Home Studio - Open Source Song
by Matthew HiscockInspired by this post by Brave Radar - Help Complete This Song - over on the Indyish blog, we downloaded the original track by Jeff from The Desks, added beats, lyrics, guitar, harmonies, accordion and well, here you have it… (Risa Dickens on added vocals and lyrics, Bodega on the rest.)
Big thanks to Jeff for sharing the song - Such a cool idea!
haha this is great guys!! it’s a neat take on the song, soo different than jeff probably would have done. great work with the industrial beats and the whole ending with “i’m not gonna give up now” (nice singing risa!)
i like how your recording ties it back in to “home is where the home studio is”. curious what jeff will think…

me too super curious and nervous, frankly! i emailed him today! i think matt did a really nice job with the production and singing, and it’s so cool of jeff to have open sourced the song, this made it possible to just grab and play around and toss it back..

Absolutely Awesome! Very different to what I’d do (i.e. what I’d be capable of) but that’s what it’s all about. it sounds like a completely real song.
