Keep Coming Home
(From Home)
feat. the Distantly Social Remote Orchestra
(^ that’s you. it’s featuring you.)
The Gist:
We’re making a Distantly Social Session for ‘Keep Coming Home’ and would like you to add an instrumental texture to the track. It doesn’t matter what instrument you use - there are a bunch of different ambient textural bits in the Fish Pond Fish version that can serve as inspiration, but we also want to hear your ideas.
One idea: You play the full song along with Harris. We might use the full thing. We also might not!
Another idea: You send us any amount of time of you droning/noodling in the key of Bb. We’ll arrange it into the track.
If you prefer to download harris’s reference video, you can do so HERE
Upload your video HERE
Important! A few things to keep in mind when making your videos at home:
The song is in the key of Bb (ya ya ya, the album version is in B, but we didn’t want certain instrumentalists to hate us for this project…)
Send us a vertical video of you playing any instrument along with Harris’s reference video
We recommend you capture your performance on a phone (if you know how to get fancier and want to, feel free)
If you’re playing the full song, start your recording when Harris snaps
Make sure to listen along to Harris’s reference video in headphones on a separate device so Harris’s audio doesn’t bleed into your recording
No singing the lyrics, please! Textural vocals (oo’s, aa’s) are great
Don’t worry if you hit a wrong note or anything, we’ll just be taking excerpts anyway based on how everything works together
We’ll need your submission by Sunday, May 9th
By sending us a video, you are granting Darlingside permission to include it in a video that will be published on social media, YouTube, etc.
