Lazy, day-on-the-porch, kind of feel today. Let me know what you think!
New to my Music Challenge? Here are the rules.
Archives For January 2013
I recorded this last night as I’ll be out most of the day today. I decided to get the old slide out. I think I need to do that more often.
No effects were used in this song an, except for the claps, all sounds were created on the guitar. It’s messy in part by design, and because it was done, start to finish, in 53 minutes. I don’t go into these challenges prepared. I just start the timer and see what happens. :0)
I started with one idea, and it turned into something else and I’m not too fond of the result. I really tried to force things to get finished in time. Trying to fit everything, mixing, writing, editing, finding sounds, etc. in an hour is not fun. I’m reminded, again, that I need to simplify to be done in an hour. Like that song I wrote a couple days ago for Bekah.
60 minutes. 12 tracks.
There’s some potential here, but, as I listen to my hour’s work, some of the electronic sounds I used bug me. I thought it might lead to something, but I should have let the song be more organic like it was in the intro. Oh, well. Some days are better than others.
Today came easier than I expected. I didn’t have to try very hard for this one. I’m thankful for that after yesterday!
After I wrote the music, words started to come to me. By the way, please pardon my vocal! I was going for a Sting-Style performance that wound up not turning out so hot. I didn’t’ have the time to re-record it, so here it is! Don’t you feel privileged?
