The creative process behind @denisonwitmer’s

The creative process behind @denisonwitmer’s “Which Way” continues to unfold. Today we’re highlighting Andy Park’s distinctive take on the track and the artistic vision that shaped his approach.

“Andy Park and I added strings and natural drums as a way to pull the song back toward the other songs on the album, but months later, Sufjan removed most of that and pushed things even further toward an electronic and drum-sample heavy version. In the end, I had two versions of the song that I loved.”

When @denisonwitmer and @sufjan collaborate, magic happens. Today we’re spotlighting Sufjan’s remix of “Which Way” and the creative journey that brought it to life.

“I originally wrote ‘Which Way’ in 2020 as part of my Uncle Denny songwriting project – I wrote a song a day for a month and recorded them using a single microphone,” stated Witmer. “Sufjan and I kept coming back to this song because of its simple lyric and repetitive vibe. The song is about the overwhelming feeling of indecision – a feeling echoed in the recording process for the final version. When Sufjan and I started arranging ‘Which Way,’ things went in an electronic direction, which was quite different for me.”

The track went from a simple one-mic demo to a full electronic arrangement, maintaining the core theme throughout the creative process.

@denisonwitmer just released two different version

@denisonwitmer just released two different versions of his new song “Which Way”, out today on Asthmatic Kitty Records. Originally captured during the recording sessions of his latest album ‘Anything At All,’ the A-side/B-side tracks feature one version remixed by @sufjan and one remixed by @andyrecording.

“I originally wrote ‘Which Way’ in 2020 as part of my Uncle Denny songwriting project – I wrote a song a day for a month and recorded them using a single microphone,” stated Witmer. “Sufjan and I kept coming back to this song because of its simple lyric and repetitive vibe.

@angelodeaugustine’s second album “Swim Ins

@angelodeaugustine’s second album “Swim Inside the Moon” was released 8 years ago today! 🌙

“I noticed that when you sing off a reflective surface you hear two voices. I was compelled to isolate that voice and bring it more to the front of the songs because in many ways I feel more connected to and comforted by that voice following me,” says Angelo, who recorded all of this record in his bathtub using a reel-to-reel machine and a single Shure SM57 microphone.

Swipe for music video clips from “Haze,” “Truly Gone,” and “Crazy, Stoned and Gone” + stream ‘Swim Inside the Moon’ (link in bio.)
