Jon Bellion - The Making Of Guillotine (Behind The Scenes)

but I want to use kind of like disco we really rich like 70s live you drunk oh is your image I'm gonna be in between the pockets to get it really moving before he lays the basin right yoyoyo something how are you sure um the drums the has been labeled like 70s disco drums yeah did you guys get him last night yeah yeah I got okay cool MIDI mapping should should be in there so top-line guitars in any overt really the focal point of the whole rhythm of the course wouldn't be mark P just have him swimming through guys yeah I got cats and drums that are gonna offend you I need I needed a jam in baseline and I need you here soon or my life can't be complete I need your funk I need you your mega your mega righteousness right now can you can you come through in the next like 45 ya are asking a little bit okay I'm at a point in my career where I need I need collaboration to like keep me moving yeah you don't say the first three albums I'm all alone you know and every time I might be standing over the record being like oh it has to be this way it has to be that way but sometimes even with Markus like you know what usual bassline that you think would be dope here's the parameters I needed to swim you need that classic knock that I need and needs to move in an organic way but like maybe I'm just going to try to fit to what you do because I'll think of something different I have some drums drums so I was messing around with like like some corporations and some topics it wrote a little something whatever read on the piano has like melody ideas the standard there nothing's concrete but first I want attack this from Jerome section we're gonna find a way it kind of to meld the two worlds is a really pretty progression that we have within these drums trying to be drumming based logic to figure out a way one we're gonna bring anywhere and take it out but just the drums for now just do you Toolbar you are solid disgusting to the level just really really really far in there kick and snare conversating bass line but you [Music] [Music] the group is so lucky that almost wouldn't even watch distractive words I'm like even in the course that we were right to do when I was writing to yesterday I'm getting to a punch line and if the punch line can get to it before they'll hook actually drop let the hook be some scatting that's the hook this is problematic man that's this whole problem of a human being that is Marc Williams can you give me just like loop it yeah [Music] [Music] that sound that you guys made the joint open game plan yeah that that envelope that same release that same feel put yoga low and high octaves move are bold and scarcely sparsely so look on the one and then the rest just Chuck's opposing the baseline what what yay and falling between a pick and choose your spots though [Music] we preserve fruitiness you came up with on the guitar we're rolling right now okay see cuz that that first melody there first of all yep it's crazy against the does he dig sleep on me feel there's something in my heart just freaked that's sleep on me feel the rhythm in my chest just breathe that's a bit pattern that's gotta be better I will stay so there's something something rhymes with stay been going for that pre any cuz you tell me I'll take to my son there's bones in my song thing this balls in my paw his bones in my car I was in microwave bones and let them down that day there's bones in my closet then come down down that I don't ya that's such a nice melody anyway it was in my closet but in end of anyway but you there's bones in my closet but you hang stuff anyway building tomorrow all the chances that we could get to violinist and a cellist within maybe like half hour 45 minutes wow I could try playing for Billy Joel and killing killing shows and doing things but I think anything is possible okay Nick anything is possible I've just been calling like copious amounts of players and string players banjo players like just cuz know it's a it's a blessing to be in position to be able to jam with people so everything I do my new litmus test is if I can play it on the key while jamming with just a group of musicians and the song still sounds good - the sonic production grandeur you know all that stuff is great but when you get to the meat potatoes of the song if it still sounds great it's just crazy to think like if you would have told me two years ago I'd be like I need three string players we I want to play with them to make sure that these lyrics are good like to have that at my disposal is like it's just such a blessing so yeah I mean when they come in we'll sleep will see how how these lyrics bounce off in an actual jam setting with actual musicians being actually played like it's it's just a it's I'm so happy that I was able to do this for though for the whole album [Music] hello how's it going back John hi all right Alex great to meet you guys our video club figured I may be sure you guys are progressing very nice to me all of you thank you for coming in um so the part is you see is kind of just like suspended on a record just really trying to create some tension building into the end of that like section there so like you just want to make sure that we really create that tension with the dynamics and like swelling on those like suspended know it's like leading into that final chord swell for that last moment um sure but yeah so thank you all right I get cello first okay awesome I get all three strings together four five six seven eight nine ten and we little man fall classes okay awesome so if you guys look at your boxes you can control the volume of everything and it's all labeled [Music] if anything keep in mind the entire time you want to stay as low as possible as soft as possible so then that envy crescendo in the end of that section we can really just we can climax to the best of our ability stay there the whole time right when that measure wraps up you really want to give it give it give it a real swell go here we go one sleep on me I feel the rhythm in my chest just be but stay so the legend in your horrible fate the secrets you tell I'll say to my brain there's bones in my closet but you hang stuff anyway and if you have nightmares we will dance on Gobert know that you love love [Music] bumbum bumbum [Music] get down [Music] but um [Music] Oh [Music] like in the headphones like just the raw like untreated cone from the cello sounds so incredible that amazing house we're going to send it to you guys you get thing I'm thinking from bridge out traps folk or traps vocal feel really just is carrying out the rest of the record just really like an organic soulful tip to just drive the funk whole drive the point home of what's going on almost like dark sweet love song okay eighteen oh yeah secrets you tell me I'll take to my grave as bones in my closet but you hang stuff anyway when I lose my head okay Tim burton-esque [Music] [Music] [Music] what I'm doing right now is playing a session together for guillotine within Ableton because we have a chord in different studios I've written produced in different different programs for example you know John came up compete in logic but you know we came in started writing together all in our process with working with him as kind of ended up as a Ableton intensive project where most of the songs are dumped on here it doesn't matter if they come from Pro Tools or logic the record live or you know even started on here it's kind of become that process of collaboration were like delegate certain aspects of the production or certain aspects of mix or recording because we have kind of like different battle stations you know he might be off in another room writing something while I'm cleaning something up or sound designing or mixing you know just kind of coming up with ideas for for certain parts [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]

Yes! He is such a creative producer but the few acoustic songs he releases are incredible. I think there is a total of like 12 of Spotify.

9:00 of this video when he comes up with “there’s bones in my closet, but you hang stuff anyway” just gets me. Genius
