It's been over three weeks now that I've been away from the studio, and I'm ready for some creative time. Right now, it's a balancing act between "paying-the-bills" work and "what-I-really-want-to-be-doing" work. Unfortunately, in the last couple of weeks, it's been a whole lot of option 1 and absolutely none of option 2. All of that to say I'm feeling a little bit imbalaced, a little bit irritable, and more than a little bit excited to get back at it.
Next week, three major things to look forward to:
1) All of my vocals will finally be done. It's been a long process, but it's worth it in the end. So far, with only two tracks left to record, I'm quite delighted with the results.
2) My amazing and talented brother Alan Medri will be coming into the studio to add some cello tracks. Seriously, if the cello ends up sounding as good as the violin tracks already do, I will shed tears of happy delight. I can't wait.
3) The much-in-demand Jason Pierce will be recording the last five drum tracks on the album. These songs need to be hard-hitting and dramatic. This is the guy to do it.
I keep alluding to the fact that I need to tell the story of this record, and it's fitting that next weekend will be one full year since the story began. Next week, then, in a several-part series, I will explain the ins and outs of this crazy adventure I've been on.
Today, the mission is to design the MySpace music page that has been in existence and completely devoid of graphics and music for well over a year. Off I go this afternoon to Ben Pelchat, producer extraordinaire and excellent graphics designer as well, for help.
I'll post the link once it's all up and ready to go.
Fingers crossed!
