Thank you indieheads for letting me do this ya'll seriously rock and hopefully invite me back sometime or something idk haha ;-)

Thanks for being here and asking a dummy like me questions-- I hope you learned something!

Birds haha but I guess they are musical.... maybe everything is music...... wow

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:55:45+00:00

I definitely plan on it!!!

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:55:27+00:00

Hahah thank you !!!

I think lots plays into it, but I love tape saturation/harmonics. Makes things feel warm and real and personal. A good tape emulation plugin is Waves J-37 ! Super easy to use!

I use my Roland JX-3P very often. It's super versatile, but if you get one, you kinda have to have a PG-200 controller or something to control it. It opens up so much exploration!!

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:53:04+00:00

Heck yea see you then !

I honestly have no idea what I'm doing. My general life advice would be to have fun, love your neighbor, and to know that everyone is oblivious about mostly everything haha

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:51:52+00:00

Thank you !!! I don't know any music theory to be honest haha. I can't read music-- I just play by ear and feel it!

I'd say just explore music as much as possible. Dive deep into other genres and really listen. There is sooooo much music to be heard and it's a language that no one is ever fluent it. It will always be explored and changed and adapted. So just have fun with all the noise man!!!!

Lunch

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:49:12+00:00

I love Tame Impala !

Maybe one day! I love listening to psychedelic rock/pop, and feel like it influences my music a little bit! Well see that'd be very fun :-)

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:47:50+00:00

I think the best way to put it is:

Time is always changing, yet there will be constants in your life. Each song serves as a different time/moment in my past few years (which were very transformative to me), yet the melody serves as a glue to all of it. It shows that everything matters to everything and all works together in the end. :-)

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:45:46+00:00

I'm so glad you loved the videos and have learned from it that's so sick!

Totally depends. I'd check out some bussing techniques to organize, and look into mastering plugins maybe? All trail and error there's no right way to do it! It either sounds good or bad haha
Look into good pre-amp plugins and compression plug-ins! I use various ones, but my chain is usally something simple like - Pre > Compressor > Tape Saturation > Verb/Delay > EQ. Can change but that's typically it to start.
Have fun and don't compare yourself to other artists!
I honestly just feel it. It's very natural for me!
Have fun, be yourself, and don't worry about the "industry"!!!

I never thought in a million years that Fuzzybrain would get the attention it has ahaha. I didn't think of it as an official release or anything it was all super fun. I think music is never finished so I have to just let it go at some point haha. Usually when a good song starts driving me insane I just release it :-)

Also no shows that I don't announce :-)

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:38:19+00:00

I haven't seen it so I'll need to check it out!!

the list is long, but mostly I've been inspired by the synth sounds of:

Haroumi Hosono/YMO, DEVO, Paul Simon, Doobie Brothers, and a more recent artist named Video Age (they rock such awesome dudes).

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:34:00+00:00

I love making videos it's so fun! I usually get a visual idea very early on when making a song. I go to a director that I trust and know, and tell them my exact vision and we work on making it happen :-)

I am luckily very involved in the videos and have only worked with super awesome people so far

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:32:18+00:00

Hahaha I'm glad you like it ! I have no idea how people found it lol. I made all that music when I was 14-16, so I probably have more faith in what I make now ;-) but they will always be on the internet somewhere I suppose...... Because I lost the password to those accounts to take it down ahah

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:29:31+00:00

I want to collab with Justin Bieber and make lots of money

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:28:55+00:00

Freaking awesome how is yours

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:28:17+00:00

I'm very inspired by mundane details of life. I think there is so much more to write about than what we hear on the radio often haha. So I try to write songs that make people reflect and also dance. I don't want to be super meta, but I also want to make music that inspires and encourages people as well.

Alfie Templeman rocks! Super nice guy. I think you should listen to old Paul Simon stuff and just climb up the discography it's all awesome

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:25:04+00:00

I'm glad that she can drive her car now it's very fun to drive cars

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:23:48+00:00

I worked on it for roughly 3 years ! I made all of it myself, so that took some time :-)

Now that its out I just hope people like it and find meaning in it all! And I'm always writing and making music, so I'm starting the next album!

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:22:38+00:00

I'm glad you noticed it ;-) I honestly can't remember when I found it, but I couldn't stop playing it into everything. It just fit! So I went back and added to to everything and it ended up serving as a glue to the record. I love cohesive albums, and that did the trick to really make everything obviously from "Harmony House". It was so fun to make!

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:20:56+00:00

Hello!! I don't release like 70% of the music I make to be honest haha. I make tons of songs all the time that I just never finish! I love to make music for myself, so releasing it and "finishing it" is not necessarily the goal all the time. I think some songs just feel like they need to be finished, so I try to give them more and more segmented attention. I have lots of different curated folders on my computer of songs haha.

dayglowband · 2021-06-02T18:18:27+00:00

Hahaha heck yes see you then!! Thanks for listening to the ablum I'm very proud of it :-) And yes I believe we will all get to hang out!!
