♫ ♫ ♫ Rain Talking ♫ ♫ ♫

One of the activities available during The 50/90 Challenge is the opportunity to do random collaborations, where a composer and lyricist are paired off at random to create something neither one of them would probably have come up with on their own. Recently I volunteered to write music as a random collaborator, and was assigned a set of lyrics by my friend, Australian songwriter John Nicholson.

I started off by choosing the St. John's Songwriter Acoustic style (_STJOHNS.STY) and filled in the chords as usual. Then I used the BIAB DAW plug-in to import the generated and rendered tracks into Logic Pro X. Finally I added the rain effect, celeste and vocals, and mixed and mastered them.

This was the result, and I think it came together pretty well. I hope you like it!
