FAMW! RAWR!!!

February Album Writing Month is in the offing!

14 songs in 28 days - sounds hard, right? Due to time constraints associated with the ongoing edit of my entry for the last NaNoWriMo, I've decided to do an instrumental album; sort of a concept deal.

The rough concept I have in mind right now is that it will be a soundtrack that follows an alien spaceship marooned on a strange planet. Sounds weird and/or stupid, I know, but I think I can make it work - I've already got three or four songs outlined in my head.

I'll be (trying) to upload them to the player in my sidebar on a (semi-) regular basis. Wish me luck!

New Music Monday - Jazz Trip

I'm not going to lie - today's song is an unmitigated failure. Just does not work. A hot mess. Sorry, but not every experiment can work out right.

I was going for a weird jazzy trippy number. Not sure what actually happened, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't stand a chance in front of Obama's Death Panel, which, by the way, would be a good band name.

NewMusic Moday - Rule of 3

Well, it took me all of about an hour and a half to throw this together...typical busy Summer weekend. AS with all my recent posts, there are no vox yet; that will be added in Fall, when I have the house back to myself and don't have to worry about near-constant interruptions.

Anyhoo...here ya go!

New Music Moday - Another 7 Deadly Dwarves track

Well, there's another weekend gone. Sad, true, but at least there's New Music Monday!

This Monday's offering is another track from the project I'm currently working on (on and off), 7 Deadly Dwarves. I'm not sure if I've ever explained the concept behind the project, so here it is: each song (and yes, there are exactly 7) is supposed to be under 2 minutes, and be very, very economical in use of vocals. The theme is modeled, loosely, on the 7 deadly sins. Today's offering is entitled "Lazy" (get it? It's like 'sloth', but with a Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs style name. Get it?!?)

New Music Moday - Uphill Both Ways

No promises, but I pinky-swear I'm going to try to put a new musical piece up every Monday. This particular song is from an unusual project I'm working on; something of a novella/concept album. Not really sure how it's going to work, or if it will even work at all, but whatever. It can be fun to crash and burn sometimes.

As always, there is a media player in the sidebar featuring today's selection as well as blasts from the past. Enjoy!

Player on the sidebar. Yay!

So I've added a player to the sidebar that will let anyone who cares to listen to whatever material I happen to be working on, or just weird stuff I want to upload.

Right now, I've got one of the tracks from "7 Deadly Dwarves", which is, to keep it short, I project I'm working on where I try to cram as much into a song while keeping it under two minutes and listenable.
