Hello Dear Listener, It is interesting how I produce a song. If you are listening to my new song Escher for the first time, or if you will be listening to it shortly (it will be released on 02 APR 21 as of this writing), please know that I myself have already listened to the song approximately 1 Million 700 fifty thousand and two times. I am joking, however, I have indeed listened to this song many, many times during both the crafting and mastering stages. This is the same pattern for all my songs and I suspect it is the same pattern for any music song writer and producer. My point is, since it is my song, I have a certain unconditional love for it, even if I think it will not necessarily be one of my best. In other words, I never really get sick of it. It is part of me somehow. Yes, perhaps I may have some form of pervasive, neurotic obsessive compulsive need to endlessly loop and tweak a song into oblivion but that is another matter : ). To wrap this Blog up: I just love creating music and appreciate that you are here joining me in my continued creation journey. Much Gratitude.

Cheers to You

Dave



Why is it called Escher? As with all my song's, it is usually a combination of the moment, the music arrangement and the sound particulars. Finally, the lyrics exactly or by some subtle vibe the atmosphere of the lyrics creates.

This song has a patch I found using my Omnisphere Synth called Escher's Staircase. So, obviously, that patch had something to do with it. However, the lyrics, though not actually having anything to do with Escher or his work, did contain a certain vibe that felt like someone wandering through an Escher like maze where one finds at every turn some Twilight Zone like mis-direction of where they actually thought they would end up. So that, in a nut shell, is how I landed on this song title. It just felt right to me after I had time to simmer in the stew of the lyrics and song for a bit post production. I often give my song's a "tracking" name as it develops but this often changes or morphs as production evolves and the song falls into its final tapestry.

Thanks and if you have any questions or comments let me know. The song is scheduled to release on 02 APR 21! Thank You for dropping by my Music Cave!
