My daughter Jekyll has joined a band. One thing that young bands struggle with is everyone's desire to play all the time. In this video, we study the song Pressman, by Primus. They are 3 guys (Les Claypool, Tim Alexander, Larry LaLonde) who are a brilliant example of a small band that makes clever use of instrumentation to generate endless ideas. I map the song out in Excel to show the unique features in the instrumentation and arrangement. #ExcelSongwriting #SongAnalysis #SongArrangement
