Picked up an old song I started working on a while ago, and largely rearranged the parts. Its got a blocked MusicMan Axis guitar, the same guitar running through a pod pro for distortion and reverse […]

Tread (Song and Lyrics)

Tread: Written and Produced by Joel Stevens

(Press button to listen)
Had I the cloths
from the golden light
Or the blue dim from
day or night
I would spread them
under our feet
oh but,
I hear the feet coming near
the warring words, the lying lies
Had I the cloths,
I […]

Tread (Production Notes)

Posted by Joel on April 16th, 2007

Tread was my first attempt at an electronic song, and I’m pretty pleased with it. I listened to Radiohead and Thom Yorke’s Eraser album for six months or so while I was doing this. In any event, that’s why it has that sort of sound (at least hopefully, that was my intention). […]

Symphony (Song and Lyrics)

Symphony: By Charles Wagner and Joel Stevens

If I said I was a fool for you, would you laugh at me?

Symphony (Production Notes)

Posted by Joel on April 16th, 2007

This is a song written by Charles Wagner a while back. We basically took his song’s drums and reproduced them and started making the song anew.

It’s Love: By Charles Wagner and Joel Stevens

(Press button to listen)
Oh our kids are all grown up now,
we miss ‘em all the time
I love it when they call home,
the way it lights up your eyes
I still remember the day that […]

It’s Love (Production Notes)

Posted by Joel on April 16th, 2007

Charles wrote a country song (from the perspective of a 45 year old no less) that he thought might be sellable to a pop artist, and so we started producing it. It turned out ok, but probably is one of the songs I’m least proud of that’s listed. This could be because a) […]
