So, I’m still waiting for my Adobe Audition 3.0 to come in the mail and I still can’t record anything yet, but my new computer system for recording is all set up and ready to go! So that is a good thing, ladies and gentlemen! Ok?
But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working on anything. Haha. I wrote a piece of music for the singers to record for the Dying Cemeteries digital documentary I’m involved with. Good times! I can’t wait to hear how they learn it, but I have to admit, I’m nervous for the recording session. That takes some real ‘CEO’ type action.
Anyway, I’ve been asked to come up with a 20 second theme song. This is more difficult than you think. 20 seconds is a reaaal short amount of time. I’ve asked an old classmate of mine, @DoreTaylor to play guitar for me. I’m not sure how I’m going to do it, but what I want is to be able to musically refer to the State Song so that it is recognizable to someone who knew it, but modern sounding enough to match the tone of the documentary series.
Until I can get you some new original music from me, here’s three videos from three albums I’m listening to right now!
I Look to You by Whitney Houston is amazing! The whole album is great!!!
Imogen Heap’s new album, Ellipse is also of equal quality. Her music inspires me to do better at my own.
Finally Kate Earl. Her album is simple and poppy and refers back to several decades of the past. It’s fun. It’s light. Enjoy it.
