Gestures…almost there!

November 16th, 2008 | by alan

I’m wrapping up the 7th of 8 tunes for Gestures today. I’m really looking forward to getting out of my ‘recording brain’ and getting back to ‘writing brain’.

The track I’m recording today is called Balance…and it’s in 15/8 (for those of you who care) and it’s really, really hard to play.

Thankfully, the last cut on the recording is a techno piece…so these are the last acoustic instruments I’m recording for this project. After this I can escape the Bat-Cave (my wife has taken to calling my recording studio ‘the Bat-Cave‘, which I do like better than VSA Entertainment, though I think I may have difficultly securing the trademark on ‘the Bat-Cave‘…but who knows, if Batman wins their law suit anything is possible).

Here’s a teaser…the first track from Gestures: Faces

Gestures…almost finished.

October 18th, 2008 | by alan

I just printed the first rough draft of Gestures and put it on my iPod so I can hear how it flows, how the mixes are so far, etc. 4 of 8 tracks are completely finished, the others are missing final drum tracks. 2 tunes need guitar, and one track needs harmonica. I’m happy this recording is nearly finished. I’m really pleased with some of the tracks, and some of them are just good experiments. I’m looking forward to the recording’s release so I can write about each of the tunes more specifically on this blog.
