As Streets is Hot has evolved on stage to as much as a 7 piece monster inclusive of cello, saxophone, and a drum section, I think of the guitar melody I hummed for Vernon so long ago that started it. I can still hear some violins in there somewhere, but this beast is about to get out of control. So today I'm stripping it down to the basics in a view to arranging it finally to be recorded.
The last addition to my overall sound has been the cello and I've been feeling for it for quite some time. However the first few performances with Emi-Cello I felt the plucking getting drowned out and I don't feel like people been feeling that cello belly how I need. So yeah, basics! This is me listening to Cello and guitar interacting on the song together. I know what the drums and other percussion does - some serious drama. Had a few performances with Kamlah Hamilton on keys and shes the genius that helps me mix all the other ingredients together and ices that cake. Ahh, so we making music
