Adventure Thing #50 - "Oh The Places You'll Go" Chip Session (Patreon)

I can't believe we're at Adventure Thing #50! Given the fact that we missed a couple of weeks in there, we're actually slightly past the 1-year mark on this adventure, and still going strong.

I was actually just thinking to myself on Friday as we had a chip session that while we have a lot left to do, we've come so far and this album is really starting to shape up in ways that I love. For me, my favorite part of an album has always been the beginning, maybe just because I'm a songwriter so as I write the song I hear all the endless possibilities, and then as we actually bring the songs into reality we inevitably have to prune it down into concrete choices. 

That said, so many of the discoveries we've made at every stage of this process, from the bandscratches to these tracking sessions as things come together (and the chip sessions are much more free-form than the others since we can do a crazy amount) have made me really excited, so much so that I think this will be my favorite album we've made.

Now I'm rambling, but this video is from our chiptune session last week, I had laid in a bunch of game boy parts, and we were exploring some retro synth to layer into the first chorus of "Oh The Places You'll Go" - looking at old Prophet, Juno, and more sounds. 

Until next week, thank you as always for joining us a year into this crazy adventure!
