Progress, schemes and dreams

So work on writing for my project has been progressing nicely. I've got most of my album done being written, just trying to crack the last two songs for it and go back and refine what I've written so far. It's always funny to me how the process of creating songs from scratch feels like cutting and pasting a collage of ideas and mashing it flat and trimming off the dangling bits until you have something that resembles a well thought out piece of work. 

EyeJay has been helpful and patiently letting me use his brain to help produce the demos out so I have a good foundation to teach someone drums to and then record at eagle audio some time in august. I'm pretty much doing the whole thing on my own cause it's easier than finding session musicians but I can't play drums and I'm trying to get a little string section together to perform on one of the songs. 

Lots of planning and doing coming up, the not so fun aspects of creativity. I'm looking forward to having the project in my hand to be able to give to people especially since I've seen the art development so far and it's looking pretty good if I say so. Justin Kiehl killing it as usual. And that is it for my update!

we are always under construction

Alright, well it's been a long time since I posted anything here and I recently was invited to get to try google + so I figure since this is a little more visible through that at least, I should come in and dust things off.  Some things have changed, others haven't but you probably didn't even notice anyways, did you. All my hard work and effort gone to waste...

Okay so the last thing I worked on was another project for Dru B Shinin' who you may or may not know - if not, get to know him here and listen to his latest EP The Clean Up!  I play pretty much all the guitars you hear and co-produced while up and coming super producer Eyejay arranged everything and made all of our ideas into actual songs that a person can rap over.  I co-wrote and produced Just Got Home for which I also added vocals  as well.  I hope you like it, to me the album is a great collection of songs to listen to especially on a summer day but it could inspire you on a winter one too.  I'm proud of the end result!

Most of the recording for the album was done at Eagle Audio Recording and if you live around fort worth and scrape together the money to record a project of your own, take advantage of the friendly people there and the ridiculously awesome facilities they have.  Jeff, the engineer there makes it his job to help you sound as good as you can.

Let's see, other than that, I am working on a solo project in my spare time that I intend to get recorded in the next month or so and my Midi McFly work almost never stops.  So get at us if you need a track or a song or any guidance with a project your working on!
