Forthcoming Music Update

April 15th, 2009

What you should know

  • Working on some songs with Lee Bozeman still. (I really owe this more focus ASAP).
  • Stop Don’t Stop EP still in the works. Drums, Bass, Guitars are finished. Vocals and Aux Percussion still needed, plus any extra “spices” we will add.
  • I have also been tracking the new Michael Edwards LP for a couple of weeks.

New Michael Edwards LP you say?

Yes. Not news if you read this site. I am harvesting a couple of years of songs and also much new material into a good, juicy package. Hopefully it can be heard to be adding a few instruments to my repertoire as well as perhaps new kinds of songs. You’ll never find me recording 10 same-sounding-songs and boringly releasing it.

Music on the way, other happenings

March 11th, 2009

There are many projects on the horizon this year that I’m working on. All Things Bright & Beautiful has some upcoming songs, Dunvint’s debut LP is on the way, Stop Don’t Stop EP (“Some Kind Of Change”), and my forthcoming LP which has lots of post-apocalyptic scenarios and involves lakes and orchards and militias and orphans and more (but no, this won’t be like the Decemberists. I refuse to have barrow boys and chimbley sweeps and scurvy in my music). It might get tough to finish all of these projects in a timely fashion, because there are a ton of weddings this year, not to mention my own!

This is also the year where I shall cross the quarter-century mark. Perhaps I can raise a guinness glass in the air with some of my friends who I don’t get to see very often anymore. I would like that.

Godspeed to my brother who will be interviewed for a chance to be admitted to Columbia University in New York for a masters program in (correct me if I’m wrong) Fine Arts!

Well, I wanted to sit here and write something more but it’s almost 1AM and the words aren’t coming. I shall invite the muse to come along next time.

Lo-fi demo: Strong Like A Tree

February 19th, 2009

I’m continuing to write music every day I get a chance. This one is more lyrics-focused. I didn’t have my good mic around, so I did this one lo-fi with my laptop’s built-in mic.

Desperate times. Two soldiers come upon a wounded soldier near a lake.

Save It For The Melons demo

February 17th, 2009

Another new demo song! I’m REALLY excited about this one. Please enjoy:

A world of vigilantes and bandits. A husband warns his wife about traveling alone. But someone’s got to go out if they are to survive.

Something’s Not Quite Right demo

February 16th, 2009

In my quest to write a new song every day, this came out tonight. I plan to flesh it out and make it a part of the new album I’ll release this year.
