Complex Snippet

Ok. I totally updated this. Mixed it down better, removed some stuff and tweaked the vocal blurb more. Not as bad.

Tony and I are working on this and bringing the sauce back. He popped in some great parts and the sound is a lot fuller now.
Im currently working on some lyrics and melodies for it. Still needs a lot of work tho...

Back to the snippets...

Ok, so I revisited the untitled snippet and started massaging it more. Working on some lyrics and vocal melody...

Lazy Playing...

Was trying to get my Steinway piano plugin to record with the sustain pedal on- no go. So I rigged it through my iPhone. :P

Vocal Snippet 01

2010-04-30T21:28:00.000-07:00

So I got a new mic. Its a Rode NT-1A and I gotta put it through its paces. Im just recording some snippets, testing vocal effects and process. Purely educational. This particular lyric is from a Prefab Sprout song "angel of love." Its late and my voice is dry- there I go making excuses already. :P

Color Theory Last Song Remix - Rearrangement

2010-04-11T22:52:00.001-07:00

So working with this a little, I wanted to create more of a build up before the groove.
I think I like this better. Do you? :)

Intrusive View - The Lost Years #1

2010-04-06T18:54:00.000-07:00

Heres an Old School Update. Heres a lost track I just found, I think it was around 1993. Sans vocals. This is part of an unfinished track entitled "Trivial" The vocals were never recorded. Maybe it can be rehashed? Its kinda dark and confused. Im not even sure what I was writing about at that time. hah! An old tasty morsel though.. :P

Lyrics:

my insides lie to me
always hurting falsely
they never lead me to believe
your eyes they shine on me
maybe sometimes trying to tell me what I have to be

but oh its really trivial
nothing you say matters anymore

Work in Progress...

Another snippet of a song I am working on. Currently futzing with and theme and vocal melodies to actually turn this into something.

Welcome!

2010-04-03T10:52:00.000-07:00

Ok. Well as some of you may or may not know, I have been "into" writing and composing music for some time- with breaks here and there to focus on art. I finally feel like Im at a place where I have a decent amount of creative freedom and ability. One of my life goals is to produce a complete "album" of different musical influences and collaborating with friends I have met along the way. Not trying to be a rock star here, Im just getting another one of my many projects started. So, with that said- enjoy. Feel free to give get involved in the community here and give feedback. ;) Thanks!

Anyway, since Im doing some catching up and learning new stuff, Im experimenting with music and software. Heres a work in progress. Its a remix of a song entitled "Last Song" written by Brian Hazard, aka Color Theory. Hes a long time friend, and has always helped me out in the music department. Take a listen...its just a snippet, but feedback is always welcome.
