It's been a fast start to the new year! I've spent
more time on music lately than I have in quite a
while. I've really focussed on getting the next Zeyer
album out. I haven't been writing too much, but I
have been working on recording and mixing a lot.
Stephanie and I have been tweaking lyrics and working
on arrangements. Some of the some have come a long
way and are really sounding great. I made a test CD -
a state of the union of everything under
consideration for the album that's in some state of
recording. 18 songs. And Stephanie has several that
haven't been recorded in any form. I think when we
pick the best songs for the album, we're going to
have a lot to choose from, and I'm really excited
about how things are turning out.
I've also been doing a bit of solo acoustic stuff - working on songs like "The Times They Are A-Changin" and "Let Me Love You." If we end up getting another car this year I'll be able to make it to more open mics, and perhaps start gigging again. But my priority is definitely to get the CD done.
I've also picked back up a book Stephanie bought me many years ago but never got very far into: Behind the Glass. It's a series of interviews with some of the best, most creative and most influential producers and engineers in music. They give tons of little tips and tricks, as well as insight into their thought process. Anyone interested in recording music should read this. It's fantastic.
