God I love his recording lark. A side from getting into the studio next year with Chris Potter, I am half way through recording my Self Produced Debut Album. I never realised how easy it is to record. Well, not easy but all these producers make it look so hard. I am recording the brass, strings and drums in the next few weeks, it’s taking a little longer as I am playing all the instruments and have to teach myself how to play them first.
I am pondering with the idea of only recording brand new songs i’s writing at the moment. Instead of capturing my large back catalog just recording and writing on the spot. It seems to give me a more colourful sound.
Not sure though as don’t know if it’s a good idea to ignore the other 500 songs I have written over the past 15 years.
Well, anyway so far I have only recording brand new songs, in fact I have only recorded songs that before recording had never been played in one take before, and so far this is exciting me.
Just listening to Simon & Garfunkel “Bridge over troubled water” album. God its good, so eclectic.
Uh what else have I been doing recently? Oh yeah… I have joined a Rock n Roll Band as just a Singer. We sound huge and already have the record written. We are going into the studio from January 2010 to cut the record. We have some big things on the horizon.
I will tell you more very soon regarding that.
So there you have it, 16 years of trying to perfect my debut album and you’ll have 2/3 albums at once by march next year.
Sometimes its good to be completely on your own with everything.
Best,
