Collaboration

I recently had the opportunity to have some acoustic guitar parts put on one of my songs. It was done by a friend in the U.K. His name is Richard Jackson. He actually played the parts on his keyboard, but the samples sounded so good, I was compelled to ask for his help. He certainly did not disappoint. He created some rhythm patterns that brought a lot of enhancement to the song Streets of Gold, There will still be a sax part to be played on it, but Richard added a lot. It is amazing what we can do over the internet. As musicians, we have access to people from all over the world. The Demo of the song will be up in a few days on the player.

ATrip to the Studio

This last weekend, I went in to my favorite studio (Subcat, link at the bottom) to record a drum track for Andreas. It went well, although I found one of the microphone placements was a little distracting, but since I was only tracking one song I decided to leave it, rather than spend time having the engineer move it. Mic placement is everything when recording drums, and when you find the place that gives the best response, you go with it. I sent the tracks to Andreas and he is integrating them in to his song, it should be available at his link in a week or so. I had the studio to myself this time, which doesn't always happen, usually there are other artist's rapping up or getting ready, this always makes me nervous. I don't know why, but I figure these guy's will be far better than myself, and they are out there listening with a critical ear. Anyway, time to draw this one to a close.

A productive year.....2007

2007 was a crucial year for my project, I was able to find a guitar player who really understood what I was trying to do as well as a supporting keyboard player to do the more intricate things like the keyboard lead in Spectacle of Pride. I will be posting the links to the supporting artists and the studio where I have recorded. I recorded and rerecorded much of the project during 2007 using a Yamaha Motif that I borrowed from a friend. ( I currently have no keyboard of my own). What you will hear on the demo's is the results. I will post updates as the project moves forward.

Thanks for visiting and God bless
