wait to hear the new song!

David Williford

It might sound better if you removed the "anal" parts. I don't think we need that. Jus' sayin'..... :-|

ANITA M WRIGHT

Know it is going to be good. Everything you do is awesome! Can't wait!

Druid

Look at all of those tracks there are at least 3 🤯 🤪

Lynn M

Geoff I have no doubt it will be a beautiful disaster 😉. I look forward to seeing what you have to offer.

Lulu Dumpling

Thank you for the sheer amount of work that goes into gifting us a few minutes of auditory heaven 🩵💙

Sue

And I thought the initial midi interface was mind numbing and hard on the eyes! I know your work will be so wonderful.

Suzy Bailey

I'm glad you know what that hot mess means. The only thing I know is that it's going to sound wonderful, no need to worry about that! Impatiently waiting thank you! 😊💜🇬🇧

Michele Hearns

Your hard work always pays off in musical deliciousness! Can't wait!

Diane Holland

So that’s what a hot mess looks like? I can’t wait to hear it.🤗🥰

Gudrun Hilber

🎶 Geoffy mess is always lovely and absolutely vital. 🤗

KorKnot

Oh goodie. Something I will never figure out or understand. lol Looking forward to finding out what it is. 😉

Ms Molly

Wow...this just shows me how out of touch I am with the tech of recording since *I* last recorded, over 20 yrs ago! Not that I had anything to do with it anyway, it was the sound guys. MAD respect for anyone who understands any of this! Now I REALLY feel old! LOL

Ms Molly

Oh, hear hear!!! It is absolutely mind-boggling! It reminds me how much simpler my life is of just singing, harmonizing, and blending in my very old-school a cappella world! I can't begin to comprehend worrying about the vast array of technology that goes into doing what they do!!! It's why they're the best!

Jonna J

It could be carol of the bells, if those markers on top hint to lyrics. Time signature and key also matches to some versions

Anikó Estók

Ah, so this is what it looks like when every single droplet of water/sound of a door creaking is in its place. Colorful and diverse, I’m curious to see the embodiment of this rainbow 🌈

Sarah Reach

I think I need to share the IA summary that Yahoo put above the Email notification of this post. "Geoff Castellucci's message on Patreon is difficult to read due to multiple newlines and lacks proper formatting. ~ Created by Yahoo Mail (Was this helpful?)" Roasted!

Debs Badger

I didn't think the DAW had lyric references. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jonna J

I started looking at those markers and realized maybe he is using them to remind himself which part of the song is where on the timeline, and what better way than first 2 words of lyrics on that bar

SunnyOutlook

Whatever Geoff does, it always sounds good. Looking forward to it!

Tema Krempley

Geoff, why do you do this to yourself? 150ish tracks? Oy! I can’t wait to hear this latest mess!

ChazyUK

I can figure out like T1/2 etc are, I'm getting better at this haha but anyone know what LORES are please ?

Find

All I want for Christmas is you???

Mike Stroyan

DIng Ding Ding - we have a winner ..... Dong

RichardSmetana

I like your work, Geoff! I can see how many work you have invested in this masterpiece, do you also think of doing backup? Just saying, i wish you the best!
