RSSWhich, for people in the know, is a quote from a Sonata Arctica song (my favorite band of…6 years now I think?)
I’m finally out of school and ready to hit the studio. Also known as my room. Last night was dedicated to seeing how exactly some of these parts would turn out recorded. Some work, some don’t, so I’m back to revising. Song progress: Say Fly is done, a new vocal tune is in the rhythmic cleaning process, When The Lights Go Out is done, Parasailing needs maybe 4 bars more, and I’m writing two new songs. One is a Michael Hedges-esque airy-sounding sort of piece, with a very prominent fretless part. The other is…reggae? The verses are reggae and the chorus is a jazzy walking bassline with chord comps. Both songs are in DADEBA (Hedges’ Woman of the World tuning).
The new site layout is 95% done; the other 5% is fixing all the things that break in Internet Explorer. How exciting. I coded everything except the basic PHP structure myself because I’m a geek and enjoy spending my weekends on these type of things. That or I’m going to school for web design. In case this rock star thing doesn’t work out.
Right.
Expect much much much more soon (and more often). Studio pictures, how I’m doing this stuff, song snippets (watch HERE for those), general 3am nonsense…you know the drill.
Lucky you! I’m under a deluge of assignments and won’t finish for two more months. It’ll be like a long-lost reunion with the guitar when I get there…
I started writing something in DADEBA but working out where the notes where got very tricky. Billy McLaughlin wrote Helms Place, Hurricane Bob and Breaking of the Shells all in that tuning so it must be very valid and useful to have the top two strings the wrong way round.
I totally forgot about that! I used to know Helm’s Place about…probably 2 years ago by now. I may relearn it now that you brought that up. My only problem with those type of songs is that I’m not a fan of a static tapped melody with a 4 note bassline. It’s just become repetitious. Though, Helm’s Place is one of the good ones IMO.
Fixing stuff in IE?
… There are people out there that still use IE?
You’d be surprised. Almost 20% of my traffic uses IE.
Unfortunately.
>.>
and how many use opera or Google Chrome? haha. im assuming a majority uses Fail Fox?
2 Chrome users and one Opera user.
Which I’m assuming to be you. XD
