what.

I'm up. At almost 2:30am mixing songs for fun. And since I'll have the house to myself tomorrow, I'll be making songs with whatever objects and instruments I want. YES.

GOODNIGHT.

Starting to Record.

I'm beginning to record for the EP I'm putting out, which has yet to be named, and (as I said in the past) I'm doing this solely off of garageband using an audio-interface. All the songs are written with both lyrics and guitar parts and all have titles. So now, it's rough demos for me and figuring out my voice some more. If any interest is taken to my work, let me know and I'll give you a copy when I finish.

The E.P. (Track List)
1) Returning
2) The Vessel
3) The Shame; We Became
4) The Two Way Street (however, there's a good chance that I'll be dropping this song from the list)
5) The Fence, In Autumn

Lyrics for some of the songs can be found on my poetry blog, the whole Trunk Tales Of Woe business.

EP Writing Process (No Process Reference, Please)



Tracks (So Far)
1) The Vessel
2) The Two Way Street
3) The Shame: We Became

The EP, Thus Far.

So, I have a few lyrics and guitar parts that I'm dying to use, but I felt it wasn't enough. Guitar and lyrics? No. Too little. So I've recommissioned my mandolin and I'm starting to write more parts! Of course, my EP is very similar to Bon Iver's "For Emma, Forever Ago" in that (I hate to say it) there is a lot of relationship issues that need some resolving on my part that I'm trying to work out through songs. For inspiration today, I've been listening to the song Creature Fear by Bon Iver. It's message? Go forth, and cry...enjoy.
