5:55 is track 2 from my new EP "The Lockdown Sessions". The inspiration for this came from listening to post-Britpop music such as Coldplay and Starsailor, where the main instruments tend to be acoustic, such as acoustic guitar and piano, but still with some prominent electric instruments. It was my first attempt at writing something in an odd meter, and to make it more interesting, the track modulates between 5/4 and 6/4 throughout, and this was also the basis for the name of the track (5/4 to 6/4, 5 to 6, 5:55).
This was probably the first time I actually bought an instrument for the purpose of using on a track, as I wanted a fretless bass sound if possible, and no-one I knew had one that I could borrow for recording with. I purchased a Fender Player Fretless Jazz Bass, and what you hear in this track is that bass without any additional setup or different strings, basically exactly as it came out of the box.
The piano in this track is the one set up at the Nirimba TAFE NSW campus, along with the mics used to record it. I love that I was able to make this EP extra live sounding with real drums and not recording to a click track, and the real grand piano makes it that much more organic sounding. The KRONOS piano sound is great, and I don't have anything to complain about with it, but even when you compare that level of piano modelling to a real miked grand piano, nothing really comes close.
