February, new side project album, Treeline, and the possible return of david bowie
February is upon us and, as some of
you know, its Record Production Month. The basic goal is to write
and record 10 songs or 35 minutes of music solely in the month of
February. Last year I had a go at it, but did start until the last
few days and only really got 6 songs written and 4 recorded, which
I suppose is a fail. This year I’m taking another swing at it, but
I’m starting at the beginning of the month and have recruited 2 of
my classmates to join in on the fun. We’ve got 3 songs written and,
given that today’s the 2nd, I think we’re in relatively good shape
. The group is yet to be named, but I’ll keep you posted.
Hmm what else, oh yes! There are a number of happenings being spoken about on the interweb that could lead one to believe that Mr.Bowie will actually be making a go of it this year. I am currently in the hopeful mindset that Tony Visconti is recording a record for him right now (check out his twitter account). There’s a ton of stuff online if you look around.
The recordings I’m doing for treeline have been turning out quite well. While I haven’t done any proper mixes of the tracks yet, I have been experimenting with a Michael Brauer inspired mix method that is quite challenging and quite powerful. If it works out the aural payoff is definitely worth it.
As far as whats going on with The New Weather Machine, I still working on new songs and sounds. The other day I got a couple of new pieces of gear that are going to have a pretty significant influence on said sounds in very positive way. Especially if you like 1964-1968 british invasion music. hoorah!
