Soundcheck is the ultimate bringer of ideas, cornucopia of riffy stuff unheard, and a pretty good situation to come up with something new! That’s when your musical defences are down, you’re just messing with an instrument without a plan or compass.

FEATHER FLOW came to me while doodling with a guitar: Playing E-major – adjusting the amp – playing A-major + a few notes here and there – adjusting the tone, reverb and so on – repeating the procedure until forgetting that you was supposed to look for a nice sound, not write a song.

Well, I’ll take it.

Also, the vibe and mood of the tune translated perfectly from my head into the tape. This is a pretty rare occasion. I usually hit very near the center, because it’s fun to leave some space for changing you mind during production. This time the path was unsurprising but pro.

I’ll take that 2.
