So here I am...I've been missing from the blogging world for quite a while. This is a reminder that I still exist. :)I've been working on writing new songs as well as recording videos and also straight audio recordings for new and old songs as well. I want to get a rough demo out in the next few months. One recorded with only a couple choice mics, a mixer, and garage band on my mac...it seems to be going fairly well so far, but not without minor glitches along the way, but that's to be expected. For example, I just recorded an entire song in which the sound quality is muddled - certainly not ideal. I think what happened is that I recently rearranged the room that my computer is in and the new set up lends itself to poor sound. I'll have to do a little more rearranging until the acoustics are more favorable. It's all hit or miss on that front seeing as I have no real training or experience in the physics of sound.
Now once I have this demo completed, what do I do with it!!!???? This is my age old problem. I know where I want to get with things but the steps always evade me and I either end up doing nothing while I decide what to do or making the completely wrong choices. This applies to my entire life actually, not just music...lol. but so be it. I'm trying to do better though. It's the thought that counts right? If not, the effort certainly does as far as I'm concerned.
Tentatively the song list for my demo is as follows:
Strangers in the Cage
Breaking Mine
Should Be Home
When I Was Young
Urgency
The Words to Say It
If I Made A Movie
Twice
He Cries
Blood on Our Hands
You Got Away
Again, I say this is tentative. Some of these songs don't even exist anywhere online at the moment, and even if they are, they're probably recorded in their baby stages so not quite in finished form. So perhaps in recording them, I could get them out into public properly for the first time or at least that is my hope. I'm shooting for sometime after the new year. Start it off with a bang so to speak :)
Oh, and also, before I forget, my excuse for being absent in the online community is that I haven't had internet access at home for a while and there are not too many convenient places for me to do my online work/play/etc. I'm trying to be more flexible and resilient to these changes but not having access at home is truly irritating to me. My life is really busy. My brain doesn't stop these days and I'm at my wits end emotionally, but then again, who isn't? So, I'll just get tough and roll with the punches. I'm certainly happy to see the comments and support on my youtube page :) it makes my day. everyday i check my mail and find a new message. keep them coming!
