COLLABORATION

Free Track Friday #9 is Michael Bublé - Sway.  This track started with Dave emailing Tom Anderson from a wedding saying “You need to arrange Sway right now.  k thx bye.”  After a great deal of confusion, Tom created a BEAST of an arrangement.  10 parts, splits in 9 of the 10 parts.  At least 3 people on each part with doubles.  Massive….simply massive.

Once we received the arrangement a Dropbox folder was created with the arrangement in pdf, midi, mus, and xml, a pro tools session, and various guide tracks.  A message was posted on the CASA Facebook group and we subsequently received tracks from Los Angeles, Singapore, Wisconsin, and Boston.  A week of tracking, a weekend of editing, and a few hours of mixing and out came Sway.  If nothing else, this track certainly proved that you should shoot for the stars.  We got our first choice soloist from Los Angeles and JO ETESON of the Swingle Singers.

We couldn’t be more excited about the collaboration and the people involved in this track.  It’s one thing to make music alone in front of a keyboard.  It’s a whole different story to make music with people from across the globe.  A big thank you to everyone involved and we hope to put out more of these very soon!
