I've done quite a lot of music making today.
It started off when I saw the latest music weeklies challenge on Twitter. It's also been adopted by Cosmic Bos for their own monthly challenge
This week's brief is Escape. I've not been that prolific at song writing for some time, but I wrote this in around an hour this morning. I then spent a good majority of the day recording various guitar, bass and vocals. As well as this I scored some drums within StaffPad. It has the makings of a good song. I could probably submit it as it is. Maybe I will.
I decided to give the monthly challenge a try. I figure if I write and record a song a month I'll have a new album by the end of the year. Although in my mind I probably won't release it that quickly. I'm really determined to make my next album really crisp, so I'm going to take my time recording, mixing and mastering to whole thing.
I also recorded some vocals for a secret project for the classical label Monochrome Motif Records
that released my orchestral suite last month. It's nice to give something back to the label manager Andrew who has shown a great deal of faith in music. I'm not particularly happy with the results of the recording. It could be they are just too high in my mix. I certainly need to tweak it a little before sending it across.
In theory I should have time to work on music again tomorrow, although what I'll do I don't know as yet.
