Hey Q-Inspired! I want to share another music video with you and talk about how I made it. This track is called 'sinking under' and it was a collaboration with an incredibly talented local vocalist (Washington DC, USA) named Amanda Dove.
I actually started the track without the intention of having vocals on it. I recorded a bunch of water sounds in our bathtub (picture below, it's now taken over by baby bath gear!). This was a lot of fun, and my wife definitely thought it was weird that I filled the bathtub up to splash around and record it! But I got a bunch of really cool water sounds - which I was able to build most of a drum kit out of.
Amanda really ran with the water theme, and wrote lyrics that fit in perfectly. I hadn't worked with a vocalist in a very long time - so there was a lot of learning involved in the studio with layering and effect chains. I'm happy with how it turned out, but I'm definitely seeking to continue to improve my ability to process and mix vocals.
We had plans to make a full music video - but the track got pushed back and the arrival of my baby son Reed made getting together very difficult. So instead we did a remote 'making of' video idea instead. We thought that having blindfolds on for part of the video would bring a nice element to tie it back to the lyrics. Both of us didn't anticipate how difficult it would be to film ourselves in frame blindfolded! But after many re-shoots we made it work!
We hope you enjoy our track! We're already working on another collaboration :-)
Cheers,
Blaudiss

Dear @bertimismaximus, we need your help!
The Hivebuzz proposal already got important support from the community. However, it lost its funding a few days ago and only needs a few more HP to get funded again.
May we ask you to support it so our team can continue its work this year?
