Members oldgitplayer Posted November 4, 2013 Members Share Posted November 4, 2013 Kitchens seem to be appearing in this forum on a regular basis. Are songwriting and kitchens connected? Osmosis, Symbiosis? In the goodolddays demos were done into a cassette recorder at the kitchen table alongside the teapot and a half-eaten sandwich. Are dirty dishes in the sink the missing ingredient in the modern DAW- driven song?

Members rhino55 Posted November 4, 2013 Members Share Posted November 4, 2013 I do most of my demos in the kitchen. It is not a new kitchen and I have no desire to make any upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love knowing that. There's nothing better than writing a song in the kitchen... Townes wrote a lot of songs in the kitchen of whoever's house he was crashing at...

Members blue2blue Posted November 5, 2013 Members Share Posted November 5, 2013 I've jammed in a lot of kitchens over the years. The semi-gloss paint often in them makes for a nice, lively sound. Most of the places I've lived had small kitchens; too small for a table in all but two cases or so. But I often have ended up playing and writing at various dining room tables (except one shoe box apartment where there was no room for a table anywhere (maybe a folding table you could open when the hide-a-bed was closed).One of my 3DW pals taught for a few years in Madagascar. He got to know the local musicians and let them know they could come over to his place and hang out and jam after they got off their hotel gigs. He recorded a lot of the jams on a little DAT recorder he took with him and I heard a fair bit of it -- it was really, really amazing stuff. (Sadly, someone broke into the little house he then had in Santa Monica and stole the recorder and all the tapes. A huge loss, particularly since if they even figured out how it worked, they probably recorded heavy metal or rap over it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
