I’ve just finished the initial Keyboard tracks for The Madness, which makes me extremely happy. I’m not really up to taking a break right now, so I’m going to work on a little studio project dealing with the keyboards for the song. I’m mainly going to play with sounds for the tracks, but I plan to record them as well when I’m done. I’m hoping to have at least 3 layers of sound, but knowing myself I’ll probably end up with no less than 5.

I’m planning to post the recording here on our site when I’m finished as well.

I got up very early this morning, and just started playing keyboard. Right from the start I was in Madness mode. I started playing random stuff as I heard it in my head, and just messing around with the main riff from the song. From there I adapted it over to a little something different. So far I’ve done this for each section I’ve worked on, and it’s working well.

I have finished the parts for the sectional Intros as well as the Pre-Verse and Verse. Since they are played the same when repeated, I can just copy those parts directly over to the repeats later in the song.

I’ve also got a basic idea for the Pre-Chorus, which I’m working on now. I don’t want to add that much to the Pre-Chorus though as I love it the way it is. The chorus will also be an easy section to write for, but I may wait until later today to work on it. By the end of the day I do plan to have at least through the Chorus finished, but I think I can have everything except a good solo backing finished with ease. The solo may just be a couple of chords here and there to let the guitars stand out more they way they should.

Update: I’ve just all of the keyboard parts up until the Guitar solo. I’ll pick up there when I start back working later today.
