Shaking Through has created an interesting formula for looking at how a song comes together. Each year they offer 10 artists the challenge of recording one song in just 2 days, and today they have released their video profiling Ava Luna's production of "Water Duct".
Curated by Shaking Through alums Twin Sister, this episode takes an in depth look into how Ava Luna crafted and perfected a track that they had yet to record. While the challenge may have seemed daunting, frontman Carlos Hernandez approached it with confidence and reveled in the chance to experiment in such a way. Chronicling every facet of the production, the episode examined the difficulties of working in such a short time frame, but also managed to promote the creativity of Ava Luna for being able to complete the song.
"Water Duct" is a gripping track, with Hernandez's vocal inflection on display, as well as the soothing backing of Becca Kauffman and Felicia Douglass providing perfect layering. Ava Luna was lauded for their inventiveness and coolness under pressure by Shaking Through and the curators of the episode, and they came out of it with a unique new track.
Weathervane Music had provided the Raw Tracks from the session, and now they are including the Mix Stems, Drum Samples, and Track Sheets with all the recording info from the production. They are also offering the opportunity to share your work on Gearslutz.com.
Shaking Through is definitely a video series you want to keep your eye on. It offers not only the viewer a look at talented musicians, but also gives groups and bands the chance for their talent and ideas to be on display. Stay tuned for more episodes still to come!
