For this Digital Media assignment, I teamed up with Mason Serna and brought in Santiago Tejada Castillo to help us record a cover of Nirvana\u2019s \u201cThe Man Who Sold the World.\u201d I\u2019d worked with Santi on a couple of past projects, so I already knew he\u2019d be a great fit for another freestyle-style recording session. As soon as I pitched the idea, he immediately knew what song he wanted to play. Once we got into the studio, everything came together smoothly, and I think Mr. Flo was impressed with how well Santi delivered once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santi is a guitarist at Mountain View High School who is inspired by bands like Nirvana, AC\/DC, and Pink Floyd. He has been self taught for years. His talent is hard to describe in words, so listening to his cover for this project is the best way to get a taste of what he has to offer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What made this project stand out from the ones we\u2019ve done earlier in junior year was the level of responsibility put on us. This time, we had to handle everything – recording, running the booth, controlling ProTools, and making sure we had bits of each take we liked. I\u2019ll admit, at first it was a bit overwhelming getting comfortable with all the controls and the setup, but after some trial and error we figured it out. Before we knew it, we wrapped up all the recording in about an hour. Check out our final product!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
