about

guatecoop: Last year was tough for everyone, but we didn't get to spend any time together during FAWM, which was terrible. This year we are making up for that and loving every second, as my brother is spending a few days here. We started this song recording the bass and drums live (with only a scant plan) and then built the song from there. We've added all sorts of things until we felt like it was complete--literally taking turns on instruments and tracks. The idea was to make sure that the rhythm section held it down and we would make use of space, dynamics, and timing. We have both played a ton of parts on this song, so you get a pretty great idea of how we think independently and together-though he played bass and I played drums together on a complete 2 track base (well, maybe 9 for the mics and DI). We do feel comfortable enough to let each other play, but also can make suggestions, as well as reject those suggestions.....AHAHA. Super fun and much more to come.

ZeCoop: It is ALWAYS a highlight when we get together for FAWM, and last year was certainly a bummer. When I got here this weekend, Rob already had an idea for a simple song with repetitive bass and drum parts that we could build off of... We jammed a little... and immediately went off the rails. I mean the song doesn't necessarily have a complex base, but it isn't the same part like we thought. We just kept coming up with ideas, which is always fun. So we recorded the bass and drum live, with me kind of directing into the various sections we had come up with - and had a six minute long song. We were up until 3:30am last night and then spent all of our time after dinner today on it again. It's been so much fun. We write a play so differently in some ways but they come together to make something unique. Brother Collabs are one of the best things!

ZeCoop Kalamazoo, Michigan

I love playing music and keep learning new instruments. My songs are in a wide range of styles, from indie-rock to surf, to folk to rock to electronic... I never know. I record at home in a studio I put together in a spare room. I work (via the web) with a lot of vocal/lyric collaborators from all over the world.
