I had my first music collaboration with my son when he was 3–he’s now 13! We both loved Daft Punk so I thought it might be fun to cover Voyager, from the legendary Discovery album. Voyager has a deep, soulful chord progression and I wanted to produce the song with just samples from toys and instruments in my son’s room. I did, however, bring in my electric bass and fretted the notes while Hudson picked and plucked the strings.
It turned out to be a really fun project. Hudson was a great sport and we had a lot of fun recording everything that made a sound in his room. We’ve continued our tradition of making music and videos together and I look forward to sharing more of our work here soon.
We hope you enjoy our ‘Playtime’ cover of Voyager!
