So...I suppose I'll start talking a little about the album. I know it's still January! Just getting all set up and such. I tend to be ok at making goofy ass pop songs. So I figured this go round I'd delve into my darker side and make something a little moodier, more personal, and more melancholy. The working title for the album right now is "Whisper Room" and the songs I have some ideas for that I'm going to develop for this record will be:
1. Whisper Room
2. Dimly
3. Shell
4. County Line
5. Hat and Beard
I tell you these now so you can keep up as we go. ;) None of these songs are written at this point. They have a very vague structure in my mind. I've been curious on what sorts of sounds I should use for this record. I'm a fairly traditional guy but I've been thinking of getting into some things I don't normally do on this one.
For example my friend Satish played me a track recently he did as a film score example. Piano, violin and oboe. I thought it was a beatuful track and that I could totally rip it off for one of my originals for the album. So that's what I was up until late hours last night trying to do. IT SUCKED SO BAD! I can get..let's say a piano...then maybe a cello? But then adding the third instrument turns it into clash of the morons. I'm still not ready to give the idea up. And I don't even know what song I would apply that to. But I will try. My wife Amanda says I should include oboe...in fact 2 or 3 or I shouldn't even bother.
