I'm currently in the process of recording an EP. The process being 1. Get better at guitar, 2. Learn to write songs, 3. Learn recording and production to a decent level, and 4. Put these together to write songs, play them good, record them, and polish them.

I'm at about 3., Which means it's time to start recording and cleaning up final versions of songs. I can see this thread isn't *crazy* busy, so I hope it won't be annoying if I start puking updates into it partially for my own sake.

I'll take that as a resounding "k"


Anyhow, here's what I've got so far, with my chosen songs and my initially-chosen order.

These aren't the final recordings, but the cleanest/most representative extant recordings of each of the tracks. So you'll be hearing a huge jumping-around in quality of playing, singing, recording, etc. At least, you would if you were listening to these, which you aren't. You're not even reading this, right now.

Working on my solo debut:

A synthesis of acoustic folk and electro-synth beats, [album] weaves narratives of place through time: the ephemeral lives of the dead and their disappeared dreams are juxtaposed with our own ephemeral present-day lives, against a backdrop of an historic rural New York State and a century of urban development. Common threads among the tracks are trees and forests; creeks and rivers; soil and clay; stone, bricks, and bones; and the grave.

I want to use acoustic instruments [guitar, piano] wherever I can, overlaid on synth beats, interspersed with mood-setting samples.

The piano and vocals of the anchor song I've worked on:

An earlier guitar and vocal version:

I have a lot to work on. There's four other songs to record and mix on top of this one. Mind if I keep the thread updated on my progress?
