In my continuing journey to consolidate my recordings and refresh my setup, I discovered a few tracks that would lead up to the release of Meat Without Feet’s WPOP.
In 2010 I bought a Roland TD-4 powered electronic drum set and the Superior Drummer VST plugin in order to get some more freedom and flexibility recording and mixing drums. Before jumping right into a named project, I fooled around with playing and editing the midi drum tracks. I’m not sure what the original release plan was for these, or if there were ever any lyrics penned for them, but they’re not nearly as terrible as I expected when I opened up the long lost folders nearly five years after recording them.
After completing these tracks, I started work on WPOP proper. However, a few tracks of writing and recording later, I scrapped what I had and started over with the song that would become “Technology Approaches!” The unreleased and unfinished first version of WPOP will be detailed in an upcoming post.
Until then, enjoy the summer!
