Cue of the Week: “The First Wave”

A raucous, guitar-and-drums based action cue. No fancy thematic development here; this one just starts at a run and keeps going. Guitar courtesy of sublime axe-wielder Tom Strahle.

“It was a really relaxing and refreshing departure to work on someone else’s lyrics and composition for a change – in someone else’s studio, with someone else mixing it all down. No buttons to push, no meters to watch, no finger to lift on an instrument. Offering vocals to it felt a bit like contributing eggs to the batter: a small, messy contribution that’s simply pulling together all the more important elements. Thankfully, Mike knew just how to bake the dynamics. In my hands, I would have set off the fire alarm, for sure. ;)”
