So, I'm posting a take of a dry drum track of one of our new songs called (for now anyway) "Talk You Down". I don't think anyone has heard this song as we have yet to play it live, so consider this a sneak peak. What you hear is a quick drum mix that has ...
Today hasn't gone as smootly as I would have liked. My Dunnett snare started acting up on me, but we finally managed to smack it into shape. I've got one more song to do tonight, which will make four today. I'm pretty happy with four-a-days for drums. The tracking should pick up ...
recording is an interesting animal. it sucks me in and sometimes i neglect to remember that there's a whole outside world which i've removed myself from, to go away and create. create something that others, in this outside world, will appreciate, understand and ultimately enjoy. so for that, i'm sorry. phone calls/emails/text messages/snail mail will ...
it's gorgeous outside - slightly cold and crisp, with lots of sun and a hazy sheen to the light. we got an early start this a.m., and mike is starting to see the finish line for drum tracking in the distance. here are mike & ben are working on getting just the right cymbal sounds for ...

the flakes are coming down ever so softly outside now. after being in the heat of texas and california, it's hard to get m body around the fact that yes, it is still on the edge of winter here. while on my morning walk with loki, we came across some bones by a little creek. ...
day one of drum tracking has gone extremely well. we're all psyched with how the drums are sounding, mike's knocked three songs out today already. downtime in the woods means lots of reading and tea. I've made myself a little keyboard nook, a place to think about extra parts/layers to songs...
