Re: New songs uploaded/work vs. inspiration



Hey George, nice stuff. I'm enjoying it.  so far, Calling has been my favorite.

Are you liking that Godin jazz guitar? would you really play jazz with it?

So I've been hanging around the list for a while now, and decided it was time to share. I created a ubetoo account and uploaded some of my most recent work. I don't think any of it is more than a couple of weeks old.

This is somewhat relevant to the Inspiration/Work thread, in that all these pieces are the result of a decision I made a few months ago to play every day and record it. I have been shocked at the diversity of my output as a result of this daily discipline. So many times I felt uninspired when I began, but somewhere along the line, BANG! It hit.

The pieces are not particualrly polished because part of the contract is that I don't spend any more than an hour and a half composing/recording anything, and that includes warm-up time. I spend a little time after the fact mixing down in Live or Sonar, but I've generated so much material as a result of this disciplne that I literally don' have time to mix everything down. So I mix down as rapidly as possible, doing little more than set panning and levels.Very little post effects are used...a rare compressor or eq is the extent of it. 

In the next couple of months I will be putting effort in to creating a polished album (or three...I've generated that much material in the last couple of months!), and hopefully start playing some shows.
