Some of my family are avid runners, and they took the role of lab rat for the functionality side of the project. I knew the tempo had to remain fairly steady throughout the 45 minutes, so the real task was to keep interesting.

I wanted to create something that evolved enough that the sound was constantly fresh and attractive, as if the runner were moving through a set of differing cities or landscapes- some bright, some dark, some funny, some creepy. There had to be a new element every 30 seconds or so (a new layer, a new drum pattern) as other elements faded into the distance. Basically, I had to keep the scenery shifting while maintaining the “push”. Setting this as my goal allowed me to dabble in some sounds that I had never tried before.

After the body of the music was mapped out, I was able to decorate the “scenes” with occasional vocals or chants that really helped to flesh out each landscape. I didn´t want to make traditional choruses or overly simple hooks, but I also didn´t want to go off on long vocal tangents that might be distracting. I ended up creating sporadic vocal sections, each with the characteristics of a chorus (a catchy pattern, a repeating phrase). But, I tried not to shy away from the “visual” aspects that I usually create with dense lyrical verses. I wanted to leave a trail of recognizable bits and pieces that the runner could save in his or her head throughout the course of the song as the orchestration grew and changed.

Be good to one another. Enjoy “All Day”.
