Song-a-Week #14 – SlumDog
Monday, April 6th, 2009So, I finally watched “Slumdog Millionaire” and was inspired to see if I could put together something Indian-y. This is what I get for watching movies.
Song-a-Week #13 – PTB
Monday, March 30th, 2009Speak and Spell is evil. That’s all I’m going to say.
Song-a-Week #12 – Plop
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009I worked on this one in Sea-Tac airport in Seattle on my MacBook while waiting for my flight back to Phoenix after a very tiring, very cold, very rainy, very overcast weekend. Read into that what you will. Oh, and would you like to hear all about the 16 year old girl who sat next [...]
Song-a-Week #11 – You’re Not The Bossa Me
Monday, March 16th, 2009Well, Tanager Audioworks has FINALLY released SongFrame for MacOS X. Needless to say, I’m going to be playing with it a lot, as I have promised Big Al I’d give him a software review for PSN. I just got Pro Tools 8, which is (so far) pretty amazing. This week, I’m experimenting with software more [...]
Song-a-Week #10 – Thursday
Thursday, March 5th, 2009This is another thing I wrote years ago, but I didn’t quite know what to do with it. Guess what? I still don’t know what to do with it. Other than record and upload it, that is. Which, as you can see/hear, I have done. There may be room for lyrics in there somewhere, but [...]
Song-a-Week #9 – Cognitive Dissidents
Monday, March 2nd, 2009Just a sketch again this time. This project is proving to be more and more difficult with each passing week. Life, and other projects, just keep getting in the way. If I don’t start using a more systematic (if not downright mechanical) process to accomplish this more methodically, I may fail. Another thing I’m learning [...]
Song-a-Week #8 – Winter Song
Monday, February 23rd, 2009Sorry to disappoint my throngs of fans, but I’m phoning this one in. This week was busy as hell, the weekend was jam-packed, I’m exhausted, very sore, and I have a headache. (Waaa, waaa, waaa.) But, since the “show” must go on, I’ve uploaded a quick snippet of something that has been stewing around in [...]
Song-a-Week #7 – President
Sunday, February 15th, 2009I wrote this one years ago. Since I just got a new Ibanez Exotic Wood EW20ZW Zebra Wood Acoustic Guitar [cough... sponsor... cough], I thought it was time to record it to test out how the new geetar sounded recorded. I have to do a bit of EQ tweaking, but otherwise, it’s pretty nice. I [...]
Song-a-Week #6 – First
Sunday, February 8th, 2009This is just a sketch I made while playing around with a new songwriting tool called SongFrame by Tanager Audioworks. So far, it’s pretty flexible and very interesting, but there are a LOT of bugs in the MacOS version. Once the full (hopefully bug-free) version comes out, I plan to do a product review. (This [...]
