The fly...

So there was this fly buzzing my ear while I was sitting here in the couch, don't ask who let the fly in, I have no idea. Anyways, I call my trusty fly swatter Cosmo Kitty. Impressively she shows up on location immediately, literally with in seconds ready to take action!




So I pointed to the fly, and said "fly!" "fly!!" look! Go get it!! She looked left, she looked right and then laid down and went to sleep....

Hitting the recording hard the past few weeks, getting lots done.

Saturday Morning

Having coffee.

Thought you should know that. Important stuff here!!

Practice tips!

Im out at the moment and thought I'd use the good ol' trusty iPhone for a blog entry. I just so happen to have it along with me and thought I'd write what was on my mind for a second or two.

Been playing a lot of guitar lately which has been nice. And for all you guitar players out there, a friendly reminder to stretch your hands/arms every once and a while, or better yet, before and after practice! Something I always forget to do but very important non the less. (I don't usually use the term "non the less" and thought i'd give it a try!) Anyway, I say this because I noticed it was difficult for me to stretch my arms out to the sides and tilt my hands towards the ceiling. As soon as I started to tilt my hade back I thought "wow, this isn't good maybe i need to stretch more" So! Don't follow my example, just follow my advice! That's it for now, gotta go.

Have a nice day.

Oh, If you don't play guitar or an instrument, disregard this post, you're fine.

Music thoughts

Working on a new song, well it's not that new as I've been kicking around the idea for a few years when I noodle on the guitar. You would think with that amount of time I'd have the entire arrangement done and then some but what happens as I start to record? I mess around with some keyboard sounds and hear something really cool and start writing something totally different to the song. Totally took on another form within a few min. As of now the piece is 8.5 min but am not sure If it will stay that length. Gonna try a few different arrangement ideas.

Seems to be a pattern, I've always gotten song ideas when playing around on the keyboard. However I'm writing most if not all the songs on the guitar for this album opposed to the past two albums where I wrote a lot of the songs on the keyboard. I feel it's giving everything a more guitar focused sound. Whatever that means... But you get the point right?

September

Can't believe September is knocking on my door already. I have no idea where the year has gone. Then again, don't we find ourselves saying that every year?

Anywho, wanted to check in and let you all know that I'm going to get back to blogging more and am considering a twitter page again. You know, so you can read what I'm up to from time to time, mostly me complaining about something haha. But hey! Life stuff you can relate to right? A lot has happened in the last year and just haven't had as much time as I'd like to blog, do flickr photos, twitter etc.. But it's time to get back to all that don't you think so? So, thanks for hanging in there and let's get back to action!!

I'm very excited about the new album and the direction it's headed in. Planning on a 2011 release. I'm very proud of the work I've done so far and am looking forward to finishing it up this fall.

In the mean time, feel free to check in and say hi or ask questions etc etc...
