The Raingutter Sonata



This piece is pretty near completion. I may fix my singing to not be dual voice, and I may work on a few proper bridges, but it may as well be a final song on an album. Thanks to the Dalton family for putting their guitar (Luke) and their voice (Hayley) into it.

ride that new wave

let's get a fresh scent wafting on these breeze. this be a teaser promo for the new song tentatively named dream ninja or wizard power? my mic is lent out for another day plus i ain't no lyrics at this point, so the ice block sound effect is filling in the vocals section and the piano is feeling like itself again. if your name is kevin walker or you just don't like to be teased, then don't click the houndbite.

Luke, here's the one song that I am so sick of hearing and working with. Also, I figured something out about the way drum loops work on garageband—and it basically means that there are more drum tracks available than I thought, except that we recorded it at too fast a tempo to use them. I guess I've learned relatively a lot about recording in 2008, sorry that it has come at the expense of my brother and my dad.

update B4 march







Mostly to Luke:
Last recording weekend was good, but mostly in the way that it helped me learn some new rules and regs for recording so that future sessions can be more productive. I will hopefully get a new version of Less Than Love, or 4-Slyce never had it so nice, up soon. I definitely think I have some good keyboard flair coming on for it.

As for Tonight at Craig's. I must admit I think I like the song without guitar. Once I get Hayee to sing the girl part I'll see. The guitar seemed to work well with the singing but I didn't like how it went with the song as a whole. That gave me the idea that it would be cool to have two versions of the song (keyboard and guitar). So you should think about having a version that is just guitar (and fake drums) with you singing. I think that would be cool, since the guitar vs. the keyboard is pretty starkly different. What do you think about that idea?

I'll post some audio soonish for you to base opinions on.

The Les Victim March



Another take on an old song. I've gotta say, it's not my favorite version. But it's progress in the sense that it gets me closer to the sequencing that I would like to call final.
