“Following The Sun” started out as a little sketch I was working on in Auxy on my iPhone. I was sitting on a park bench in Ghent, Belgium, on the last little side trip my wife and I would take while living in Europe. It was one of those perfect Spring nights, and the sunset lasted for hours it felt like. Definitely a feeling of closure in this song for me, putting one chapter of my life behind me and looking forward to the next.
The initial Auxy sketch I made was exported into Ableton Live 10, where I did all the arranging, editing, and mixing. On top of the core Auxy ideas, there’s bits and pieces of OB-6, Wavetable, and my acoustic guitar through the Timeline and HOF. Mixed entirely using Live 10’s plug-ins, mastering via DMG’s Equilibrium and Limitless.
