Okay, I'm removing the songs that were on It's All About The Music because they've had their day in the sun, and I'm feeling like I need to see something different on here.
I will be posting new songs as I complete them, but as I work those out I will be posting some of my older tunes that are not "typical" for me as I judge myself. These are the songs that I think are out of my comfort zone.
For now, you can listen to my newest song "Heal My Friend." It is the tune I did for Rob Grant. It may be worked on at a later time, but for right now I think I'm happy with it. 
Now, go forth and RECORD! If not, you can spend your time listening.
Some cool stuff going on in the music...
I have posted two songs since I last Blogged:
One was a Christmas tune that will be coming off the site soon and put in moth balls until next Christmas Season. This song had Warren Peese helpign me out by playing the drums. A big thank you to Warren for that because that made the first song I've ever posted where jaug didn't tell me I needed "real drums." That's a huge relief... The song also had WildHoneyPie singing. This isn't the collab we've been working on, but it's something and it made me feel like I was ready to make Music again, so... Virtual High-Five all around!
The other was a song that I sang on... Hehe, I can't listen to the song any more, but I've received a lot of feedback on it, so that all good too.
A current project I'm playing with: I have a draft of a tune that I'm working on - just the guitar rhythm track at this point. I've sent this draft to three exceptional singers to have them put their creative stamp on. There are no limits or rules to what they can and can't do with it. Hopefully, once we're all done we'll have 4 different songs from the same seed idea. I'm hoping to debut them all together to see what everybody came up with.
An official apology/I promise I haven't forgotten you to:
Imellow64/Michael
Wizard Sleeve
Rasmuth
Gabriel
Warren Peese
WildHoneyPie
I promise I will get to it...
That's about it for this month. Go record. listen, and have fun.
Ahem... You know it's coming.... It's All About The Music! :devil:
<p>First off - Welcome to all of the new folks to the site, and thanks to any who have felt moved enough to listen and comment on my tunes. With this rush of listeners I think some folks are giving me more credit than I deserve... All of the singing, and most of the lyrics you hear on the tunes on my page are from FocusPlayer. It is his voice that is making the tunes touch you.</p><p> </p><p>As of yesterday I have fired up the music making machine again. <img src="/include/tiny_mce/../../images/smilies/face-grin.png" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" /> I have a song that has been haunting me to record and I had some time to myself yesterday that I used to get the process started. My goal is to make it different than the other tunes I've done as far as tone is concerned, but once the Record button is hit that Distortion is so hard to ignore...<img src="/include/tiny_mce/../../images/smilies/face-wink.png" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" width="16" height="16" /></p><p> </p><p>Not much else to report. If you haven't had a chance to check out the Nexus Radio stuff going on make sure you do!!! A lot of exciting stuff going on with the marriage of Nexus and iMusicScene... Pfft, I've had a couple of tunes played over there - How cool is that?!</p><p> </p><p>Oh well, go play, listen, and record! It's all about the music.</p>
Let me start by offering up a HUGE THANK YOU to RS Cain for featuring my CD last night on his Nexus show, and another HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who tuned in to listen to it... Okay, maybe my CD wasn't why you were there, but you were gracious enough to listen to it, and say some very kind things. Thanks for that.
To the people who have expressed interest in getting a copy of the CD - Thanks for that too. It's on its way! It may be a couple of weeks before it gets there, but you can bet real money that it will get to you.
That's pretty much all I had today. Thanks for listening. Thanks for commenting. Thanks for last night... :devil:
<p>Well, I have some good news and I have some bad news...</p><p> </p><p>The good news is that I have a new song posted since the last time I made a Blog entry. The bad news is that even though it's not finished, I think it's done being worked on. The tune I was doing with FP is called Reach Out and it's posted. Unfortunately, FP lost some files for it, and I lost my way (and inspiration) for it. So, there is new music, but it's not as good as it could have been. I was thinking of hiring as full orchestra. I was going to have FP singing a full-out duet with Faith Hill. And... and... Uhhh....</p><p> </p><p>Okay, maybe not, but I did have more ideas for it (think Theremin, maybe a Sitar-esque track, and it needed a real drum track). But coulda, shoulda, woulda is no way to go through life. So, I'll take my bruises for giving up on the tune and move on.</p><p> </p><p>Go listen to the new tune and let me know what you think. I've posted some of my older tunes for the time being - go have a listen as they will surely disappear once I get The Donster Project machine fired up again <img src="/include/tiny_mce/../../images/smilies/face-wink.png" border="0" alt="Wink" title="Wink" width="16" height="16" /></p><p> </p><p>Still working on the tune with WildHoneyPie. That will be finished/posted in the not-so-distant future.</p><p> </p>
No new music to post yet. But since Dazed has expanded how many songs we can have posted I've been re-posting some of the tunes you've already heard on my page. I have all of what is on my "CD" posted now. Since I still have some room I'm thinking I will post some of the tunes that received the most positive feedback... until I have something new to put up.
Collabs are still in the works. I have some ideas that need flashing out. I have some that are coming together pretty easily, and others that will require some more work.
Thanks for stopping by and reading this. Now go listen!! Oh! Leave feedback too!
Okay... Not much has changed. The Battle of the Bands tune is almost done. That came together pretty easily, and we are flirting with the idea of doing a few more songs. Already have some musical ideas recorded to work with, and some other ideas that haven't been recorded yet, but offer exciting prospects (for me anyways).
The song with WHP is being re-tooled. It will be good, but I don't think I gave her enough to work with as we rolled it out. Working at a fevered pitch to get this done for our adoring masses who want more!
Haven't heard from FP. I think he hates me... Just kidding! That, as you would expect, is going to be a little different than what is typically posted here. Both he & I like to do things a little "different" and this tune gave us both a chance to explore.
I have a bunch of ideas that I want to get to still. I have a few collabs in the works. And most of my gear is packed up... Hey! I think I just figured out why I'm having productivity issues!.. :D
Thanks for stopping by. NOW, GO LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AND LEAVE FEEDBACK!!!
Hey! I can do a Blog Entry!!
Okay, with the release of The Collective DVD with a 2nd disc attached I've gone through some of the files that were going to be on that CD Project I was working on awhile ago and collected them into what my CD would be if I were to release it. It will be on the 2nd disc of The Collective release, but it is also available through a link that is posted in Member's CD Releases. Check it out if you're interested.
I've got quite a few music ideas that I want to get to. Time just seems to slip through my hands like water. I'll keep on it and hopefully have some more new music soon. For those of you that like teasers - I'm working on a collab with Wild Honey Pie, and I've been neglecting one with FP that is just about done. Also, I'm involved in that Battle of the Bands that we've got brewing here. RainbowAvenue, Imellow64, and I are the band called Matanooska Thunder. So far things are going really well, so I'm excited about what our final output will sound like! 
That's it for now. Listen to the tunes, and LEAVE FEEDBACK!!!
