Recording update

Got to spend several hours this saturday laying down some drum, acoustic, and vocal tracks for Rotation, which is an upcoming song for my album this year (which I will finish). It has some spots for trumpet, flute, and violin parts (I’m still looking for some musicians to help me out in that regard). I’m [...]

My new site design

I built this site design from scratch. However, some of you may find that I am very clearly influenced by a certain blogger in the typography and color choices. I doubt he’ll ever see this site, but if he does then I hope he takes it as flattery. For what it’s worth, I coded it [...]

Ornaments: A Christmas Album

Ornaments is a Christmas album project dreamed up by my friend Jeremy Cordy. He approached me in early November 2009 with the idea of gathering the various musically talented friends we had to try to put together something beautiful. I couldnʼt be more pleased with the results. Comprised of almost entirely original songs, the project [...]

I’m still here!

Being a full-time working newly-wed with siblings-in-law and friends who are getting married has taken away from my time recording. Additionally, I do not have ready-access to my recording space as it is a half-hour commute in the opposite direction of my work’s half-hour commute! In spite of this, I had time to do a [...]

A quality “breakup” song

A musical colleague of mine who performs beneath the veil of a shifting team of collaborators known as Night Shall Eat These Girls And Boys has a song that immediately caught my ears. The song isn’t flashy, doesn’t sabotage nor reinvent any genres, nor does it have a mind-blowing production value in the humble recording [...]
