Music news…

// January 11th, 2009 // My Music

Music for me is an “on and off” thing… I may write the lyrics to a song for 3 weeks straight and then shelve it for a month before looking at it again. The result is a song that has survived several revisions of both lyrics, meter, and music. One of the great things about working this way is that I really do not get tired of the song too quickly because I only work on it infrequently instead of beating it to death 11 different ways.

I know I talked about finishing writing a song “Collin’s Song” well that was revision 2 of the lyrics. The music is still a few weeks off. I picked it up today and fiddled around with a few licks and some backing stuff but just felt like I was pushing too hard. so I saved my work and put it away until I am inspired once again to pick it up.

But tonight!… I picked up the remix of “Breathe” and wow.. it is really coming along! Breathe is probably my most polished song and is pretty much ready for mixing and mastering. The original “Breathe” track from the Exiztance EP was for all practical purposes a bootleg track. I got several comments about vocals not being clear and other things. So I went back to the drawing board and learned a bit about mixing and finally decided that I needed professional help. Since my biggest problem with music is financing I am planning to release singles one at a time instead of an entire album, This will allow me to release a song or two every few months based on my financial ability.

Anyways! “Breathe” is in the final stages, “Roar” is about halfway done, “A Moment” is probably a third done. and several others, including “Collin’s Song” are Lyrics only /w some basic music.

I really got into the production of “Breathe” once I decided to remix it. The remix features some very serious orchestral backing that really launches it to a new level… The problem is taming the beast! with over 50 separate tracks the mixdown will be pure agony! but I think once it is done all the blood sweat and tears will be worth it!

I tend to be a very harsh critic of my own work but somehow these songs that I have written recently have me very excited and hoping that they just might be good enough to catch the ear of the general public and actually be popular.

who knows.. anyways… that’s the news!
