Thinking about air a lot.

There's a little dude sleeping right across the hall from me. So most of my recording is done in some way or another via direct inputs. I'm an embracer of technology to be honest. I love old stuff but I love new stuff too. And while we can argue the merits of how much better a guitar would sound through a marshall cabinet pushing air into a microphone, without the technology I'm using I wouldn't be able to do any of this at all. Because I can do it in silence. But I was watching the 'Classic Albums' episode on Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the Key of Life" Watching those horns. The last thing those notes hit before they were committed to electronics was air. Those notes WERE air. My notes are never air. Therefore I'm plugging in my loud ass amplifier tomorrow and sticking a microphone in front of it and raising hell. I have no idea what my success level will be.

I've taken a couple of days off, and then got promptly back to work. I wanted this album to be melancholy. But now I'm just so wallowey in depressing music, I'm just not so sure. We'll see how it goes.

I'll put clips up soon of the new song I'm working on. It's called "Dimly" Stephen King said he doesn't care for adverbs. However, I'm not so sure I care for Stephen King.
