Ok, not exactly a nightmare, but an idea, that comes to your not exactly right mind right after you start falling asleep.
It's easy:
- Try to fall asleep with 75% success, be very sleepy
- Yet have a short riff keep circling in your mind
- Don't be sure it's even an original one
- Decide nonetheless to capture the idea, since no idea should go to waste
- Without moving your sleeping mask, whip out your phone and open BandLab
- Sing that melody beautifully
- Play a proper piano accompaniment with three shaky fingers beautifully
- Admire your coordination for a second and fall asleep immediately
- Record that thing the next day
- Congratulations, now it exists
I'm THAT close to start thinking about considering trying live looping, because I made this whole thing on AUM/Loopy and it wasn't painful at all. However, while eliminating dead air on (oh yes) GarageBand afterwards, the samples started to surprisingly and annoyingly fall apart timing-wise. I don't know what caused it, but I should consider eliminating GarageBand altogether.
So, today's sensation is that late-night tiny idea that I'm pretty sure was inspired by some cheesy Russian 90's song from my subconscious.
Anyways, extra enjoy that actual recording bit from BandLab in the beginning.
