You make it sound so dirty.
No, I'm not involved in the production side at all. I'm just playing keyboards. It's one of those deals where I play a tasteful part that is musically appropriate and sonically interesting, the production team decides they hate it, they force me to go back in the room to play a steaming hot bowl of notemeal, big crashing chords and riffs, fast scales and stupid solos.
And then, after 10 or 20 rounds of that, we go back and listen to the very first pass, the one I played after carefully listening to the song and choosing a part to fit it, and more of then than not, we use that one.
But, I'm paid by the hour, and sometimes you have to go through 20 wrong answers before you realize that the right answer is actually right.
@Clod - this girl just signed with Sony-Japan, and apparently one of the early-release singles is being used as the theme song for an anime show? I'm fuzzy on the details.
