I do believe that the lead guitar (and lead guitar FX,) parts for songs 11 and 12 (Lonely Girl and Mother of Waters,) are now recorded. Still want to make sure they all fit together… but, I’m glad they are recorded. It’s still amazing to me how playing just one note can actually sound alright… at least, when it’s being used for rhythm.

DW Recording: Day 35
I think the recording is already partly done for the 17th song… but I still have to check. In the meantime, I just decided to get the rhythm guitar (and some, or all, of the lead guitar parts,) tonight for the 18th song (What is Left).
Still trying to aim for a more-human feel, or emotional quality, to the recording. I’m finding that it’s tougher than I thought to make something sound more relaxed (sloppy,) on purpose… while still making it fit with the tempo of the song.
Dream World: Chapter 3
Here’s the third chapter of the Dream World story…
DW Recording: Day 34
I think the rhythm guitar part for song number 16 (Drive Home) is recorded, now. It kind of sounds sloppy… but, the sloppiness ends up putting a more-human touch on it, I think. Too many of my “songs” have been far too robot-like for far too long.
Dream World: Chapter 2
Here’s the second chapter of the Dream World story…
DW Recording: Day 33
Recorded the rhythm guitar part for a song today, for the Dream World project. It’s getting easier…
Christmas Gift 2011
This post is a couple of days late… but, just wanted to say that the Christmas Gift for this year is finished and out on the Internet. As always, thank you for listening…! Here are some links on how to get the music… and the liner notes:
Workin’ on the Christmas Gift
I kind of just realized that it’s Christmas time. Last week. Not sure if I’m going to be happy with how the Christmas album turns out this year… (if it even gets finished,) but it’s getting there. Still have to record vocals for half the songs… in the next two days… and then get the arrangements and mixes all finished.
With these type of albums, I like to try to experiment a little… though they probably sound all the same to listeners. Just trying out different songwriting and arrangement techniques. Almost there…
Dream World: Chapter 1
It took a while in getting ready… but I think the first chapter of the Dream World music story is ready to be released. The story will probably be confusing… but, that’s part of the intrigue, I suppose. Thanks for listening~! Here goes nothing:
DW Recording: Day 32
This recording is taking forever… but, I think I got the vocals recorded for song number 14 (Muddy Ditch,) today. It’s scary to think about how much my voice has changed over the past two years. These songs were mostly written back then… and now, when I try to sing some of the parts… it’s just sad. I don’t really know why… other than age, I guess.
As far as actually getting the songs out… like I said on the main website, I’m hoping for a November release of Dream World: Part I. Still probably going to try releasing one song at a time (maybe one song a week,) so that I can get the songs out… but still be somewhat happy with how the final result comes out for each song.
