an idea returns: 'back to sleep' (Patreon)

hey guys. how you doing? a heavy week, needless to say. I hope you've had a chance to breathe - sending buckets of love to you all. :)

I've been trying to keep productive this week whilst staying engaged - a weird balance to strike, of course. I wanted to stay on track with writing whilst keeping up with the news, reading and reposting BLM resources, etc. I tried to limit my phone usage to mornings and evenings and turned it off during the day while I tried to make music. 

this was something I recorded today - I returned to an old idea (from last year's 'idea a day in the month of may'). it's called 'back to sleep' and I've always had a nice feeling when I thought about what this song could be - I imagine it now as a sleepy, quite lo-fi track, atmospheric and soothing. 

so here's a snippet of where I got to with it today - I used a chopped up kitchen sponge (pic attached)! to deaden the strings on my acoustic.. I didn't want them to sound twangy or ring out too much. I highly recommend the almighty sponge as a solution for this (or for placing in the same place on a bass if you're getting loads of fret buzz). 

how are you guys doing? og x
