Mix #02 - "Undone" by Needy Beast published on 2022-07-23T00:21:54Z It’s summer, a time when I’m usually wrangling a bunch of unfinished projects and feeling generally unfocused and lazy. So, for this mix, I wanted to celebrate some current favs that seem to luxuriate in a state of incompleteness. Maybe they only have one chord. Or their bassline never changes. Or they never switch to a B section-–let alone build to a climax. It’s like the artists landed on a fun kernel of a musical idea and asked “Why not make the whole song out of this?” I still don't have the guts to capture this spirit in my own music, but I’m working on snuffing out the try-hard voice in my head, the one that wants everything conventionally composed, mixed, and structured. As a form of exposure therapy, I included three less-than-finished demos of my own on the mix. They may contain choruses and bridges and all sorts of other cowardly acts, but I’m hoping they represent baby steps a little further out of my comfort zone.
