Back in the Studio
Recently, I connected with a local recording engineer and found myself back in the studio recording some new songs! I’m trying things a little differently this time around. My plan is to record one or two songs at a time over an extended period rather than writing all of the songs first and then hammering them out at once. I think this new approach will result in recordings that “breathe” a little bit more than my previous work has. My intentions are to change up the instrumentation every few tracks by inviting guest artists and bands to join me and develop this project as more of composition album than as a singer/songwriter album.
I’m also excited to release these new tracks ( just piano and vocals for now) for free download on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and on this website when the mixing is complete. There may or may not also be video included. A friend of mine filmed the session and I’ll have that up for free download as well, provided I don’t look like a huge dork. (I haven’t seen the footage yet.)
In other news, I’ve been discussing a collaboration between myself and the guitar/didge duo Steam City Riders. Mysterytrain, of course, is busy as always and has every weekend booked for the entire summer. Phew! I get tired just thinking about it. All in all, this is looking like it will be an exciting year for me.
